The challenge

Why marketing is hard for restaurants & cafés

01

Specials change daily

Your menu moves fast, and your social feed has to keep up without someone glued to their phone during service.

02

Quiet nights hurt margins

Mid-week slumps need well-timed offers that reach locals before they make dinner plans.

03

Messages pile up

Booking, allergy and event questions arrive across several apps while the kitchen is at full tilt.

Can I post daily specials without it taking all day?

Can Sonari take reservations?

No — Sonari focuses on marketing. Messages land in the social inbox with AI-suggested replies, and the website chat can answer common questions like opening hours. Link to your booking system so guests can reserve.

Should I use paid ads?
