Methodology:
The relevant hashtag (either the restaurant name if “unique”, or add city to restaurant name, or find the restaurant’s own social page to see what hashtag they use) was searched on both TikTok and Instagram – the total number of posts was collected. The number of posts on both platforms were combined to get an overall social media posts total.
