OUR EXPERTISE
Digital Marketing / Social Media
If you are paying a “social media” person or company to manage your social media, chances are you need to fire them. We own and invest in restaurants and we specialize in restaurants. We get results using a proven digital marketing system that has worked for all types of restaurants, all over the country, The Restaurant Marketing Method ™.
Restaurant Website Design, Local SEO & Reputation Management
Your Website should be visually impressive and entice customers to visit you. And it should show up top in search and in all directories. And yes, all restaurants hate Yelp and other review sites. You still have to play the game, respond and move the pendulum in your favor by being smart with how you handle them. Trip Advisor, Google, Facebook and other review sites matter too.
Email & Mobile Marketing
Oh yes…email is alive and well and when used correctly can bring new and repeat customers into your restaurant every month on demand. We’ll show you how to build a huge list of loyal followers and then how to gently market to them. And, are you reaching your customers in their pocket with mobile marketing?
Restaurant Marketing Strategy
We’re amazed, daily, with how many restaurants are started or operated without a documented marketing plan and strategy for getting new and repeat customers each month into their restaurant. We change all that, and set you up for success you can bank on using our Restaurant Marketing Method ™ formula.
About
If you are looking for someone to just keep your social media sites updated and managed, then you are on the wrong website. Our marketing services and coaching programs are for restaurant owners who demand results - a real ROI that can be tracked.
We are restaurant owners ourselves - so we know restaurants. We know what owners are going through, we know how little is available to put towards marketing. We also know that traditional marketing methods that used to work well for restaurants, don't work well any longer.
Most importantly, we know how to make digital marketing work for every kind of restaurant, no more smoke and mirrors. We aren't the cheapest, but we are the BEST and we deliver a ROI when others are scratching their head.
