What HospoPro runs

Three parts.
One team.

Simon named the three parts we run: social media, Meta ads and EDMs. Here is what each one does for a restaurant like Duckfat.

Social media

An on-brand post every day on Instagram and Facebook, so the restaurant always looks open, busy and worth the trip.

Meta ads

The best posts become paid ads, aimed at people near the restaurant. Spend runs on Duckfat’s own card at cost, never marked up.

Email

Campaigns designed, written and sent to Duckfat’s own list of past guests. This is the channel behind the $100K+.

In the owner’s words

Several years. A few businesses.

“I’ve worked with HospoPro for several years now across a few different businesses in Brisbane, managing our social media, Meta ads and EDMs, and they’ve consistently done an amazing job.”

“What I appreciate most is the peace of mind you get working with them. You know things are being looked after properly, communication is easy and you can trust them to get the job done.”

Simon L., owner, Duckfat

Why email pays

Your list is your best table.

Ads find new people. Email brings back the people who already loved the food. That is why it can earn so much for so little.

Grow it

A list you own

Every landing page signs people up, so the list grows while the ads run. It belongs to the restaurant, not to us.

Send it

One reason to book

Each email has one reason to come back: a new dish, a night, a season. Designed, written and sent for you.

Count it

Bookings, not opens

The Monday report shows what each send did, so the next one gets better.

The guarantee

The 28-day handshake.

If you’re not happy by day 28, you get your money back. And you keep every photo, post and follower we made you. That’s the deal.

DAY 1–28

Money back

Not happy? Full refund, no questions, no forms.

DAY 29 ONWARD

Month to month

No lock-in, ever. Leave any month. Most don’t.

ALWAYS

You keep it all

Photos, posts, followers, pages. Yours, either way.

THE RISK SITS WITH US. THAT’S WHERE IT BELONGS.

In Simon’s words, HospoPro manages Duckfat’s social media, Meta ads and EDMs, the emails that go to Duckfat’s own list. One team runs all three, so the posts, the ads and the emails tell the same story.
