Text Message Marketing
for Restaurants

Yes, dining establishments can text message diners when their tables are ready as long as the text recipient has agreed to receive a restaurant text alert. Diners can verbally agree to this when giving their mobile phone numbers to the restaurant for this purpose. Text messages can be used as restaurant paging systems by integrating SMS into your reservation management system using EZ Texting’s API or Zapier integration. Or simply use your EZ Texting account to send 1:1 direct messages from your account’s textable number.

Text message marketing for restaurants offers a handful of solutions, from building a marketing list with an SMS Keyword campaign to running a loyalty program for guests who sign up for restaurant text offers and alerts through a POS system. Restaurant marketing teams are also leveraging text message to send coupons, holiday menus, and BOGO promos. Meanwhile restaurant managers love SMS for streamlining ordering and contactless pickup and rely on texting for reservation reminders and “your table is ready” paging.

Using text message marketing restaurants get to reach customers in the manner that they prefer. Plus with EZ Texting restaurants can be more reachable.
