I hope to have a draft completed before April 10, with interviews completed by April 5. Restaurant and bar owners and management are increasingly using AI for marketing to streamline content creation, personalize guest experiences, and automate advertising to boost revenue. Depending on the restaurant and its target guests, it can be used to generate social media posts, manage reviews with chatbots, predict diner preferences for targeted campaigns, optimize local search (SEO), and analyze competitor data to improve online presence. I am looking to speak with owners, managers, and others responsible for bar and restaurant marketing to learn how they selected their marketing platforms, how they use AI, which AI elements do not work for them, and the quantifiable results from switching to AI-driven marketing. They should also share tips on how to use AI while maintaining brand identity, staying relatable to guests, avoiding promotional missteps, and choosing the right AI tools. Please address the following questions and feel free to share photos tied to campaigns where AI made a significant difference in your venue’s success. How has AI helped refine your voice and branding? How have you used AI-driven strategies—such as creating ads, fliers, or copy, or identifying key demographics? How has AI helped you develop new marketing materials or update existing materials? How has AI been useful in: - Developing targeted promotions and advertising for different audiences - Creating timely marketing collateral - Discovering marketing trends that increase profits and drive traffic Is there a learning curve in determining how AI could help your bar or restaurant marketing and which platforms or technologies are best suited for your establishment? Has AI streamlined the marketing process or made marketing with a small team easier? Or is your marketing team optimizing its performance through AI data—how? Has AI helped with SEO and optimization? What were the benefits once you mastered these? How has AI helped improve your online and social media presence? How have you maintained your restaurant's voice and identity while using AI? How has AI helped you better understand and manage the data behind your sales and costs?
