The Prompt
You are a senior food delivery platform strategist with 10 years of experience writing food delivery listings, menu descriptions, and digital storefront content for catering businesses and restaurant operators who are competing on delivery platforms where the listing copy is the primary tool for converting a browsing customer into a first-time order and a first-time order into a repeat customer. Help me write a food delivery listing so I can increase repeat customers and create a listing that communicates the catering quality and the personal service that makes a startup catering business worth returning to rather than switching to a larger competitor on the next order. My situation: - Catering business type and specialty: [e.g., "a startup catering and meal prep business specializing in corporate lunch boxes and individual meal prep kits — launching on Deliveroo and Uber Eats in a market where 12 established competitors are already listed"] - Delivery platform and listing format: [e.g., "Deliveroo — the listing has a 500-character business description, up to 8 menu sections, individual item names of up to 40 characters, and item descriptions of up to 150 characters"] - Current listing draft and its problem: [e.g., "the current draft lists food items with generic names like 'Chicken Salad Box' and 'Vegetarian Option' with no description — click-through rate from the platform browse page is 1.2% against a platform average of 3.8% for new businesses"] - Dietary guide content available: [e.g., "the business has a full allergen guide and a dietary accommodation system for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan — none of this is communicated in the current listing"] - Repeat customer problem: [e.g., "8 first-time customers in the first month, only 2 returned for a second order — exit surveys from the 6 who did not return showed they found the food quality excellent but the ordering experience felt impersonal and they forgot about the business within two weeks"] - Target customer and their ordering motivation: [e.g., "corporate workers aged 28 to 45 ordering lunch for themselves or a small team — they value quality and consistency over price and are willing to pay 15 to 20% more than the platform average for a product that makes them feel cared for"] - Repeat customer goal: [e.g., "want to achieve a 40% second-order rate within 90 days — the platform data shows a 40% second-order rate is the threshold for achieving algorithmic prominence in the local search results"] Deliver: 1. A food delivery listing copywriting brief — the business description (500 characters covering the catering origin story in one sentence, the specialty and dietary accommodation capability in two sentences, and the promise that makes a corporate buyer choose this listing over a competitor in one sentence), the listing name format that works for platform search and customer memory, and the hero image brief describing the ideal first photo that stops a browse scroll 2. An item naming and description framework for 8 menu items — the naming formula that combines the hero ingredient, the preparation method, and one sensory or origin detail within 40 characters, and the 150-character description formula covering the hero ingredient in context, the two taste or texture descriptors that create appetite, the dietary label for discoverability, and the occasion or use case in the final 20 characters 3. A menu section structure for the delivery platform — the eight menu section titles and the organizing logic (by meal occasion, dietary track, or product type), with the recommendation for which section to list first based on the corporate lunch buyer ordering behavior and the platform's section display format 4. A dietary accommodation communication brief — the specific language for communicating the gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan capability within the 150-character item description format without using the full allergen table, covering the label format (GF, DF, VE as prefix markers in the item name) and the one-sentence allergen capability statement in the business description 5. A repeat customer conversion pack — the three touchpoints that convert a first-time delivery customer into a repeat buyer, covering a handwritten note template included with every order (three sentences connecting the meal to the business's catering story and inviting a return visit), an email follow-up script sent 5 days after the first order (subject line, two-sentence opening, one specific dish recommendation for the next order, and a repeat order discount), and a platform review request timing recommendation 6. A listing SEO brief for the delivery platform — the three search terms a corporate lunch buyer uses most frequently on the specific platform (based on platform category structure and competitor keyword patterns), and the specific placement of each term within the business description and item names to maximize the platform search ranking without keyword stuffing 7. A new item launch brief for the listing — the copywriting process for adding a new menu item to the listing, covering the item naming test (three name options evaluated against the 40-character limit and the search discoverability criterion), the description draft process, and the hero image brief for the new item photograph 8. A 90-day listing performance review template — four platform metrics tracked monthly (browse-to-click rate, click-to-order rate, second-order rate, and average order value), with the specific listing element to test when each metric is below target and the A/B test format for testing two item description versions on the platform's menu management system **Write every listing component and repeat customer touchpoint assuming the catering business owner has no marketing background and is managing the delivery platform listing alongside the food production — every copy template must be completable in under 10 minutes per item, and every repeat customer touchpoint must be executable without a CRM or email marketing tool in the first 90 days of operation.**

💡 How to use this prompt

  • Rewrite the item names using the naming formula from output item 2 before changing any other listing element. The browse-to-click rate of 1.2% versus the 3.8% platform average is almost entirely caused by uninspiring item names — "Chicken Salad Box" does not stop a scroll, but "Chargrilled Za'atar Chicken Box — Herb Tahini" does. Improving the item names alone produces a measurable click-through improvement within two weeks without requiring any other listing changes.
  • The most common mistake is sending the repeat customer email from output item 5 on the same day as the delivery rather than 5 days later. A follow-up email sent the same day as the first order arrives during the same session as the order confirmation and is lost in the inbox. An email sent 5 days later arrives when the customer is already thinking about their next lunch order and the memory of the food quality is fresh enough to motivate a return.
  • Claude outperforms ChatGPT on this task because it follows multi-step instructions more precisely and maintains consistent tone across long outputs. Use Claude for the full draft, then paste into ChatGPT if you need a faster, shorter variation.
