Marketing for restaurants & hospitality

Azteca Media markets restaurants, bars, cafés and food trucks across the United States. The priority is visual — photography, short-form video and an accurate, well-maintained Google Business Profile — because diners decide where to eat from photos, hours and recent reviews long before they open your website. Menu accuracy and correct hours are worth more than any campaign.

The hard part

What actually makes this sector difficult

The decision happens on Google and Instagram

Diners check photos, hours, and the most recent reviews. Your website is often the last thing they look at, if they look at all.

Wrong hours cost real covers

An outdated holiday schedule on Google sends people to a competitor and generates a one-star review from someone who never ate your food.

Content demand is relentless

Social rewards frequency, and restaurants need new visual material constantly while running a kitchen at the same time.

Delivery platforms take the relationship

Third-party apps own the customer data and the margin. Building direct ordering and a direct audience is what protects both.

Our approach

What we do about it

  1. Profile first, always

    Hours, menu, attributes, photos and Q&A kept current on Google — the highest-return work in restaurant marketing and the most commonly neglected.

  2. Shoot in batches

    One production day yields a month of photography and short-form video, so the kitchen is disrupted once instead of weekly.

  3. Publish on a rhythm

    A consistent posting cadence across Instagram and Facebook, planned a month ahead and approved before it runs.

  4. Own your direct channel

    Direct ordering and an email or SMS list, so repeat customers reach you without a platform fee in between.

Questions

Restaurants & Hospitality marketing questions

What matters most for restaurant marketing?

An accurate, actively maintained Google Business Profile — correct hours including holidays, a current menu, recent photos and answered reviews. It is the first and often only thing a hungry person checks. Everything else, including social media and your website, matters less than getting that one surface right.

How often should a restaurant post on social media?

Three to five times a week on Instagram, with a mix of short-form video and photography. Consistency matters more than volume: a steady rhythm sustained for a year outperforms daily posting that burns out after six weeks. Batching production is what makes that rhythm sustainable alongside running a kitchen.

Is it worth having a website when we are on delivery apps?

Yes, for two reasons. Delivery platforms charge 15 to 30 percent per order and keep the customer relationship, so every order you take directly is materially more profitable. And your own site is what search engines and AI assistants read to answer questions about your hours, menu and location — the apps will not do that for you.

How do we handle negative reviews?

Respond publicly, quickly, and without arguing. A calm reply that acknowledges the issue and offers to make it right is read by every future customer who sees that review, and it often matters more to them than the complaint itself. Unanswered negative reviews do far more damage than answered ones.
