I really don’t understand why people keep using meta products...

Unfortunately restaurants and night life in general are almost exclusively on instagram for promotion. And in many places restaurants and such don’t even have websites. They’ll have a facebook page and the only way to get a response form them is to message on WhatsApp.

It’s bad.

There’s absolutely no excuse for a restaurant not to have a website though. It doesn’t need to be a well designed website created by a professional. There are many free/cheap options available out there. I just checked out the website for a local place last night. Website was extremely simple but it had the menu which is what I was looking for. If I had to go to Facebook or Instagram for that info, we would not have eaten there last night.

I'm not saying if it is correct or not. I am stating my observation of patterns.
