Onboarding to Text Message Marketing via the Merchant Portal

The Text Message Marketing feature allows restaurant owners and managers to quickly and easily send marketing SMS campaigns to their customer base. Merchants can schedule announcements, promote offers, or instantly notify customers of important updates. Whether it’s a last-minute special, a seasonal promotion, or an event reminder, campaigns can be sent ASAP or scheduled ahead of time with full control.

Info
Use Case:
A neighborhood diner is planning a weekend brunch special. To boost turnout, the manager creates a scheduled SMS campaign mid-week that sends out a reminder Saturday morning to all loyalty program members, promoting the special menu and encouraging early reservations.
