Columbus has one of the most competitive restaurant scenes for its size in the country. Discovery, photos, and reviews decide most of it before anyone reads a menu.
Restaurant marketing has an unusually short distance between marketing and outcome. Someone searches, looks at photos, checks reviews, and decides within about ninety seconds. Everything in that window matters enormously.
Which means the highest-leverage work is often unglamorous: current hours on every platform, professional food photography, a menu that is indexed text rather than a PDF, and reviews that are recent.
Then there is the owned audience. Restaurants that build an email and SMS list can fill a slow Tuesday on demand. Restaurants that rely only on social are at the mercy of reach they do not control.
