Restaurant franchise marketing

Food brands are judged one meal and one location at a time. Every unit needs the right menu, hours and ordering link where customers search, and a reason to order direct instead of through a delivery app.

Every unit

Its own page, menu, hours and ordering link

Direct orders

First-party ordering and loyalty alongside delivery apps

Each opening

A repeatable grand-opening campaign

Operators

Recruitment aimed at experienced restaurateurs

Quick answer

How do you market a restaurant franchise?

Location by location. Each unit needs accurate menus, hours and ordering links on its own page and Google Business Profile, first-party ordering and loyalty that keep guests coming back direct, and a repeatable launch campaign for every new opening.

What we fix

Where restaurant & food franchises lose customers

These are the four problems we see most in restaurant & food franchising, and what we do about each.

01

The problem

Delivery apps own the guest relationship

What we do

First-party ordering, loyalty, email and SMS, so repeat guests order from you and you keep their contact details.

02

The problem

Menus, prices and hours differ across location pages

What we do

Location pages and Google Business Profiles fed from one source, so a change at head office reaches every unit.

03

The problem

New units open quietly

What we do

A grand-opening playbook with paid search, social and local campaigns that each new unit can run on the same timeline.

04

The problem

Hard to find operators for a labor-heavy model

What we do

Recruitment campaigns and messaging aimed at multi-unit operators and experienced restaurateurs.

Formats we cover

One system, adapted to each format

A coffee brand lives on morning routines and loyalty, a fast-casual brand on lunch traffic and catering. We fit the location pages, campaigns and timing to how guests choose each format.
