Nearby alerts and local demand

Use location-aware alerts

Nearby alerts catch people who are already close enough to become a walk-in or a same-day order.

Nearby alerts and local demand | TTMenus educational guide

In 30 seconds

  • Confirm your venue address and map pin match Google and your TTMenus listing.
  • Keep hours accurate so a nearby alert never promotes a closed kitchen.
  • Pair nearby alerts with one easy offer or signature dish link.

Why this matters

Illustrated phone alert for restaurant specials
A quick visual for busy owners.Replace with a real TTMenus Alerts inbox or subscriber metrics screenshot when ready.

A diner two streets away is warmer than a cold social impression.

When I’m nearby alerts on TTMenus remind opted-in guests that you are close, open, and ready.Those alerts only help if your listing is accurate. Wrong hours or a bad pin waste the moment.

What nearby is for

  • Lunch and after-work walk-ins
  • Reminding locals about a limited special
  • Recovering guests who browsed earlier and are now in the area

Nearby is not for blasting everyone every hour. It is for timely, local relevance.

Recommendation

Hours and pin first

Nearby opens are driving Directions. Keep opening hours and the map pin exact so a nearby guest never arrives to a closed door.

The takeaway

Nearby alerts convert proximity into visits. Treat address, hours, and the live menu as part of the alert, not afterthoughts.

What to do next

  1. Confirm your venue address and map pin match Google and your TTMenus listing.
