Marketing for restaurants & cafés

Full Tables. Direct Orders. Regulars Who Come Back.

Geo-targeted Meta ads that hit phones at dinner-decision time, mouth-watering creative shot from your actual menu, and ordering pages you own — so the margin stays in your kitchen, not a delivery app's pocket.

The Math Every Restaurant Owner Is Fighting

Industry-wide numbers — not your cooking, not your service. Our job is to change your side of the equation.

3–5%

Typical profit margin

Nearly 60% of restaurants say rising costs and shrinking margins are their #1 challenge. Every wasted marketing dollar comes straight off the bottom line.

30–40%

Lost to delivery apps

Commission, service fees, and "marketing boosts" quietly eat up to a third of every third-party order. The apps own your customer — and your data.

Mon–Thu

Empty-table nights

Rent, staff, and utilities run seven days a week whether the dining room is full or not. Off-peak losses are the silent margin killer.

Try It Yourself

What Are Delivery Apps Really Costing You?

Drag the sliders — see what the ~30% platform cut adds up to over a year, and what shifting half those orders direct would keep in your kitchen.

Paid to delivery apps per year (~30%)$65,520
Kept if half those orders went direct$32,760

Every direct order skips the commission entirely — and you keep the customer's contact for repeat-visit campaigns. That's the system we build: ads pointing at ordering pages you own.

Restaurant Owner Questions

Asked Before You Ask

Do Meta ads actually work for restaurants?

Restaurants are one of Meta's best categories: food ads average a 1.67% click-through at around $0.72 per click, and restaurant lead campaigns convert near 18% — over 3x the cross-industry average. Facebook is also the #1 place diners discover new restaurants.

How do I stop losing margin to delivery apps?

Shift repeat customers to channels you own. We point ads at your own ordering and reservation pages and retarget past guests — warm audiences convert 3–5x better, and every direct order skips the 20–40% platform cut.

Can ads fill my slow weeknights?

That's the core play: midweek-specific offers, geo-targeted within driving distance, scheduled to hit phones in the hours people decide where to eat tonight.

What budget do I need?

Most single-location restaurants see meaningful results from $1,500–$3,000/month in ad spend — local clicks are cheap in this category. We'll tell you honestly what your market needs after the audit.
