MP TV with Matt Plapp

As a restaurant marketing expert, I've spoken to hundreds of owners about their greatest frustrations. Did you know that the same 3 obstacles surface over and over? Low sales, low profits, and difficulties finding quality employees - sound familiar?  The truth is these problems all have one potential solution in common: building customer loyalty! Restaurants want more repeat customers but often fail at retaining them for multiple visits. That's why if restaurants can establish loyal patrons as part of their core business model they are likely to see an uptick in both sales AND...

MP TV with Matt Plapp

I recently experienced a wave of interest and attention after going viral on TikTok for something unrelated to what I offer. I'm a restaurant marketer, but my viral video had nothing to do with food - it was just me wearing an orange sweater and talking about not receiving a bag at best buy. It didn't take long for the Internet to notice and start talking about my look. The interest generated from my viral TikTok video was incredible and drove a huge amount of conversation and attention to my business. I was able to leverage this newfound attention and use it to attract more customers. In this...

MP TV with Matt Plapp

A podcast guest so LEGIT I had to bring him back on for another episode! That's right, I'm talking about Luis Certified Legit! Luis is one of the two hosts of America's Best Restaurants, and in this podcast, we go into some of the pre-episode rituals Luis practices before filming an episode! He's a firm believer in experiencing the restaurant like a civilian and strategically DOESN'T look up a restaurant online before visiting. This might sound counterintuitive but Luis says this gives him a more genuine reaction to incredible restaurant owner stories! For more restaurant marketing content...

MP TV with Matt Plapp

I got to sit down with the owner of Downtown Flavortown and talk about how the concept of delivering an amazing food experience and entertainment can be combined in a tourist destination! Typically arcade-style restaurants don't have amazing food and restaurants don't have games! Downtown Flavortown has tweaked its approach to offer both of these in one great experience, and having Guy Fieri's name attached just gives it a prestige that other restaurants in this market cannot offer!   For more restaurant marketing content check out my channels linked below:

Details matter! Today I'm going to share with you a few quick stories about while you may think your business is tight, a few loose ends can make all the difference. I recently noticed that a restaurant local to me had some issues... in their bathroom. not a major problem but it was a little dirty. I bring this up because you need to have an eye for these things, but sometimes it takes an outside eye to notice little things that you might overlook on a daily basis.
