From mid-day, when the hunger sets in and it’s time to look for a place to lunch, searching the #FoodFriday hashtag will lead to food trucks or market stalls and images of users sharing delicious meals. Plus restaurants will be sharing what’s on the menu by tweeting.

This afternoon, restaurants and chefs taking part will treat followers to useful tips, sneaky tricks and special last-minute offers.

Here are a few ideas of how chefs, restaurants, markets and street stalls will make the most of #FoodFriday on Twitter, Vine and Periscope :

• Offer deals and menus on Twitter with pictures of the day’s best plate of food
• Share tips and recipes using 30-second Twitter mobile videos or 6-second Vines
• Tweet out quotes direct from the chefs themselves, giving insight of what it’s like to cook for a restaurant or a food truck
• Organize a special Q&A session with the chef, staff or restaurant manager on Twitter
