Flozari helps restaurants share menus, hours, directions, reservation paths, and private-event information when diners engage on social.

Meet people at the moment of interest

Give every restaurants inquiry a useful first response

Someone sees your Instagram post and comments, “Do you have vegetarian options?” — Flozari can recognize MENU or another trigger you choose and respond while their interest is still fresh.

The conversation moves into DM, where you can share the relevant resource, ask for useful context, and make the next step clear without repeating the same answer manually.

From Instagram comment to organized planning conversation

Four connected stages help restaurants respond, guide, organize, and follow up without making the customer journey feel complicated.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Recognize “MENU” and other high-intent restaurants comments.

  2. 02

    Converse

    Send menus, hours, and location and answer the next question in DM.

  3. 03

    Organize

  4. 04

    Qualify private dining and event inquiries and learn which entry points create intent.

The first-DM blueprint

Help first. Qualify second.

A strong first DM should continue the promise made in the post. Give the person a useful answer first, then gather only the context needed to recommend the right next step.

  1. 01

    Acknowledge the exact request

    Connect the reply to “Do you have vegetarian options?” so the message feels like a natural continuation of the post.

  2. 02

    Give immediate value

    Yes. Here is the current menu with vegetarian items marked, plus the reservation link. Deliver the promised information before asking the person to do more.

  3. 03

    Ask one useful question

    Start with the detail that changes the recommendation most: their date, location, preferences, group size, or planning goal.

  4. 04

    Set the next expectation

    Explain how the conversation can continue toward the right guide, reservation, itinerary, consultation, or booking.

The manual approach

  • Check posts and comments whenever someone has time
  • Type the same restaurants answers and links repeatedly
  • Move manually between comments, DMs, forms, and saved resources

  • Risk losing interested people before a clear next step is shared

The organized approach

  • Recognize “MENU” and other relevant comments automatically
  • Send menus, hours, and location
  • Guide diners toward reservations
  • Qualify private dining and event inquiries
  • Keep each planning conversation organized for timely human follow-up

Frequently asked questions

Instagram automation for restaurants

How can Restaurants use Instagram DM automation?

Flozari can recognize relevant comments, send a useful private response, share the right resource, collect basic context, and organize the conversation for the right guide, reservation, itinerary, consultation, or booking.

Can Flozari respond when someone comments “MENU”?

Yes. You can use “MENU” or another campaign-specific keyword as a trigger, then send a public acknowledgement and continue the useful part of the conversation in DM.

What should the first DM for Restaurants include?

Start with the information promised in the post. For this use case, that could mean: send menus, hours, and location; guide diners toward reservations; qualify private dining and event inquiries. Keep the first message focused and make one next action obvious.

Can Flozari collect contact details and qualify interest?

Yes. After providing value, the flow can request an email address and ask a concise question about their date, location, preferences, group size, or planning goal. The conversation can then be tagged for follow-up.

Will automation make the restaurants experience feel impersonal?

It does not have to. Use automation for the predictable first response and repeated information, then let a person step in when the conversation needs judgment, reassurance, or a tailored recommendation.

Can Flozari work with the tools I already use?

Flozari can guide people toward your existing links and next-step systems, while integrations can help connect lead details to the rest of your workflow. The goal is to improve the Instagram entry point, not force every step into one inbox.
