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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

They just handle it. No chasing, no fuss.
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.
Tell us about your restaurant, your busy weeks and your slow months, and what you want more of.
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.
Approvals by text. Email through the client portal. A one-page report every Monday on bookings, covers, spend and return.
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.

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.
