Restaurant marketing · Gold Coast

Gold Coast restaurant marketing
for the season and the off-season.

Holiday crowds fill the coast, then go home. We help your restaurant catch the visitors and keep the locals, with a post every day, studio shots from your phone and ads aimed at the streets around you. Our team is an hour up the M1 in Brisbane, and it all runs online.

The short answer

Do you need a Gold Coast agency to market a Gold Coast restaurant?

Not really. What matters is a feed that shows your food and ads aimed at the streets around you, and both run online. Our team is in Brisbane, about an hour up the M1, and plans start at $399 a month ex-GST.

The Gold Coast year

Visitors come in waves.
Locals stay all year.

A Gold Coast restaurant serves two crowds: people on holiday and people who live here. Your marketing has to work for both, in every month.

01

December and January

The summer holidays are the peak, and visitors look you up on their phone before they walk in. Get your hours, menu and photos right on Google and Instagram before the rush, not in the middle of it.

02

The winter school holidays

In late June and July, families from the colder states come north for the sun. A winter focus, like a long lunch outside, gives them a reason to pick you over the place next door.

03

Big weekends

Blues on Broadbeach in May, the marathon in early July, the Gold Coast 500 on the Surfers Paradise streets in October, Schoolies in November. Each one changes who is walking past. Plan the posts a few weeks out.

04

Near the tram?

The tram runs up and down the coast and carries a lot of visitors without a car. If you are close to a stop, say so in your posts and on your page.

01 · Social content

Look open in the quiet months too.

After Easter and before the winter break, the coast gets quieter. That is when locals decide if you are still worth the trip, and an empty feed says you shut for the season. We post every day, all year, on Instagram and Facebook.

02 · Meta ads

Reach whoever is near your door.

In the holidays, the people near you are often visitors. In May, they are more likely to live nearby. Meta ads aimed at the streets around your venue reach both, with lookalikes of your regulars on top. The creative comes from your latest Studio Shots.

03 · Landing pages

A page for each season.

Your focus in January might be a holiday dinner. In May it might be a local weeknight. Each focus gets its own mobile page, wired into your bookings. When the season turns, we rebuild the page and redirect the ads as part of the plan.

How it works from Brisbane

An hour away. Online all the same.

We are close, but the work never depends on a drive. It runs online, the same way for every venue we take on, and we share your clock all year.

15 minutes

A free phone call

Tell us about your restaurant, your busy weeks and your slow months, and what you want more of.

About an hour

Onboarding with a person

A real person walks you through setup. We build your Brand Kit and your first focus page, and you send a few phone snaps. Most venues go live before the weekend.

Ten minutes a week

Text, portal, Monday

Approvals by text. Email through the client portal. A one-page report every Monday on bookings, covers, spend and return.

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.
What it costs

Three plans. No lock-in.

Base puts a post out every day and runs Meta ads to one landing page. Grow adds Google Search and Maps ads and a monthly email to your locals. Pro adds a second focus, so a tourist offer and a local one can run side by side, plus digital billboards within 500m where a screen is free.

Questions

Gold Coast questions, answered straight.

Anything else, email hello@hospopro.com.au. We reply within one business day.

You will not need us to. Every plan runs online: your photos come from your phone instead of a shoot day, approvals come by text and your report lands every Monday. If you want to talk it through, start with a 15-minute call.

Not yet. Our client venues are up the road in Brisbane, like Poppies in South Bank and Dirty Sultan in Fortitude Valley. A Gold Coast restaurant gets the same team, the same plans and the same guarantee.

It can. From October to April, Tweed Heads runs on NSW daylight saving, an hour ahead of you. When we post your summer hours, we can mark them as Queensland time so nobody turns up late.

Meta ads aim at the area around your venue, plus people who look like your regulars. In the holidays, plenty of the people nearby are visitors. On Grow and Pro, Google Search and Maps ads also catch people looking for food close by.

Maybe. Digital billboards come with Pro, on street screens within 500m of your venue, and only when a screen is free. Some strips will have one and some will not, so we will not promise it before we look.

The same as a Brisbane one: $399, $999 or $2,999 a month ex-GST, month to month. Your ad spend is billed to your own card at cost, and Pro comes with $1,000 of it each month. Compare the plans on pricing.
