Streamlined SEO and menu management
By partnering with Popmenu, Kelly Companies created a website inherently optimized for search engines like Google. A standout feature is the mobile-friendly dynamic menu, which showcases dish details and photos while allowing customers to leave reviews and "like" their favorite dishes. Each of these interactions is considered an update by Google, prompting the search engine to continuously crawl the page. This constant stream of updates boosts the site's visibility, positioning it higher in search results and driving more organic traffic.
In the first year with the new websites, this increased visibility brought Kelly Companies over 1,500,000 visitors across eight concepts. Plus, seamlessly integrating automatic updates has saved the team countless hours of manual time that they could then devote to more important tasks.
Beyond enhancing website performance, Kelly Companies uses their dynamic menus to apply updates instantly across all restaurant locations. Whether tweaking the price of an item, adding a dish, or adjusting a description, changes are immediately reflected on each location’s menu, ensuring accurate information for guests. Furthermore, Popmenu's integration with OpenTable extends this efficiency by automatically updating the restaurant's reservation listings with the latest menu details—effortlessly syncing menus across platforms.
"Most of our stores are on OpenTable, so my entire day used to be updating menus for 4 or 5 stores because there are so many things you have to change. Being able to go into Popmenu, update the menu, then go into OpenTable and make sure everything moved over correctly is huge, especially for one person managing it all."

Maximizing brand exposure with integrated marketing tools
The hospitality group leverages Popmenu’s suite of marketing tools to keep their brands in front of customers. Whether it’s an online ordering discount sent via text or an email sent automatically to customers who haven’t visited in the last month, Kelly Companies can easily and consistently reach audiences on every channel. What's more, generating quality content is made easier with Popmenu's AI social post tool, which automatically recommends content using original assets that are available on the concepts’ websites, such as recently added menu items, popular dishes, and recent reviews.
“My social media manager loves the AI social posting tool. It’s a lot of work to come up with content for eight different concepts every day. So, having this tool—which serves up suggested posts and only takes a few clicks—has made their life easier!”
