Turn first-time diners into regulars.
Your guests already gave you their name and email when they booked or paid. I turn that guest list into full tables, with friendly emails, events people want to come to, and a reason to come back.
- Independent restaurants and cafés
- Hospitality groups with several locations
- Spots with a guest list they never use
- Owners with no time for marketing
Your best marketing list is already sitting in your system.
Every reservation and every receipt adds a guest to your Toast, OpenTable or SevenRooms account. Most restaurants never use that list, because nobody has time.
That's where I come in. You run the restaurant; I'll keep your guests coming back.
Guest engagement, handled.
Everything a big restaurant group's marketing team does, sized for an independent restaurant.
Guest list setup
Your Toast, OpenTable or SevenRooms guest list, cleaned up, organized into groups like regulars and first-timers, with proper consent.
Monthly emails & texts
New menus, specials, holidays and a "we miss you" note for guests who haven't been back in a while.
Events that fill seats
Wine dinners, holiday menus and private events, planned, promoted and set up for reservations or tickets.

Automatic offers that give guests a reason to celebrate with you.

Do I have to switch systems?
No. I work with what you already use, including Toast, OpenTable and SevenRooms, and make it work harder for you.
Is it okay to email my guests?
Yes, when it's done right. I make sure your list is built with proper consent and every message has an easy way to opt out.
Do you work with groups that have more than one location?
Yes. Each location can have its own campaigns and events, all under one plan.
Will my staff need to do anything?
A little. The most important thing is collecting guest info. I'll train your team and give them simple written steps.
How will I know it's working?
Every month you get a short report showing list growth, campaign results and returning guests.
