A Restaurant is Not an Ecommerce Store, So Its Ads Shouldn't be Run Like One

A generalist agency optimises for cost per click and broad reach. That works for selling products online, not for filling a table at 7pm on a Friday.

Hospitality advertising has unique rules: hyper-local delivery radiuses, kitchen service dayparting, food-focused creative, and competing directly against multi-billion pound delivery apps.

  • Disconnected Ad Channels: Search, social, and retargeting operating as isolated silos with zero synergy.

  • Unprofitable App Commission: Paying ad spend to drive traffic to delivery apps instead of direct checkout.

  • No Service Pacing: Running high-budget ads when the kitchen is at full capacity or closed.

02 where we run your campaigns

One Paid Media System, Four Channels, All Working the Same Job

Every channel is synchronised to capture immediate hunger, engage local audiences, and reclaim revenue from third-party delivery apps.

  • Google Ads

    Search ads for people actively looking for somewhere to eat right now, plus Local Service and Google Business Profile integration so you show up above the delivery apps for your own branded searches.

  • Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

    Postcode targeted campaigns that put your food in front of people nearby, paired with retargeting so anyone who visited your site or app without ordering sees you again before they open Deliveroo instead.

    Explore Meta Ads for restaurants
  • TikTok Ads

    Short-form video that builds appetite and brand awareness with a younger, discovery-led audience, then feeds that attention straight into your retargeting and direct ordering funnel.

  • Retargeting & Display

    Bring back the people who nearly ordered. Anyone who viewed your menu, started a checkout, or visited your Google listing gets followed with a reminder to finish the order direct, not through an app.

03 the process

From Ad Account Audit to Booked Tables, in Four Steps

A proven, structured deployment built specifically for hospitality timelines and peak service hours.

  1. step 01

    01. Audit

    We start by reviewing your existing ad accounts, your Google Business Profile, and where your current bookings and orders actually come from. No changes are made until we know exactly what's working and what's wasting spend.

  2. step 02

    02. Build

    We set up or rebuild your campaigns around your service times, delivery radius, and the specific goal that matters most to you, whether that's covers, direct orders, or both.

  3. step 03

    03. Launch and Optimise

    Campaigns go live with tight geographic and time-of-day targeting. We monitor daily in the first two weeks and adjust based on real booking and order data, not just click metrics.

  4. step 04

    04. Report in Plain English

    Monthly reporting that tells you what it actually means for your business: cost per booking, cost per direct order, and how much of your spend is converted into revenue that didn't go through a delivery app.

06 common questions

Paid Advertising for Restaurants, Answered

It depends on your location, competition, and whether you're focused on covers, direct orders, or both. We'll give you a specific recommendation based on your market during your free ad account audit rather than a generic figure.

Most restaurants that try this themselves, or with a generalist agency, end up running the same broad targeting used for any other business. We build campaigns specifically around service times, delivery radius and competing with delivery apps, which is where most restaurant ad accounts actually go wrong.

You keep full ownership and visibility of your ad accounts and your spend. We manage the strategy, setup and optimisation. Nothing is hidden inside an account you don't have access to.

Search and social ads typically start generating bookings or orders within the first one to two weeks. We'll usually recommend running for a minimum of four to six weeks before making major strategy changes, since that's roughly how long it takes to gather enough data to optimise properly.

We can run effective ad campaigns pointing to most existing websites. If your checkout or booking process is creating friction that's costing you conversions, we'll flag it honestly during the audit rather than assuming you need a full rebuild.
