No agencies. No retainers that eat your margin. Just consistent, high-quality content that fills seats and builds the kind of brand worth talking about.
Independent fine dining is under-marketed. Chains have agencies. Independents get templates, guesswork, or nothing.
Your food is exceptional. Your Instagram is an afterthought. Your competitors are spending more on a single photoshoot than you've spent on marketing all year. That's not a resource problem — it's a strategy problem.
Strategic posting, story content, and community management. Your account, running like a proper brand — not a food blog with an existential crisis.
Short-form video built for your kitchen, your tables, and the guests who can't stop talking about their meal. No dancing. No trends for trends' sake.
Monthly or per-session shoots. Real food photography, not stock. Real interiors, not staged sets. Every image earns its place on your feed.
Carefully matched creators who actually eat at your type of restaurant. No mega-influencers. No #ad overload. Just people whose audience wants what you're selling.
Response management and review strategy. Because a restaurant with twelve reviews and twelve thoughtful responses beats one with 400 and nothing but "Thanks!"
Guest lists that actually open. Newsletters that feel like a recommendation from someone who knows you, not a marketing blast from a brand trying too hard.
Every package includes onboarding. No setup fees. No lock-in contracts.

Harper's Table is a 42-cover independent in Islington, open since 2019. When they came to GildedPlate, their Instagram had gone stale — two posts a month, no strategy, no engagement. Their cover count was holding steady at around 180 per week, mostly from repeat locals.
Over 90 days, we rebuilt their visual identity from the ground up, launched a consistent posting cadence, ran two local micro-influencer partnerships, and produced a monthly shoot day that gave them a full library of usable content. The result wasn't a viral moment — it was something better: sustained, compounding growth.
We built the process to get your restaurant's marketing live fast — and right.
You fill out the onboarding questionnaire — takes about 15 minutes. We review your answers, study your market, and prepare a brand direction brief. Then we hop on a 30-minute strategy call to align on goals and priorities.
We lock in your visual and tone-of-voice direction, build the content calendar for the first month, and brief the photographer or videographer for the first shoot day.
Your first posts go out. Your profile gets a refresh. The first shoot day happens. You're live — and it's not an afterthought, it's a proper start.
We pull the first data, review what's working, adjust the approach, and send you your first report. Then we keep going.
20 minutes. No hard sell. Just a conversation about what your restaurant needs.
