Building a restaurant will humble you real fast 😭🔥

What was supposed to take “a few months” somehow turned into 2.5 years.

love is basically arguing over one strand of spaghetti 😭🍝

Healthy relationship = your partner randomly starting side quests for your health 😭

Restaurants are basically competing to become movie sets now 😭

Every food challenge starts with confidence and ends with regret 😭

Lunch specials used to be sandwiches and fries.

Now it’s unlimited Wagyu 😭

[David Zhao @DavidZhaoTweet]

Wagyu hitting the grill should honestly count as ASMR at this point 😭

If a NYC lunch special doesn’t make me question how they’re making money, I don’t want it 😭

Gym culture is basically:
50% lifting
50% pretending you’re in a Nicki Minaj edit

[David Zhao @DavidZhaoTweet]

You know your restaurant is growing when the internet starts making conspiracy theories about your Wagyu 😭

Vegas restaurants are competing on EXPERIENCE now, not just food.

The best compliment for a restaurant is when customers turn into unpaid food critics 😭

The future of loyalty programs isn’t discounts.

It’s making customers feel involved.

[David Zhao @DavidZhaoTweet]

The best restaurant marketing?

Make people feel FOMO before opening day.

[David Zhao @DavidZhaoTweet]

The best food spots are the ones where time disappears.

[David Zhao @DavidZhaoTweet]

Some restaurant openings feel normal.

This one already feels like a future waitlist.

[David Zhao @DavidZhaoTweet]

The best marketing strategy?

Make your customers feel like insiders.
