Bonus tips:
Method #2 - For Restaurants
You can make a great side business with this method by contacting restaurants in your area (or any city) and offer to set up this for them. If you connect this to a messenger, you can charge a monthly fee

Method #2 - For Restaurants

Facebook ads for micro-targeting:
