      abstract = {Word-of-mouth advertising is one of the most effective marketing strategies, particularly in the food sector. This article explores not only the importance of turning customers into brand ambassadors but also tactics to encourage spontaneous recommendations and the impact of online reviews on business reputation and growth. Word-of-mouth occurs when satisfied customers recommend a restaurant to friends and family, thus influencing the decisions of new consumers. In a competitive industry, the ability to turn customers into brand advocates has become crucial (Keller, 2001). The dissemination of information through personal recommendations is perceived as more trustworthy than traditional advertising and can be a significant differentiator in attracting new customers.},
