Food, beverage & venues
Marketing for restaurants & hospitality
A local, visual, occasion-driven choice made on a phone. Appetite creates the want, the map pack and reviews decide the table, loyalty makes the margin.
Start with the buyer, not the account
Where to eat is decided fast, locally, and with the eyes — a mouth-watering plate in the feed or a map search on the way out the door. The venue that shows up appetizing in the pack and the feed wins the table; the one that captures the guest and brings them back wins the margin. Acquisition only works when it's priced against repeat visits.

Where the margin lives
Two surfaces, one guest
- Discovery — paid social and the map pack, where a hungry local decides where to go tonight.
- Loyalty — email, SMS, and reviews that turn a first visit into a regular, which is where hospitality margins actually are.
What this means tactically
- Appetite is the hook — real food and atmosphere beat a logo and a menu link every time.
- Local and now — tight radius, dayparted to bookable hours; nobody drives an hour on a Tuesday.
- The regular pays the bill — spend is priced against repeat visits, not the first cover.
