Julio’s toy town: cafés, a pub and tables by the river
Food and drink

The marketing team for cafés

Most of your customers walk in, but first they check your hours, menu and photos on their phone. Julio gives you a better website, keeps Google and Instagram fresh, and replies to afternoon tea bookings and cake orders while you’re on the coffee machine.

Sound familiar?

What gets in the way

  • Afternoon tea bookings and cake orders come by DM, phone and email, and one slips through.

  • Wrong hours on Google send people to a locked door, and a bad review follows.

  • Rainy afternoons and the January lull, when the walk-ins stop.

How it works

Your website, marketing and receptionist, in one.

  1. 01 · Website

    A new website, built and live in 48 hours

    Julio reads your site, reviews and Google profile, then puts your hours, menu and location up top, with afternoon tea and cake order pages. Need a change? Text it, like “closing at 3 on Sunday”, and site and Google both update.

  2. 02 · Marketing

    Found on Google, AI search and Instagram

    Each week Julio writes a page for what people nearby search, like afternoon tea or a dog-friendly café, and keeps your Google hours right. It turns the morning bake into posts, and you approve each one with a tap.

    How people look for you

    Every call and enquiry answered

    When someone calls or messages about afternoon tea or a cake, Julio replies in seconds, takes the date, numbers and collection time, and sends allergy questions to your team. Then it texts you who it was and what they ordered.

    Replies to every enquiry: on Julio. Calls, messages and bookings: on Julio + Receptionist.

    JulioExample

    Can I book afternoon tea for 6 on Saturday? One is vegan.

    JulioWe have 2pm or 3:30pm on Saturday for six, and I’ve noted one vegan stand. It’s £24.50 each, with a £20 deposit to hold the table. Which time suits?

    Is my birthday cake still OK to collect tomorrow?

    JulioYes, it’s ready from 10am. It contains wheat, eggs and milk, as listed when you ordered. Any allergy questions, our team will go through them when you collect.

Questions

Questions cafés ask

My grab-and-go sandwiches: what labels do they need?

Food you pack on site before it’s ordered needs a full ingredient list with allergens emphasised (Natasha’s Law). Julio can put the same information on your site, but the labels on the food are yours.

Can Julio take cake orders online?

Yes. Customers see your allergen information before they order and again when they collect, as the law requires for food sold at a distance. Any allergy question comes to you.

Can Julio keep my Google hours right?

Yes. Text Julio your holiday or winter hours and it updates your site and Google profile together.

Do I have to show my hygiene rating online?

Not by law. In Wales and Northern Ireland it must be on your door; in England it’s voluntary. Julio can show it on your site if you’d like.

Can Julio get more people in on quiet days?

Julio promotes your quiet times on your site, Google and Instagram each week. It can’t promise footfall, but people looking nearby will see you.

The rules Julio follows for cafés

  • Allergen information before a cake or online order and again at collection, with questions sent to staff (FSA)
  • Food packed before it’s ordered carries full ingredients, allergens emphasised (Natasha’s Law)
  • “Gluten-free”, “vegan” and “homemade” only when true (CAP Code)
