'Ek plate, teen log — enough?' portion test; 'Melody ka purana stall' owner interview; 'Rush hour' crowd time-lapse with the order counter in frame.
TikTok marketing
We put Melody Food Park's stalls and G-6's fast-food outlets on TikTok: the griddle, the queue, the menu board and an owner who has run the same stall for years. Short, loud, honest videos filmed in the evening rush, captioned in Urdu, and aimed at people deciding where to eat tonight.
On the Starter package, PKR 15,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Food content is TikTok's home ground in Pakistan, and Melody's open-air stalls are made for it: flames, crowds, cheap plates, a bit of chaos. People across Islamabad and Rawalpindi who want cheap evening food watch these clips and drive over. Yet many Melody stall owners leave it to passing food bloggers and never post themselves. A stall posting its own clips builds a following that does not depend on one creator's visit, and can announce a new dish or a late opening the same evening.

A caption
'Melody Food Park, G-6 — look for our board. Chicken karahi tonight till late. Bring friends; ask any rickshaw driver for Melody.'
Yes. Open-air cooking, crowds and cheap plates are exactly what Pakistani food TikTok rewards, and Melody has all three. A stall posting several honest clips a week, with dish names and price bands in the captions, builds a following that brings people from across Islamabad and Rawalpindi on purpose.
Sometimes. A well-chosen Islamabad food creator can bring a burst of visitors, but the effect fades quickly. Posting your own content steadily costs less over a year and keeps working between collaborations. We usually suggest your own account first, then occasional paid visits once there is a profile to send viewers back to.
Pitfalls
The area
The oldest sector in the city and still the most working-class. Aabpara Market sells everything from hardware to second-hand books, Melody Food Park pulls the evening crowd, and old government quarters keep the population mixed. It is loud, cheap and busy in a way the F sectors never are.

These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usSomeone on your staff with a phone, for five minutes during the rush, following our shot list. They send clips on WhatsApp after closing, and we edit and post the next day. A monthly visit from us covers the bigger shoots.
Mostly Urdu and Roman Urdu, because that is how Melody's customers talk and search. Dish names stay as people say them. English captions are added where they help reach students and the occasional foreign visitor.
