Menu / SKU launch marketing for Dubai restaurants & cafes
campaignMenu / SKU launch
Menu / SKU launch pushes are where Dubai outlets either look organized or invisible: the market moves occasion to occasion — Ramadan to National Day to the food festivals — and feeds that plan the moment win the week. This page is the standing playbook.
What to shoot
- One hero reel that owns the moment — your product styled to the occasion, 15 seconds.
- Two or three stills in the same aesthetic, sized per platform, posted across the window.
- A Google Business post with the practical line: dates, hours, how to book.
- The day-of story: the room live, the special moving, the reason to come now.
The Dubai numbers
70-82% of diners in the UAE said in a 2025 survey that they use social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat to discover restaurants, compare menus, and confirm choices before booking a reservation.
