Dinings

Dinings SW3, an elegant Japanese izakaya-style restaurant in the heart of Marylebone, is known for its refined fusion of Japanese and European flavours, artistry on the plate, and an intimate dining experience. With a strong reputation in the local dining scene, Dinings SW3 approached Byter with a specific challenge:
👉 Grow their digital presence and bring in more customers organically, without relying on paid advertising.

Byter partnered with the Dinings team to build a cohesive and elegant social media content strategy, paired with high-quality content creation and platform management to naturally drive footfall and build long-term brand equity.

The Challenge

Despite an outstanding product and loyal local clientele, Dinings faced:

• Inconsistent social media output

• A need to refresh their digital image and showcase the evolving menu

• Low engagement due to limited content variation

• No advertising budget, meaning all reach and traffic had to be earned organically

Byter’s Approach

1. Content Strategy

We developed a bespoke social media plan rooted in the brand’s DNA: elegant, modern, and deeply respectful of Japanese craftsmanship.

Our strategy focused on:

• Visual storytelling through curated imagery

• Balanced content pillars: dishes, team, interiors, seasonal menus, and customer experiences

• Consistent posting schedule tailored to optimal engagement windows

• Hashtag optimisation and geotagging to improve discovery by local and travelling foodies

2. Content Creation

Byter’s in-house content team produced regular shoots to capture:

• Minimalist dish photography with a strong visual identity

• Behind-the-scenes kitchen action that highlighted the craftsmanship of the chefs

• Short-form Reels to showcase seasonal specials, preparation rituals, and ambience

• UGC-style content to humanise the brand and increase relatability

Every asset was created to reflect the quiet confidence of Dinings – no gimmicks, no trends, just beautifully composed, authentic content.
