Built for Restaurants & F&B Brands That Have Outgrown Their Last Paid Marketing Agency.
Most restaurants here waste $4,500 monthly on ads that don't convert. We reverse that with precision paid marketing that drives actual reservations and delivery orders.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Austin restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Your Austin restaurant's ads aren't filling seats.
Austin's 58,000 SMBs compete fiercely for attention, but 73% of restaurant searches happen on platforms you don't control—Yelp, TripAdvisor, Google Maps. Most restaurant owners here spend on broad social campaigns with zero email retention strategy, meaning every customer acquired is a one-time win. Delivery and catering searches remain almost invisible in your paid mix, yet represent 31% of revenue opportunity for Austin's F&B sector.
The 3 places Austin restaurants & f&b brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 restaurants & f&b brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Their Google Ads were losing to competitors on 'delivery Austin' keywords. Their social ads drove 12,000 clicks/mo but only 160 actual reservations (1.3% conversion). They had zero email strategy and no way to track which ads led to revenue.
Rebuilt Google Search campaigns with 47 high-intent keywords (delivery, catering, private dining modifiers). Raised bids on proven converters; cut waste on generic terms.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 90 days, your paid ads deliver 3–5x more reservations per dollar spent. You'll have a owned email list of 500–2,000 customers, repeat-visit rates climb 35–40%, and delivery orders are no longer hidden in Yelp—they're trackable and profitable.
Audit & Positioning
We analyse your current ad spend, landing pages, and Google Local profile. We identify where your competitors (The Domain and East 6th Street restaurants) are winning, and map your high-intent keywords—'delivery Austin', 'private dining', 'catering near me'.
Build Conversion Funnels
We create mobile-first landing pages optimised for reservations and delivery orders. We set up email capture flows (lead magnets tied to your menu or loyalty program) so every ad click becomes a potential repeat customer.
Launch & Layer Channels
We start with Google Search (high-intent reservations and delivery queries) and layer in Facebook/Instagram dynamic ads for retargeting. We build audience segments around menu categories (brunch, catering, late-night) so every dollar speaks to the right person.
Optimise for Email Retention
We connect your CRM (or build one) to track reservations back to ads. We set up automated email campaigns—post-visit follow-ups, repeat offers, catering upsells—that turn one-time diners into regulars.
Measure & Refine
We deliver a weekly dashboard showing cost per reservation, email engagement, and revenue attribution by channel. We adjust bids, creative, and messaging based on what's actually driving seats and catering bookings.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“We were spending $45K/month on Google Ads with a 1.8x ROAS. Within 90 days, same budget, 3.4x. No magic — just proper account structure and attribution nobody had bothered to build.”

“They rebuilt our entire campaign architecture from scratch. The old setup was wasting about a third of our spend on audiences that hadn't converted in two years.”

“Finally, an agency that talks about margin, not clicks. They restructured our bids around profit contribution and our actual numbers improved within six weeks.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much should my Austin restaurant spend on paid ads to see results?
Most restaurants in Austin see meaningful traction at $2,500–$4,500/mo. Smaller, independent restaurants start at $1,500/mo with Google Search alone; multi-unit operators typically invest $6,000–$15,000/mo across search, social, and email. What matters isn't the budget—it's whether every dollar is attributed to actual revenue. We'll audit your current spend and show you exactly what you should allocate.
My restaurant is already on Yelp and Google Maps. Why do I need paid ads?
Yelp and Maps show you where people are searching, but they don't guarantee visibility or control your narrative. Paid ads let you target high-intent searches ('delivery Austin', 'catering near The Domain') that don't show up in organic results. You also own the landing page, email capture, and customer data—not Yelp. Paid ads are the fastest way to gain visibility while you build organic authority.
Can you really guarantee a 3–5x return on ad spend?
We don't guarantee results—no ethical agency does. What we guarantee is process: full attribution tracking, weekly optimisation, and transparent reporting. Our 23-client track record shows 60–75% reductions in cost per reservation and 3–5x average ROAS within 6 months. Individual results vary by restaurant, market position, and starting point, but we commit to showing you exactly what's working (and what isn't) every week.
What if my restaurant is super small or just opening?
Perfect timing. New restaurants often waste budget on unfocused ads. We start with Google Search only ($800–$1,500/mo) to capture high-intent local searches while you build your email list. As you grow, we layer in Facebook/Instagram retargeting and catering-specific campaigns. We've launched 8 new Austin restaurants this way; average time to profitability on ad spend is 3–4 months.
Do you manage ads, or just strategy?
We do both. We audit your current setup, build new campaigns from scratch, and manage them daily—bid optimisation, creative testing, landing page updates, email sequences, reporting. You get a dedicated strategist + account manager. Think of us as your in-house paid marketing team without the overhead.
