TikTok Marketing for Restaurants

Introduction


Let me tell you about a taco truck in Austin that changed everything with one video.


The owner filmed a 12-second clip of al pastor being carved off a spinning trompo. The meat glistened. The knife moved rhythmically. A trendy reggaeton track played in the background.


That video got 2.3 million views in 48 hours.


The result? A line around the block for three weeks straight. Local news coverage. A feature in Eater. And a permanent spot as Austin's most Instagrammed taco truck.


Total production cost: $0. Time invested: 45 seconds.


That's the power of TikTok for restaurants.

Here's what most restaurant owners don't understand: TikTok isn't just for dancing teenagers anymore. According to a 2024 study by MGH, 36% of TikTok users have visited or ordered from a restaurant after seeing it on the platform, and 53% of Millennials and Gen Z say TikTok influences where they eat.


Even more staggering: TikTok has over 150 million active users in the United States alone (Statista, 2024). That's nearly half the country scrolling through short-form videos every single day.


The NYC/NJ Reality:

In food-obsessed markets like Manhattan, Brooklyn, Hoboken, and Jersey City, TikTok has become the new Yelp for younger diners. Before they Google you, before they check your Instagram, they search TikTok for "#HobokenFood" or "#NYCEats." If you're not showing up, your competitors are.


What You'll Learn in This Guide:

  • Why TikTok's algorithm is different from Instagram (and why that's great for you)

  • The 7 types of restaurant content that go viral on TikTok

  • How to use trending sounds and hashtags strategically

  • Equipment and tools you need (most are free)

  • How to turn TikTok views into actual reservations and orders

  • Real costs of TikTok marketing in 2026

  • Common mistakes that kill your reach

  • A case study showing how one NYC café gained 47K followers and increased weekend traffic by 65%


This isn't about becoming a content creator or dancing on camera. It's about showing up where your future customers are already looking—and giving them a reason to visit.


Let's dive in.


Table of Contents


Why TikTok Is Different from Instagram (And Why It Matters)


Before we get tactical, you need to understand why TikTok is a fundamentally different opportunity than Instagram.


The Discovery Problem on Instagram

On Instagram, your content is primarily shown to people who already follow you. The algorithm shows your Reels to maybe 10-20% of your followers first, then decides whether to push it further based on engagement.

Translation: If you have 500 followers, your Reel might reach 50-100 people. To grow, you need to already have an audience—a classic chicken-and-egg problem.


TikTok's "For You" Revolution

TikTok works completely differently. Every single video you post is shown to a small test audience of people who don't follow you. If they engage (watch to the end, like, comment, share), TikTok shows it to more people. If THEY engage, it shows to even more.


Translation: A restaurant with zero followers can get 100,000 views on their first video if the content is good enough.

What This Means for Restaurants


Instagram: Great for nurturing existing customers and building brand aesthetic.


TikTok: Great for reaching NEW customers who've never heard of you.


The Strategy: Use TikTok for discovery, Instagram for community, and your website for conversion.



How the TikTok Algorithm Actually Works


Understanding the algorithm is the key to getting your content seen. Here's how TikTok decides what to show people.


The Testing Process

  1. You post a video.

  2. TikTok shows it to ~200-500 random users who have shown interest in similar content (food, restaurants, your location).

  3. The algorithm measures:

    • Watch time (did they watch to the end?)

    • Rewatches (did they watch multiple times?)

    • Likes, comments, shares, saves

    • Profile visits after watching

    • Follows after watching

  4. If metrics are strong, TikTok shows it to 1,000-5,000 more users.

  5. If metrics stay strong, it shows to 10,000, 50,000, 100,000+.

  6. If metrics drop, it stops pushing the video.


The Most Important Metric: Watch Time


The #1 factor in TikTok's algorithm is how much of the video people watch.

Watch Completion

Algorithm Response

0-25% (people swipe away fast)

Video dies

25-50% (some interest)

Limited push

50-75% (good retention)

Moderate push

75-100% (great retention)

Strong push

100%+ (rewatches)

Viral potential


The Implication for Restaurants:

  • Hook viewers in the first 1 second

  • Keep videos short (7-15 seconds is the sweet spot)

  • Create "satisfying" content people want to rewatch (sizzle, pour, cheese pull)


The Local Discovery Factor

TikTok knows where users are located. When someone in Jersey City opens TikTok and browses #food content, TikTok prioritizes showing them content from nearby creators and businesses.


This is HUGE for restaurants. You don't need millions of views from around the world. You need thousands of views from people within 10 miles who can actually visit.


The 7 Types of Restaurant Content That Go Viral on TikTok

Not all content performs equally. Here are the 7 formats that consistently work for restaurants.


Type 1: The Satisfying Process Video

What it is: Hypnotic footage of food being prepared—cheese pulls, sauce pours, meat sizzling, dough stretching.

Why it works: Triggers ASMR-like satisfaction. People watch to the end (and rewatch).

Examples:

  • Cheese being pulled off pizza in slow motion

  • Cocktail being poured over ice

  • Pasta being tossed in a pan

  • Steak hitting a hot grill

Best practices:

  • Shoot in slow motion

  • Get CLOSE (6-12 inches from the food)

  • Use natural sound or trending audio

  • Keep it under 15 seconds

Inspiration: Search "food ASMR" or "satisfying food videos" on TikTok for ideas.


Type 2: The Behind-the-Scenes Reveal

What it is: Showing customers what they don't normally see—kitchen prep, secret recipes, the chaos of a busy night.

Why it works: Creates "insider" feeling. Makes the restaurant feel human and authentic.

Examples:

  • "POV: You're working a Saturday night in our kitchen"

  • "How we make our signature dish from scratch"

  • "What opening a restaurant at 6 AM actually looks like"

  • "The secret ingredient in our famous sauce"

Best practices:

  • Show real moments, not staged perfection

  • Include your team (faces = connection)

  • Add text overlays to explain what's happening

  • Use trending sounds


Type 3: The Transformation Video

What it is: Before/after or start-to-finish transformation of a dish.

Why it works: Creates narrative tension. People watch to see the final result.

Examples:

  • Raw ingredients → finished plate

  • Empty restaurant → packed Saturday night

  • Blank cake → decorated masterpiece

  • Dough ball → fresh pasta

Best practices:

  • Start with something unrecognizable

  • Speed up the middle portion

  • Slow down for the dramatic reveal

  • End with the money shot (the final dish)


Type 4: The POV/Day-in-the-Life

What it is: First-person perspective of what it's like to run/work at the restaurant.

Why it works: Creates parasocial connection. Viewers feel like they know you.

Examples:

  • "POV: You're a barista making 200 lattes today"

  • "A day in the life of a restaurant owner"

  • "Come to work with me at 5 AM"

  • "What happens after we close"

Best practices:

  • Use first-person camera angles

  • Show the unglamorous parts (authenticity)

  • Include personality and humor

  • Tell a story with a beginning, middle, end


Type 5: The Menu Challenge/Recommendation

What it is: Showing off menu items in a fun, engaging way.

Why it works: Directly showcases your food while providing entertainment value.

Examples:

  • "Trying every item on our menu"

  • "What $20 gets you at our restaurant"

  • "Rating our menu items brutally honestly"

  • "Things to order if you're new here"

  • "Dishes our staff actually eat on break"

Best practices:

  • Be genuine (not everything has to be "amazing")

  • Show real portions and presentation

  • Include prices (transparency builds trust)

  • End with a clear recommendation


Type 6: The Trending Sound/Challenge

What it is: Participating in viral TikTok trends using popular sounds.

Why it works: TikTok's algorithm heavily promotes content using trending sounds.

Examples:

  • Any viral sound adapted to your restaurant

  • "This could be us but you're not hungry" meme

  • Trend challenges with your food as the star

  • React videos to food trends

Best practices:

  • Jump on trends within 48-72 hours (they die fast)

  • Make it relevant to your restaurant

  • Don't force it—if a trend doesn't fit, skip it

  • Check TikTok Creative Center for trending sounds


Type 7: The Story/Personality Content

What it is: Personal stories about why you started the restaurant, your journey, your values.

Why it works: People connect with people, not businesses. Emotional content gets shared.

Examples:

  • "Why I quit my corporate job to open a restaurant"

  • "This recipe is from my grandmother who..."

  • "Three years ago we almost closed, but..."

  • "The story behind our restaurant's name"

Best practices:

  • Be vulnerable and authentic

  • Keep it under 60 seconds (or use TikTok's longer format)

  • Show emotion (it's okay to be serious)

  • End with something actionable (come visit, try this dish)


Trending Sounds: How to Find and Use Them

Sounds are the secret weapon of TikTok. Using a trending sound can 10x your reach.


Why Trending Sounds Matter

TikTok's algorithm actively promotes content that uses sounds currently trending on the platform. When you use a trending sound:

  • Your video gets shown to users who engaged with other videos using that sound

  • You tap into existing momentum

  • You appear "culturally relevant" to the algorithm


How to Find Trending Sounds


Method 1: TikTok Creative Center

  • Go to TikTok Creative Center

  • Filter by region (United States) and time period

  • See what's trending RIGHT NOW

  • Save sounds you can use


Method 2: Your For You Page

  • Spend 15 minutes scrolling your FYP

  • Note sounds that appear multiple times

  • Tap the sound name to see how many videos use it

  • Growing sounds (50K-500K videos) are ideal


Method 3: Follow Food Creators

  • Follow 10-15 successful food TikTok accounts

  • Watch what sounds they use

  • They've already done the research for you


Method 4: TikTok's "Trending" Tab

  • Open TikTok → Search → Tap "Trending"

  • Browse trending hashtags and sounds

  • Look for sounds with upward momentum


Sound Categories That Work for Restaurants

Sound Type

Best For

Example

Upbeat/Energetic

Process videos, busy kitchen shots

Pop songs, electronic beats

Chill/Lo-fi

Aesthetic shots, coffee pours

Lo-fi hip hop, jazz

Dramatic

Transformations, reveals

Epic orchestral, bass drops

Trending Memes

Humor, relatability

Viral voice clips, catchphrases

Original Audio

ASMR, cooking sounds

Your own sizzle/pour/chop sounds

How to Save and Use Trending Sounds

  1. Find a video with a sound you like

  2. Tap the sound name (spinning disc icon)

  3. Tap "Add to Favorites" or "Use this sound"

  4. When you create a video, select from your saved sounds


Hashtag Strategy for Local Restaurants

Hashtags on TikTok work differently than Instagram. Here's how to use them strategically.


The 3-Tier Hashtag Strategy

Tier

Type

Example

Purpose

Tier 1

Broad/Trending

Tap into large audiences

Tier 2

Niche/Category

Reach relevant food lovers

Tier 3

Local/Geographic

Reach local customers


Recommended Hashtag Mix


Use 4-6 hashtags per video:

  • 1-2 broad trending hashtags

  • 2-3 niche/category hashtags

  • 1-2 local hashtags


Example for a Hoboken Pizzeria:

text

Local Hashtags by Market (NYC/NJ)


New York City:


New Jersey:


General Food Hashtags:


What NOT to Do with Hashtags

  • ❌ Don't use 20+ hashtags (looks spammy)

  • ❌ Don't use banned or shadow-banned hashtags

  • ❌ Don't only use massive hashtags (too competitive)

  • ❌ Don't ignore local hashtags (your most valuable audience)

CapCut Features You Should Use


CapCut (owned by ByteDance, TikTok's parent company) is the most powerful free video editor:

  • Auto-captions: Automatically generate captions (huge for accessibility)

  • Speed ramping: Slow-mo and speed-up within the same clip

  • Trending templates: One-click templates synced to popular sounds

  • Text animations: Animated text that grabs attention

  • Transitions: Smooth cuts between clips


Filming Best Practices


Lighting:

  • Natural light is best (shoot near windows)

  • Ring light for evening/indoor shots

  • Avoid overhead fluorescent lighting

Angles:

  • 45-degree angle for food (shows depth)

  • Eye-level for talking/personality content

  • Overhead for flat lays and process shots

Stability:

  • Use a tripod when possible

  • Brace your elbows against your body when handheld

  • Slow, deliberate movements (not shaky)

Audio:

  • Film in quieter moments (not during peak service)

  • Use external mic for voiceovers

  • TikTok sounds will cover most audio anyway


How to Turn Views into Reservations


Views are vanity. Reservations are revenue. Here's how to convert TikTok viewers into paying customers.


Strategy 1: Optimize Your Profile

Your profile is your landing page. Make it convert.


Profile Checklist:

  • Username: Your restaurant name (searchable)

  • Profile Photo: Your logo or a signature dish

  • Bio: What you are + where you are + CTA

  • Link: Your website or reservation page


Bio Formula:

text
[What you are] • [Location] • [Signature dish/vibe]
[Call to Action] 👇

Example:

text
Wood-Fired Pizza • Hoboken, NJ 🍕
Best thin crust in Hudson County
Order online ⬇️

Strategy 2: Use the Link in Bio

TikTok allows one clickable link. Make it count.


Options:


Strategy 3: Call-to-Action in Every Video

Don't assume viewers will find you. Tell them what to do.


CTA Examples:

  • "Link in bio to order"

  • "Find us at [Address]"

  • "Come try this before it's gone"

  • "Open 'til 10 tonight"

  • "Tag someone who needs this"

Where to add CTA:

  • Text overlay at the end

  • Voice-over in the last 2 seconds

  • Caption below the video

  • Pinned comment


Strategy 4: Location Tag EVERYTHING

TikTok lets you add a location to your videos. Use it every single time.


Why it matters:

  • Local users searching "[City] food" will find you

  • The algorithm shows location-tagged content to nearby users

  • Builds your presence in local search


Strategy 5: Respond to EVERY Comment

Comments aren't just engagement—they're conversations with potential customers.


What to do:

  • Reply to every comment within 24 hours

  • Answer questions about hours, location, menu

  • Use video replies for common questions (creates more content!)

  • Like comments even if you don't reply

Pro Tip: A video reply to a comment can go viral on its own. If someone asks "What's your best dish?" film a 15-second answer.


Strategy 6: Create Location-Specific Content

Examples:

  • "If you're in Hoboken and you haven't tried this..."

  • "POV: You're in NYC and craving the best tacos"

  • "Things to do in Jersey City (including eating here)"

This signals to both the algorithm AND viewers that you're relevant to their area.

Recommendation: Focus on organic first. Only use ads to amplify content that's already performing well.


ROI Calculation

Let's say you post 12 TikToks per month (3 per week):

Conservative Scenario:

  • 1-2 videos get 10,000+ views

  • 100 profile visits from those videos

  • 10% click your link (10 people)

  • 50% convert to visit/order (5 new customers)

  • Average check: $50

Monthly Revenue from TikTok: $250


Optimistic Scenario (one video goes viral):

  • 1 video gets 500,000 views

  • 5,000 profile visits

  • 10% click your link (500 people)

  • 10% convert (50 new customers)

  • Average check: $50

Monthly Revenue from TikTok: $2,500+


And this doesn't count:

  • Repeat visits from new customers

  • Word of mouth from impressed diners

  • Brand awareness that compounds over time


Common Mistakes That Kill Your Reach


Mistake #1: Posting Like It's Instagram

The Error: Highly polished, perfectly curated content that looks like an ad.

Why It Fails: TikTok rewards authenticity. Overly produced content feels like advertising, and users scroll past.

The Fix: Embrace imperfection. Shaky camera is okay. Real kitchen chaos is okay. Be human, not a brand.


Mistake #2: Not Hooking in the First Second

The Error: Starting with a slow intro, logo animation, or "Hey guys, so today..."

Why It Fails: You have 0.5-1 second to stop the scroll. If you don't hook immediately, they're gone.

The Fix:

  • Start with the most visual moment

  • Use text overlay that creates curiosity

  • Jump straight into the action

  • No intros, no build-up

Bad opening: "Hey everyone, today we're going to show you how we make our pizza..."

Good opening: [Cheese pull happening] + text: "Our $16 pizza has 3 secret ingredients"


Mistake #3: Ignoring Trending Sounds

The Error: Using the same generic background music for every video.

Why It Fails: TikTok's algorithm heavily favors trending sounds. You're leaving reach on the table.

The Fix: Check trending sounds weekly. Use them within 48-72 hours of spotting a trend.


Mistake #4: Posting Inconsistently

The Error: Posting 5 videos in one week, then nothing for a month.

Why It Fails: TikTok rewards consistent creators. Sporadic posting tells the algorithm you're not serious.

The Fix: Commit to a realistic schedule:

  • Minimum: 3 videos/week

  • Ideal: 1 video/day

  • Better to post 3 solid videos weekly than 1 great video monthly


Mistake #5: Not Using Captions/Text

The Error: Video with no text overlays, relying entirely on audio.

Why It Fails: 80% of TikTok users watch with sound off at least sometimes. No text = no message.

The Fix: Add text overlays for:

  • Hook/headline at the start

  • Key points throughout

  • CTA at the end

  • Captions for any speaking


Mistake #6: Ignoring Analytics

The Error: Posting without checking what's working.

Why It Fails: You can't improve what you don't measure.

The Fix: Check TikTok Analytics weekly:

  • Which videos got the most views?

  • What was the average watch time?

  • Where are your viewers located?

  • What time are they most active?

How to access: Profile → Menu (≡) → Creator Tools → Analytics


Mistake #7: Deleting "Failed" Videos

The Error: Deleting videos that don't perform well.

Why It Fails: TikTok videos can go viral days or weeks after posting. Deleting removes that possibility. Also, deleted videos might hurt your account standing.

The Fix: Leave everything up. Learn from what didn't work.


Case Study: How a NYC Café Gained 47K Followers and 65% More Traffic


The Client: A specialty coffee café in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.


The Problem:

  • Strong local following but plateaued growth

  • Instagram engagement declining

  • Wanted to reach younger customers (Gen Z)

  • No TikTok presence

  • Weekend brunch had 20-minute waits; weekdays were slow


The Strategy:


Phase 1: Account Setup (Week 1)

  • Created TikTok Business account

  • Optimized bio: "Williamsburg's coziest coffee shop ☕ Specialty lattes + fresh pastries 📍 Open 7AM-5PM"

  • Linked to online ordering page

  • Followed 50 food TikTok accounts for inspiration


Phase 2: Content Strategy (Weeks 2-8)

Posted 5 videos per week using this mix:

Content Type

Frequency

Example

Latte Art / Pour Shots

2x/week

Slow-mo latte art with trending sound

Behind-the-Scenes

1x/week

"5 AM opening routine" POV

Menu Highlights

1x/week

"Our most popular order this week"

Trending Sound/Challenge

1x/week

Whatever was trending, adapted to café


Phase 3: Local Optimization

Every video included:


Phase 4: Engagement

  • Responded to every comment within 2 hours

  • Created video replies to questions

  • Dueted with local food bloggers who mentioned them


The Breakthrough Video:

A 9-second video of a barista pouring a lavender oat milk latte with a trending lo-fi sound.

  • Posted on a Wednesday at 7 AM

  • By Thursday: 50,000 views

  • By Saturday: 340,000 views

  • By end of month: 890,000 views


Why it worked:

  • Visually satisfying (the purple color, the pour)

  • Trending sound (algorithm boost)

  • Short and loopable (high rewatch rate)

  • Location tagged (reached local viewers)

Conclusion: Your Next Steps

Let's recap what we covered:


TikTok's algorithm favors new creators. You don't need followers to go viral.

Watch time is everything. Hook in the first second, keep videos short, make them rewatchable.

7 content types work for restaurants: Process, BTS, Transformation, POV, Menu, Trending, Story.

Trending sounds = algorithm boost. Check TikTok Creative Center weekly.

Local hashtags matter. Use #NYCFood, #HobokenEats, etc. to reach nearby customers.

Convert views to visits. Optimize your profile, use CTAs, respond to comments, location-tag everything.

Consistency beats perfection. 3 imperfect videos per week beats 1 perfect video per month.


Your Immediate Action Plan:

  1. Today: Download TikTok and set up your Business profile.

  2. This Week: Post your first 3 videos using trending sounds.

  3. Next Week: Establish a daily posting rhythm (or every other day minimum).

  4. This Month: Analyze what's working and double down.

  5. Ongoing: Combine with Instagram Reels for maximum reach.
