really wish that more restaurants would just have websites instead of announcing everything on instagram. i don’t want to be on any meta platform but that’s literally the only place that restaurants post.

@davidcelis Agree! seriously, it's so easy to create a website, and you're just talking about a few images and menus, right??

@acm_redfox well many also need a way to announce specials or pop ups, so a static website on its own wouldn’t be enough. i just wish Instagram/Meta wasn’t the platform that they all collectively decided to use

give me a newsletter, that's all I want. (one of them here does.)

@davidcelis Early in the pandemic I tried to support local restaurants with take out orders and created a bookmark folder for every restaurant with a website. A year later many of them just routed to a “URL for sale page” or worse, yet the restaurants still existed. A shame.

i have the same problem and starting to feel like missing out on several pop ups due to their only presence in instagram is… fine? i’ll just try my best to remake at home lol
or having to check either facebook or instagram just to find out if a place has weird hours around a certain holiday or weather event 😔
