AI ads for cafes and restaurants.

AI-managed paid ads, built around how a cafe or restaurant actually works.

How it works in New Zealand

We find the one workflow costing cafes and restaurants the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.

Rosters that account for 11 public holidays, including Matariki, plus your anniversary day, without a spreadsheet.

Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)

Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

Definitely not a typical AI agency.

Straight answers, even when the answer is no

One workflow live in weeks, not a programme

Measured in hours back, not slides

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Where most cafes and restaurants engagements actually deliver value.

Hospitality runs on thin margins where a missed booking, a bad review left unanswered, or a slow roster costs real money.

Reservations, reviews, and rostering are the recurring admin that pulls owners off the floor.

What AI ads actually do

AI-generated ad creative, auto-tested headlines, and bid management that actually watches CPL - not just CPC. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*

*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.

If we build the right slice first, cafes and restaurants feel the difference inside the first month. Average 38% lower cost-per-lead vs. agency-managed accounts. Kiwi Dynamics

Straight answers

When does AI ads actually pay back?

Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a cafe or restaurant - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.

Will this run on our own infrastructure?

Yes, where it makes sense. AI ads can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Google Ads API, Meta Marketing API, Claude, Replicate, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.

How do you price AI ads engagements?

Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most cafes and restaurants are surprised how small the first cheque is.

Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?

It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.

What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?

The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
