Work That Fills Tables
Our Case
Studies
Eight real restaurant engagements — the challenges we inherited, the strategies we built, and the numbers we delivered.
The Challenge
Rosso had been open 3 years with a loyal but shrinking regular base. Invisible on Google, no social presence, entirely reliant on walk-in traffic that dried up post-pandemic. Weekend covers sat at 40% capacity.
The Goal
Fill the dining room to 85%+ capacity on Friday–Saturday within 6 months. Rebuild the brand for a younger affluent audience without alienating existing regulars.
Our Strategy
- Full brand refresh — photography, palette, and menu redesign
- Google Business optimisation + 47 new citation builds
- Meta ads targeting 28–45 date-night audience within 8mi
- Instagram series: chef's table, seasonal specials, behind-scenes
- Email list from reservation data — 1,200 subscribers in 90 days

Return on paid social spend
"
We went from worrying about covering rent to turning away reservations. They didn't just run ads — they rebuilt how people think about our restaurant.
— Marco Ferretti, Owner · Rosso Osteria
The Challenge
High tourist traffic meant feast-or-famine revenue — booming in season, dead in off-season. No loyalty system, no email list, and a website from 2018. Completely dependent on OpenTable and Yelp commissions.
The Goal
Cut the off-season revenue drop by 30%+ by building a loyal local diner base. Own the reservation pipeline directly. Drive consistent social growth without paid spend.
Our Strategy
- New website with direct booking — eliminating third-party commissions
- Loyalty email programme: locals-only offers, early seasonal menu access
- Weekly content calendar — sunset shots, catch-of-the-day, bar reels
- Local influencer dinner series: 8 creators, 180k combined reach
- Off-season "locals rate" campaign — 20% off for Miami zip codes

January used to terrify us. This year we were 80% booked every weekend through February. We finally have a business that doesn't live and die by tourist season.
— Diane Kowalski, GM · The Harbor Grill
The Challenge
New opening in a saturated NYC market. Zero brand recognition, zero online presence, and $4,000/month to compete against established institutions. 60 days before soft opening to build real anticipation.
The Goal
Sell out the first month of reservations before opening night. Establish Maison Dupont as a destination — not just another French bistro — through earned media and surgical paid spend.
Our Strategy
- Pre-launch brand: website, Instagram, and press kit built 60 days out
- "Table One" campaign — 12 exclusive preview dinners, 80-person waitlist
- Hyper-local SEO: ranking for "French bistro NYC" within 90 days
- Meta ads: $3,200 spend, targeting NYC food enthusiasts 30–55
- Press outreach: 6 features in month one including Eater NY

We opened fully booked. In New York. In month one. I don't think we fully understood what we were getting into — in the best way possible.
— Julien Dupont, Chef-Owner · Maison Dupont
The Challenge
Ember & Rye had strong revenue but from a narrow demographic — corporate expense accounts and special occasions only. They needed to diversify their customer base to reduce vulnerability during economic slowdowns.
The Goal
Broaden the audience to include high-income date-night and social diners aged 28–45. Build recurring revenue through private dining events. Reduce reliance on any single revenue channel.
Our Strategy
- Repositioned brand voice and visual language for a broader affluent audience
- Private dining programme launch — promoted via LinkedIn and Meta
- Monthly "Butcher's Cut" email series: cuts, wine pairings, chef notes
- Google Ads for high-intent terms: "steakhouse Dallas", "private dining"
- UGC strategy: incentivised guest photography programme

"
Our private dining room used to sit empty three nights a week. Now it's booked 6 weeks out. That alone has changed the entire financial picture of this restaurant.
— Trevor Lowe, Owner · Ember & Rye
The Challenge
A world-class omakase experience hidden behind an outdated brand and unnavigable website. Reservations were hard to find, the aesthetic didn't reflect the cuisine's quality, and social content was near-absent.
The Goal
Establish Sakura House as the premier omakase destination in LA. Redesign the digital presence to match the calibre of the experience. Build a waitlist culture that drives desire and exclusivity.
Our Strategy
- Complete brand identity redesign — logo, typography, photography direction
- New website with waitlist-first reservation flow — no walk-ins listed
- Social: slow, cinematic content — one post per week, high production value
- Partnered with 3 LA food journalists for editorial features
- Chef profile campaign on Instagram — building personal brand around head chef

The brand finally looks like what we serve. People come in having already decided this is a special evening — that shift in expectation changed everything about how guests experience the meal.
— Chef Hiro Nakamura · Sakura House
The Challenge
Café Colette had strong weekend brunch demand but near-empty dining room Monday–Thursday. Revenue was unpredictable and the team was burning out from weekend rushes while losing money on slow weekdays.
The Goal
Increase weekday covers by 40%+ within 6 months without diluting the weekend experience. Build a community of repeat regulars who visit on slow days.
Our Strategy
- Weekday offer: "Le Mardi Spécial" — rotating Tuesday prix fixe at $38
- Local SEO push targeting "weekday brunch Brooklyn" and adjacent terms
- Weekly email dispatch to 2,100 subscribers with day-specific features
- Reels series: "a Tuesday at Colette" — calm, aesthetic, aspirational
- Google Business posts updated 3x/week featuring weekday specials

Answers to the things restaurant owners ask us most before getting started.
Still have questions?
We'd rather talk it through. Book a free 20-minute call and we'll answer anything.
Yes — exclusively. Every client we work with is in the food and beverage space. That's not a limitation, it's the point. It means every strategy, every ad template, and every piece of copy we produce has been tested and refined specifically for restaurants.
We guarantee live campaigns within 7 days of signing. Our onboarding is built for the pace of a restaurant — not the pace of a corporate agency. Strategy, creatives, and targeting can all be ready before your next weekend service.
Our listed prices are starting points for each individual service. Most clients run 2–4 services together as a bundled monthly engagement — scoped and priced after a conversation. No setup fees, no percentage of ad spend, no hidden charges.
Never. Everything is month-to-month by design. We think agencies should earn your business every single month — not lock you into a contract and coast. You can cancel anytime with no penalty, no notice period beyond the current billing month.
One dedicated account manager who knows your restaurant. Not a shared inbox, not a rotating team — the same person, every time, who understands your goals, your busy periods, and your regulars. Reachable same-day, not through a ticketing system.
Ad spend is held directly in your own accounts — you always have full visibility and control. We manage strategy and optimisation; you own the accounts and the data. We don't take a percentage of your spend.
We report on revenue impact — covers driven, reservation conversions, return on ad spend, and email revenue. Not impressions, not follower counts. You get a monthly dashboard showing exactly what's working and what's contributing to your bottom line.
Some of our best results have come from small independents with tight budgets. We scope every engagement to fit what you actually have to work with — not what we'd ideally want to bill. Book a call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it work for your situation.
