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.
Portland restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Your paid ads should deliver reservations, not just clicks.
Portland's F&B scene is booming—48,000 SMBs compete across Pearl District, Division Street, and beyond. Yet most restaurants surrender search visibility to Yelp and TripAdvisor, leaving delivery and catering queries uncaptured. Your competitors are already testing paid channels. The question: are your ads working as hard as your kitchen?
The 3 places Portland 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.
Ads were running across Google and Facebook, but attribution was murky. They couldn't tell if $3,200/mo in ad spend was profitable. Yelp reviews drove traffic, but paid campaigns felt like an afterthought. Delivery orders were buried in the noise.
Consolidated Google Ads into location-specific campaigns with unique landing pages for each restaurant, each tracking reservations and takeout separately

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, you'll have a predictable customer acquisition engine. Every ad dollar is tracked back to a reservation or order. You'll know your cost per booking, which campaigns drive repeat customers, and where catering/delivery revenue sits. Most importantly: you'll be reinvesting profitably, not guessing.
Audit Your Ad Ecosystem
We map every dollar you're currently spending—Google, Meta, Yelp, any other channel. We pull conversion data, landing page performance, and audience overlap. This reveals what's working and what's hemorrhaging budget.
Build Your Targeting Blueprint
We define your ideal diner based on your menu, location, and revenue goals. For Portland restaurants, this means segmenting by neighborhood, meal type (dine-in vs. delivery vs. catering), and seasonality. We identify which audiences are worth bidding on and which ones waste your budget.
Design Campaigns That Convert
We create ad creative and landing pages built specifically for restaurant conversions—not generic, but tailored to your cuisine, vibe, and offer. Each campaign ladder: awareness → consideration → booking/order. We test messaging that resonates with Portland diners.
Launch, Monitor & Refine
We go live with your campaigns across priority channels—typically Google Ads for reservations, Meta for repeat traffic. We monitor daily, catch budget leaks in real-time, and pause underperformers within 48 hours. You'll see weekly performance reviews.
Build Your Email Retention Engine
Paid ads bring diners in; email keeps them coming back. We integrate your booking/order system with an email platform, set up post-visit campaigns (reviews, loyalty, next visit), and segment by diner behavior. This turns one-time customers into regulars.
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.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |
What this typically looks like for a Portland restaurants & f&b brand
The median restaurants & f&b client after 6 months

“Finally, an agency that talks about margin, not clicks. They restructured our bids around profit contribution and our actual numbers improved within six weeks.”
Tom B.
Founder · E-commerce, $5M revenue
“Google Ads was our biggest cost centre. It's now our highest-margin acquisition channel. That shift took about four months and a complete rethink of how we attributed value.”
Lisa W.
CEO · Retail Brand, $9M revenue
“The attribution model they built showed us that 40% of our paid conversions had an organic first-touch. We restructured the whole channel mix based on that one insight.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How quickly will I see results?
First optimizations (pause bad campaigns, adjust bids) happen within 48 hours. You'll see measurable improvements—lower CPL, higher conversion rate—within 2–3 weeks. Sustainable, profitable growth typically shows in the 60–90 day window once email retention kicks in.
What if my budget is under $2,000/mo?
Most Portland restaurants start at $1,500–$3,500. We work with your budget and prioritize high-intent channels (Google Local, review-based ads) over brand-building until CAC drops. We'd rather run $1,500 efficiently than $5,000 wastefully.
Do you manage ads, or just advise?
We manage everything—campaign setup, creative testing, daily optimization, reporting, and email integration. You focus on running the restaurant. We handle the ads and the funnel. Think of us as your fractional VP of Marketing.
How is this different from Yelp or Facebook's ad tools?
Yelp and Facebook are channels—they'll sell you ads all day. We're strategists. We audit your entire ecosystem, identify where dollars leak, and build campaigns that feed a retention funnel. We also hold Yelp accountable; many restaurants overspend there because they don't track ROI.
What's the minimum engagement length?
We recommend a 90-day sprint minimum to see real impact. That's enough time to test, optimize, and prove ROI. Most clients stay longer because the results speak for themselves. Month-to-month after that—no long-term contract lock-in.
