@Dasha Wright great question. So for the most part, I believe restaurant emails go overlooked unless they’re inquiring about a private event since social media managers and the Creative staff don’t tend to manage the general email address. Even people looking to get hired as wait staff, chef, bartender don’t typically hear back from email. Some things I find are helpful are to engage with the comment section under posts from that restaurant.. for example you can comment on an image or video that was taken there and make suggestions on what would be really great for them to do next time or adding your expertise in a form of a comment that brings value to that place without asking for anything in return. Any opportunity to offer value upfront creatively or with constructive feedback is appreciated.
