Guest Post Submission Guidelines

The TapTasty blog is designed for anyone interested in the restaurant industry. It focuses on restaurant owners who want to turn their restaurants into success stories

We write about online ordering software, POS systems, digital marketing, and other restaurant technologies, and we aim to provide valuable insights into all aspects of restaurant management. Check this page to learn more about TapTasty.

Please read the entire guide carefully. If you want to write for us, you must understand our expectations.

Here are the key points. We will only take you seriously if you take them seriously. It may sound harsh, but we want you to understand how seriously we approach this.

Content Standards

• Ensure Readability: Use short paragraphs to make your content easy to read. Keep a mobile-first approach in mind and incorporate various media such as diagrams, charts, tables, and infographics to enhance understanding.
• Determine Word Count by Quality: Aim for 1,500-2,000 words, depending on the topic. Longer guides or in-depth content may exceed this range, but avoid adding unnecessary content to increase length for the sake of it.
• Understand Blog Audience: Your primary readers are restaurant owners and managers, though our insights can also benefit restaurant staff and patrons. Given the demanding nature of the restaurant industry, ensure your content is practical and straightforward. Avoid complex language and focus on delivering content that is easy to grasp while still providing thorough analysis.
• Base Your Writing on Experience or Research: Ideally, you should write from your experience or conduct thorough research. Support your arguments with accurate facts, references, and current data. Ensure that your sources are from 2020 or later. Present your conclusions, metaphors, and examples in your unique style.
• Focus on Quality Content: Readers seek well-researched, educational, and engaging articles that provide real value—not promotional material. Incorporate recent studies, data, and statistics and offer practical insights. Avoid recycled ideas and generic content.
• Image Requirements: Submit images with a minimum width of 1240px. Avoid using stock photos.
• Craft Compelling Titles: Ensure your article includes a summary, introduction, body, and a brief conclusion with key takeaways. Craft titles and headlines that grab attention and are relevant to the content.
• Review Existing Material: Visit www.taptasty.com/blog/ to get acquainted with the TapTasty blog and its topics. You can either approach existing content from a different angle or write on related topics.
• Prioritize Human Readers Over SEO: While SEO is important and we will make necessary adjustments for better ranking, focus on writing for people first.
• Ensure Originality: Create original content and always cite your sources. As mentioned before, we use tools to check for plagiarism.
