How does Facebook decide who sees a post?
The main feed is now mostly recommended Reels and video, the same as everywhere else — but in Pakistan the intent still lives in Groups and Marketplace, and those run on their own rules. Comments and shares count for far more than reactions, and a post that starts a real argument in the comments travels furthest. Paid reach is genuinely cheap here, and the blue Boost button wastes money: a proper campaign built in Ads Manager costs a fraction per enquiry.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

Should desi and BBQ restaurants be anywhere else?
Facebook first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | #2 | 4 videos per week | Charcoal, sizzle and a karahi being finished are made for TikTok, and twin-city food channels go shopping for subjects there. |
| #3 | 3 reels per week plus stories | Reels reach the Islamabad side and the visitors hunting for a dinner stop before Murree. | |
| WhatsApp Channels | #4 | 2 broadcasts per week | Degh and hall customers come back roughly once a year, so a channel keeps your number in their phone until they need it. |
