Zack Oates sits down with Steven Droulis, owner of Resto Vivaldi in Montreal, to explore how a family restaurant built an enormous online following while staying authentic to its roots. With hundreds of videos and hundreds of millions of views across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, Steven shares how consistency, authenticity, and educational content helped his restaurant break through on social media.

They discuss how content creation impacts restaurant traffic, why teaching viewers through recipes creates stronger engagement, and how operators can build trust both online and in the dining room. Steven also explains how value, consistency, and friendly service remain the foundation of a great guest experience.

Zack and Steven discuss:

  •  How authentic content drives massive social media growth
  •  Why teaching through food videos builds loyal audiences
  •  The impact of social media on restaurant traffic
  •  Why classic dishes outperform overly complicated food
  •  How value, consistency, and friendly service shape the guest experience

Thanks, Steven!
