The In-Flight Catalog
What we do.
Twelve services, grouped by what they do for your restaurant. Pick one, or let us build the full flight plan.
Made in-house
We shoot and create everything ourselves.
Every photo, video and graphic is made by our own crew. We don't hand it off to a stock library or an outside studio. The people planning your content are the same people behind the camera.
01
Fill Seats
Attention is nice, but a full dining room pays the bills. We put ads in front of the people most likely to come in, stay in touch with the guests you already have, and make sure every review gets a real answer.
Paid Ads
Meta and Google ads built to put people in seats. We run them end to end, creative included, and show you which campaigns are bringing guests through the door.
Email & SMS
Your guest list is your most direct line to a full dining room. We run your email and SMS in Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Toast or whatever platform you already use, start to finish.
Reviews & Guest Relations
Every review, comment and message is a guest talking to you. We handle replies on Yelp, Google and social in your voice and look after your Google Business Profile.
Proof: For Trill Burgers in Houston, we ran ad management and email marketing and kickstarted the loyalty program. Read the Trill Burgers story
02
Grow Your Following
People decide where to eat on their phones, often before they have decided they are hungry. We run your Instagram and TikTok, shoot the photos and video that fill them, and bring in creators who send the right people your way.
Social Media
We run your Instagram and TikTok like someone who eats at your restaurant every week, so your feed always sounds like you.
Content
Photography, short-form video and food styling, all made in-house by our own crew. Every piece has a job beyond looking good.
Influencers
We find the right creators for your restaurant and handle each partnership start to finish, so every visit turns into content worth sharing.
Proof: We run marketing for the Kei Concepts brands, from NEP Cafe to QUA. We also ran The Alley USA Instagram, handled social as 7 Leaves Cafe’s head of marketing, and did photography and social for Afters. Read the Kei Concepts story
03
Launch & Events
Opening a new location is the loudest moment a restaurant gets. We build the campaign around it: the teaser, the opening-day push, the creators in the room, the press hit, and the plan for the weeks after.
Grand Openings
New location, concept or menu: the full launch, from the first announcement to the weeks after opening day. We shoot the opening content ourselves.
Events
Influencer dinners, community nights, collaborations and in-store promotions, from the first idea to the content that follows.
PR
Press releases, media pitches, local media and creator coverage, plus founder ghostwriting: speeches and bylined articles.
Proof: The Alley: grand openings from Irvine Spectrum to Ala Moana and Las Vegas. 7 Leaves: franchise program and its first Northern California openings. Kei Concepts: every brand since 2020, from each opening onward. Read the The Alley story
04
Brand & Web
Your brand is the feeling guests get before the first bite. We make sure the menu, the front door, the feed and the inbox all look and sound like one place, and that your website gets people to a reservation.
Brand Voice & Copywriting
Brand voice guidelines, menus, website copy and campaign copy that make your restaurant recognizable before anyone sees the logo.
Graphic Design
Menus, flyers, signage, email templates and social graphics, designed in-house from one consistent look.
Website Development
Menu, hours and reservations front and center. Built mobile-first and easy for your own team to update.
Proof: We handled graphic design for Trill Burgers in Houston. Read the Trill Burgers story
