The Challenge

On Swiggy and Zomato, every biryani looks alike in a list. Zar-e-Biryani needed people in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad to know its Lucknowi and Hyderabadi biryanis by name, then order them or come to the outlet.

What We Did

  • 1. A content plan - Biryani-first posts and reels, every caption pointing to Swiggy, Zomato or a direct phone order.
  • 2. Offers people could act on - 15% off dine-in and takeaway, and gift vouchers at the Gandhinagar outlet.
  • 3. Festive campaigns - Diwali, Gujarati New Year and Christmas creatives.
  • 4. Menu design - A redesigned menu in 2025.

Results

  • • 119,000 accounts reached in 90 days
  • • 931 accounts engaged
  • • 120 more new followers than the 90 days before
  • • A three-year working relationship, 2022 to 2025

How We Measured

Reach, engagement and follower figures come from the restaurant's Instagram Insights for 3 May – 31 July 2022, saved in our records at the time. Reach measures awareness, not orders; Swiggy and Zomato order data was not part of this report.
