How to Market Your Restaurant During LA Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week is one of the highest-traffic periods for dining discovery in Los Angeles — but only for restaurants that market themselves effectively during it.

Steps to make the most of it:

  1. Post your special menu early and often. Diners plan their Restaurant Week choices in advance — visibility a week or two before the event matters as much as during it.
  2. Use Reels to showcase your specific Restaurant Week dishes. Since diners are comparing multiple restaurants, standout visual content directly influences their decision.
  3. Encourage reviews immediately after service. Restaurant Week brings in a wave of new customers — capturing their reviews while the experience is fresh maximizes long-term SEO benefit.
  4. Use location tags and relevant local hashtags. Restaurant Week generates a spike in local searches, and appearing in that search traffic depends on consistent tagging.

Restaurants that treat Restaurant Week as a full marketing moment not just a menu change tend to convert far more first-time diners into repeat customers afterward.
