What was the goal?

Ramen Bar Venezuela, originally a beloved food truck and now a vibrant restaurant in El Hatillo, was aiming to enhance its digital presence and attract a broader audience. Despite its success, the restaurant faced challenges in adapting to the rapidly evolving online food sector. It needed to better leverage digital marketing and online tools to promote its unique fusion of Japanese, Venezuelan, and Chinese flavors and to stand out in a competitive market.
