Growth marketing for cafes and restaurants.
Cafes and restaurants-grade growth marketing, shipped by people who've done it before.
Rosters that account for 11 public holidays, including Matariki, plus your anniversary day, without a spreadsheet.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Where cafes and restaurants actually lose hours and dollars.
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.
An AI agency, minus the theatre.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What growth marketing actually does
We run the whole growth function: the offer, the channels that reach your buyers, and the reporting that shows which of it actually paid. 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.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

What changes for cafes and restaurants after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for cafes and restaurants?
A weekly number you can act on, not a monthly slide deck. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What tools do you build growth marketing on?
For growth marketing we usually reach for Google Ads API, Meta Marketing API, HubSpot, Claude, Looker Studio. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your cafe or restaurant team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
