How to build customer loyalty in a restaurant using digital technology?
Visit customer loyalty is a major challenge, whatever your business. This is especially true in the restaurant business. If word-of-mouth is an effective method for improve local awarenessa digital strategy enables a company to increase its sales, in addition to reduce the cost of acquiring of new customers andensure the long-term future of its business. There are many marketing levers to implement such a strategy.
To better understand our approach, here are the 4 stages of a successful conversion funnel:
- Capture web users’ attention with unique content
Here, it’s all about visibility. The graphic charter reveals its full importance, used for impactful visuals. The content must clearly answer the questions that visitors ask: what kind of food is served? Where is the restaurant located? Etc.
- Convert them into qualified sales contacts (or leads)
It’s a first contact, a confidence-building exercise. You need to create a relationship with the prospect, especially for a local business.
- Turn this prospect into a customer
What makes your service different from your neighbor’s? In a dynamic city where restaurants flourish, it can be difficult to establish yourself as the right choice for good food. This means simplifying the customer experience as much as possible, with table reservations just a few clicks away.
- Building local customer loyalty
For a brasserie, it’s obvious that a certain amount of “natural” loyalty is built up if the customer has enjoyed the food and the service. However, it’s just as important to maintain contact via platforms like social networks. So you exist, almost on a daily basis, in the minds of your customers: the friendly local shop where they can go to eat with friends!
Let’s start with the first step: being visible, especially on the Internet, and attracting prospects. The proposed solution? Create a new website.
Custom website design

On the design and practical side, the site has been entirely designed to match the restaurant’s aesthetic and values. As the room’s decoration was unique and distinctive, it was obvious to use the same codes. Black, chosen for its sophistication, and gold for its prestige and warmth, perfectly convey the harmony of the space. It was important to highlight this graphic charter to affirm thevisual identity of the restaurant. In the spirit of the Valenciennes region, a black-and-gold restaurant will be immediately associated with the Le Président brasserie.
User experience
After defining its universe, the website was entirely designed to be responsiveThis means it adapts to all screen resolutions (phone, tablet, computer, etc.). This feature is essential, especially when you consider that two-thirds of Google searches are carried out from a smartphone. The format therefore adapts to the device from which you are consulting the restaurant menu. Practical!
