Be the spot they think of when they're hungry.
Small restaurants, local food spots, and convenience stores use HootBiz to stay top of mind and keep regulars coming back.
The food business runs on repeat customers, but between orders and inventory there is no time for marketing. Delivery apps take a cut of every order and keep the customer relationship for themselves. HootBiz gives you a direct line to your regulars: specials, new items, and updates that go straight to the people who already love your food.
Today's special, everyone's inbox.
Post specials, new menu items, and weekend hours as Hoots. Your subscribers hear about them by email the moment you publish, no app fees in between.
Reviews that bring foot traffic.
Display your ratings from Google, Yelp, and Facebook in one Reputation Hub, and send automated review requests that keep the stars fresh.
A profile that works nights and weekends.
Menus, photos, hours, and contact info on a search-indexed page that answers customer questions while you run the counter.
How It Works for a Local Food Spot
Wednesday at 10 a.m., you post a Hoot: today's special with a photo, sixty seconds of work. Your regulars get it by email before lunch, and a dozen come in for it, no delivery-app commission on any of those orders. A happy first-timer gets a review request that evening; her stars join your Google and Yelp ratings in your Reputation Hub. Someone new to the neighborhood searches for late-night takeout that weekend, finds your indexed profile with hours, menu photos, and eighty gathered reviews, and walks in. Your list grows a little every week, a direct line no app can take a cut of.
