The article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of developing and implementing a marketing strategy to promote a restaurant business in a digital environment. The relevance of the study is determined by the rapid pace of digitalization of the economy, the transformation of consumer behavior models, and the growing role of social media as a key channel of communication between the brand and the consumer. The paper analyzes modern approaches to using SMM, content, and performance marketing tools, and identifies the main trends in digital promotion in the restaurant business. Based on a marketing study conducted for the Roll Club (Kharkiv), the effectiveness of existing SMM campaigns is assessed, the dominant communication channels are identified, the level of audience engagement is assessed, and the factors shaping customer loyalty are identified. According to a questionnaire survey of 120 respondents, more than 75% of consumers learn about the brand through social networks, confirming the leading role of digital channels in shaping demand. The article outlines steps to improve a restaurant’s marketing strategy, including introducing social listening and analytics tools, using short-form video formats, personalizing content, incorporating gamification elements, and leveraging CRM technologies. The implementation of the proposed measures will increase brand awareness, foster sustainable customer loyalty, and enhance the competitiveness of restaurant businesses. The presented tools will help increase loyalty among existing customers and attract new Roll Club customers, thereby improving the restaurant’s commercial results.
Keywords: marketing strategy, restaurant business, digital environment, social networks, SMM, consumer loyalty, digitalization, brand.
