Fix these first
Put your opening days and hours in the bio of every profile, and change them the same morning whenever the weather or a holiday does, so nobody walks over to a closed door.
Tag the shop on every post and story, because people choosing where to walk tap the map pin before they decide.
Swap stock pictures for real photos of your own counter taken in daylight, with a cone, a sorbet and a sundae in each set.
