How To Promote Your Restaurant Using Instagram — Change
Instagram has become a great tool for the food and restaurant industry. Over 60 million pictures are shared on the app each day, many of them highlighting delectable meals. Food photography has grown in popularity since Instagram’s debut in 2010 and many restaurants are capitalizing on this trend.

Promote your restaurant’s Instagram account by encouraging customers to tag your restaurant location. Your business name appears above these photos so everyone knows exactly where the food came from.
Change customer @paperboykitchen in Australia tags all their photos with their location and many of their customers do as well.
