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.
Los Angeles restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run Social Media here. We know what it takes.
180,000 LA restaurants fighting for attention on two platforms.
Los Angeles's F&B scene is intensely competitive—from food trucks in the Arts District to fine dining in West Hollywood. Most restaurants treat social media as a photo gallery, not a revenue channel. Yelp and TripAdvisor control 60% of discovery, leaving you vulnerable to algorithm changes and review manipulation. The restaurants winning right now are building email lists, running community-first content, and converting followers into loyal customers through systems, not luck.
The 3 places Los Angeles 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.
High social following but low conversion to reservations. 80% of new customers came from Yelp reviews, creating dependence on ratings. Catering business was completely invisible in search.

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 6 months, you'll own a direct audience of customers (email + SMS list) who drive predictable reservations and repeat orders, independent of review platforms or algorithm changes. Your social media becomes a revenue channel, not a content dump.
Audit Your Current Presence
We analyze your social profiles, email strategy (if any), review landscape, and competitor positioning across Instagram, TikTok, and Google Local. We identify where you're losing customers and where quick wins exist.
Build Owned Audience Framework
We architect your email list growth system, SMS opt-in strategy, and loyalty program integration. This replaces dependence on Yelp and social algorithms. Every piece of content is designed to capture emails and drive repeat orders.
Design Community-First Content Calendar
We create 90 days of platform-specific content (Instagram, TikTok, Google Posts) that builds community, showcases your unique LA location story, and drives action. Each post has a conversion purpose—reservation, email signup, or event attendance.
Execute & Optimize Campaigns
We manage production, posting, community engagement, and paid amplification ($1,000–$3,000/mo). We monitor engagement, conversion metrics, and email list growth weekly. Paid spend is directed toward high-intent keywords: 'reservations in [neighborhood]', 'catering for [your cuisine]', 'delivery [your restaurant]'.
Scale What Works, Cut What Doesn't
After 60 days of data, we identify top-performing content, channels, and audience segments. We shift budget toward highest-ROI activities and test new platforms or formats. Your email list and repeat customer rate become the north star metrics.
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 Los Angeles restaurants & f&b brand
The median restaurants & f&b client after 6 months
A no-fluff guide used by top LA restaurants to convert followers to customers, build owned email audiences, and escape review-platform dependence. Includes templates, checklists, and a 90-day content roadmap specific to your concept.
Median result across 12 restaurants & f&b Social Media case studies. Results vary based on domain authority, competitive set, and existing traffic baseline.
“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.”

Founder · Beauty Brand, $2M revenue
“Our social content used to feel random. Every post now serves a purpose in the funnel. That strategic shift was obvious within sixty days.”
Leo R.
CMO · Fashion Brand
“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 do you do retainers?
Our standard retainer for LA restaurants is $3,500–$8,500/month depending on scope (content production, paid spend, email management). We offer a 30-day Strategy Audit & Launch package for $2,200 if you want to test the approach first. Most clients see positive ROI by month 3–4.
What if we're already paying for a social media manager?
Most in-house or freelance social managers focus on posting and engagement—not conversion systems or owned-audience building. We audit your current strategy and identify the gaps. Some clients keep their content creator and we layer in email, SMS, and search optimization. Others transition entirely to us.
How do you help us show up for delivery and catering searches when we're not using DoorDash or Uber Eats?
We optimize your Google Business Profile, create catering-specific landing pages, and run SMS/email campaigns targeting high-intent local keywords. We also integrate with platforms you do use and optimize your presence there. Most LA restaurants we work with see 30–50% of delivery orders come from direct channels within 4 months.
Do you manage our paid ads, and is that separate from the retainer?
Yes, we manage paid ads (Google Ads, Meta, TikTok). Paid spend (usually $1,500–$3,000/month) is separate from the management retainer. We allocate it based on performance data—high-converting keywords, audiences, and content get the budget.
How long until we see results?
Email list growth starts immediately (week 1–2). Paid ad conversions show within 2–3 weeks. Search visibility (Google Local) takes 60–90 days. Most clients see 20–30% revenue uplift by month 4. We track monthly and adjust if benchmarks aren't being hit.
