EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Social Media 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 Social Media” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Austin restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run Social Media here. We know what it takes.
58,000 Austin restaurants compete for attention. Own your social presence.
Austin's restaurant scene is hypercompetitive across East 6th Street and The Domain, with tech money fueling new openings monthly. Most F&B businesses treat social media as a photo dump rather than a customer retention engine. Yelp and TripAdvisor control first impressions, but email lists and owned social channels control lifetime value. Restaurants that invest in community-first content—not just promotions—capture catering inquiries and delivery traffic before competitors see them.
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.
Strong foot traffic from mall visitors but zero email list, 3.2% Instagram engagement, and catering inquiries buried by competitors on Google. Marketing spend was $5,200/month with no attribution to revenue.

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 Social Media has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 90 days, your social channels convert followers into email subscribers at 8–12% rate, your email list drives 25–35% of monthly repeat revenue, and your Google Business Profile captures 40%+ of local catering and delivery searches. You own your audience and stop competing on likes.
Social Audit & Positioning
We analyze your current social presence, competitive landscape, and audience behavior across Instagram, TikTok, and Google Business Profile. We identify gaps in your content strategy, missing catering/delivery keywords, and untapped audience segments in Austin.
Community-First Content System
We build a repeatable content calendar that balances behind-the-scenes storytelling, local partnerships, and customer spotlights—content that builds loyalty, not just impressions. Every piece has a clear conversion intent: email signup, reservation, or catering inquiry.
Email List & Retention Engine
We build lead magnets (e.g., 'Austin restaurant loyalty perks,' 'exclusive menu previews') and embed email capture across your social channels. Followers convert to subscribers; subscribers convert to repeat customers and catering clients.
Delivery & Catering Search Dominance
We optimize your Google Business Profile for delivery and catering keywords ('catering Austin East 6th Street,' 'delivery near The Domain') and create social content that drives local search visibility. This captures high-intent searches that competitors miss.
Performance Tracking & Scaling
We install analytics, set up monthly reporting dashboards, and A/B test content to identify top performers. As email list and repeat customer revenue grows, we scale paid social to reinforce organic wins.
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 grew from 12K to 87K followers in nine months. But DM leads increased by 340%. Followers are vanity. Leads are the point. They understood the difference from day one.”

“Our social content used to feel random. Every post now serves a purpose in the funnel. That strategic shift was obvious within sixty days.”

“We were posting every day with zero strategy. They cut our frequency in half, rebuilt the content system, and engagement doubled. More isn't always better.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does this cost, and how does it fit into a typical Austin restaurant's $4,500 marketing budget?
Our social media marketing retainer starts at $2,500/month for community content + email setup, and scales to $5,000–$7,000/month with paid social scaling. Most clients reinvest their first 3 months of email revenue ($2,400–$3,600) back into the program, making it net-positive by month 4. If you're currently spending $4,500/month without attribution, we typically replace or augment underperforming channels (expensive Yelp ads, ineffective paid social) and reallocate budget toward email and organic content.
We already have a social media person/agency. Why should we switch?
Most Austin restaurant agencies are generalists—they post content and count followers. We're specialists in F&B revenue attribution. If your current partner can show you: (1) email list growth rate, (2) repeat customer revenue from social, and (3) Google Business Profile metrics, they may be fine. If they show you follower growth and engagement rate, you're paying for vanity metrics. We come in, audit your results, and only work together if we can prove we'll increase revenue.
How do you handle the fact that Yelp and TripAdvisor control search?
We don't fight Yelp—we own the channel they can't control: email + direct social. Yelp drives discovery; we drive retention and repeat revenue. We also optimize your Google Business Profile (which appears above Yelp on 'catering' and 'delivery near me' searches) and use social content to build a reputation narrative that counters negative reviews and builds trust. The net result: customers see Yelp, but they book through your email or direct channels.
What if we don't have time to be 'on social' every day?
You don't need to be. We build a content calendar, create 4 weeks of content in 1 session (batch production), schedule it, and handle the community engagement (comments, DMs). You review + approve once per week (1 hour). Your team's job is to execute deliveries and events well—our job is to tell that story and convert it to repeat customers.
How long before we see ROI?
Email list revenue typically appears in weeks 8–12 (first repeat orders). Catering pipeline takes 12–16 weeks (longer sales cycle). Most clients see $3,000–$6,000 in incremental monthly revenue by month 4, which covers the retainer cost. After month 6, we reinvest profits into paid social to accelerate growth. We track everything monthly and adjust strategy based on what's working.
