Running a restaurant or shop in the Caribbean? Franco Food gives you powerful tools to reach more customers โ but the businesses that sell the most all do a few things right. Here are 10 proven tips to boost your sales.
1. Use mouth-watering photos ๐ธ
Listings with good photos get dramatically more orders. Use natural light, show the real dish, and keep your menu photos updated. Your food should look as good as it tastes.
2. Create coupons for your store ๐๏ธ
From your business dashboard you can create your own discount codes. A "WELCOME15" for new customers or a weekend flash deal can bring a wave of first-time buyers who become regulars.
3. Go live and sell! ๐ด
Live selling is huge. Show your kitchen, prepare a dish on camera, answer questions in real time. Businesses that go live regularly see their follower count โ and their sales โ grow fast.
4. Notify your followers ๐ข
Every time you launch a coupon or go live, your followers get a push notification. Build that follower base: mention it in-store, on your packaging, and on social media.
5. Keep your hours updated ๐
Nothing loses a customer faster than ordering from a "closed" store. Keep your schedule accurate in the dashboard so customers always know when you're open.
6. Respond fast to orders โก
Accept orders quickly. Fast confirmation means faster delivery, happier customers, and better ratings โ which push you higher in search results.
7. Watch your reviews โญ
Check your ratings in the dashboard regularly. A 4.5+ star rating builds trust. If you get a bad review, learn from it and improve โ customers notice when businesses care.
8. Offer combo deals ๐๐
Bundles increase your average ticket. A burger + fries + drink combo at a slight discount sells more than each item alone.
9. Be active during peak hours ๐
Lunch (12โ2 PM) and dinner (6โ8 PM) are gold. Make sure you're open, staffed, and ready during these windows โ that's when most orders happen.
10. Use the business dashboard daily ๐
Your dashboard shows trends, top products, and earnings. Check it every morning: double down on what sells, fix what doesn't.
