How We Got 1112% ROI for a Restaurant With Just Rs. 1.65 Lakhs in Ad Spend

We didn’t go viral.
We didn’t run influencer campaigns.
We didn’t throw lakhs into boosting posts.

Instead — we did one thing right:
We gave people an offer they couldn’t say no to.

Let’s break down how WoM-Marketing helped Oldtown Food hit over Rs. 52 Lakhs+ Monthly run-rate with just Rs. 1.65 lakhs in ads.


Campaign Overview:

  • Messaging Conversations Started: 2,579
  • Average Cost Per Message: $0.48 (~NPR 65)
  • Total Ad Spend: $1,239.50 (~Rs. 1,65,000)

This generated:

  • Rs. 10.35 lakhs + in direct home delivery sales
  • Estimated Rs. 52+ lakhs/month from increased foot traffic
  • ROI: 1112%

And here’s the best part:
This was done using simple, consistent offer ads.

Offers That Sold Themselves

We didn’t confuse people with too many call-to-actions.
Every creative had just one strong offer, backed by bold visuals and clear pricing.

Best Performing Creative Highlights:

DayOfferPrice
MondayBuy 2 Matka Biryani (Chicken/Veg/etc.)Rs. 999
Tuesday2 Large Pizzas (Veg/Non-Veg)Rs. 999
Wednesday9pcs Chicken TandooriRs. 999
EverydayCombos (Momo + Biryani + Keema Noodles)Rs. 950–1350 + Free Pastry

These were used in:
✓ Static Ads
✓ Messaging Campaigns
✓ Remarketing Posts

Result?
People ordered. Then re-ordered. Then told their friends.


What We Did Differently

1. We Focused on “Messaging” — Not Traffic

We didn’t push people to a menu page.
We ran Click-to-Message ads directly into Messenger.

👉🏼 More conversations = More conversions
👉🏼 2,579 total chats = High intent users ready to order


2. Speed to Respond = Speed to Convert

Leads were followed up via Messenger within 2–5 minutes.
In the food industry, delay = dead lead.

We combined:

  • Auto-replies
  • Live agent handover
  • Pre-built offer scripts

Fast action = fast orders.


3. Menu Personalization Boosted Conversions

We didn’t run random item ads.
We personalized the offer + copy based on:

  • Day of the week
  • Time of day (Lunch vs Dinner)
  • Delivery area (only Bhaktapur)

This created micro-moments of buying intent.


Impact & Estimation

Delivery Sales:

  • AOV: ~$15
  • 646 conversions
  • Total sales: ~$7,737

Foot Traffic Sales (Estimated):

  • 50 new customers/day
  • AOV: ~$30
  • Monthly sales: ~$52,737

👉🏼 Grand Total Impact: Rs. 52,00,000+
👉🏼 Total Spend: Rs. 1,65,000

ROI = 1112%


Industry Context (Why This Worked in Nepal)

  • Digital ad market in Nepal is growing at 15%+ YoY
  • 80%+ of customers check online before ordering food
  • Avg. Cost per Click in food niche: Rs. 7–12
  • Food delivery and quick commerce are the fastest-growing segments post-COVID in Nepal

Yet most restaurants:

  • Still run boosted posts
  • Don’t use lead funnels
  • And never retarget

This campaign stood out — because it was built to convert.


Key Takeaways for Restaurants:

If you’re a food business in Nepal, here’s what you should focus on:

✔️ Run real offers, not just item shots
✔️ Prioritize Messenger & Instagram ads
✔️ Build urgency with day-specific campaigns
✔️ Follow up instantly
✔️ Track everything
