It is the question we hear most from restaurant and bar owners. The honest answer: the right number is the one you can keep up every week. A steady rhythm you sustain will do more for you than a burst of daily posts that stops after a month.

Your followers, and the platforms, respond to a page that shows up reliably. For most independent restaurants, bars and cafés, three to five feed posts a week plus Stories on most days is a workable starting point. If that feels like too much, start with three good posts a week and build from there.

A simple weekly rhythm

Planning gets easier when each day has a job. A week might include: one post that shows off a dish or drink; one behind-the-scenes moment from the kitchen or bar; one that introduces the people who work there; one about an event, offer or seasonal special; and one that shares what guests are saying or posting. Five types of post means you never stare at a blank screen.

04

Use Stories for the day-to-day

Stories are where you can be quick and informal: today’s special, a table that just opened up, the band sound-checking, the first batch out of the oven. They keep you visible between bigger posts without needing the same polish.

05

Post before people decide where to go

Timing matters more than chasing a perfect hour. Share your weekend plans before the weekend, festival menus before the festival, and match-night offers before match day, so you are in front of people while they are still deciding.

06

Make every post worth stopping for

Real food, real people and good light will always beat stock photos. A well-lit, close-up shot taken on a phone near a window can outperform an expensive shoot that looks generic. If a post would not make you hungry, it is not ready.
