Digital Growth Checklist
About This Resource
This comprehensive 30-day checklist has been refined over years of working with restaurants at every stage of digital maturity. Each week focuses on a specific growth lever — starting with foundational Google Business optimization in Week 1, building out your social media presence in Week 2, establishing email marketing in Week 3, and tying it all together with analytics and optimization in Week 4. Every action item includes clear instructions, estimated time, and expected impact so you know exactly what to do and why.
