Restaurants and cafes
Restaurant marketing that fills tables, not just feeds
Hungry people decide fast, usually on a phone, usually from a map. MarketPup keeps your hours, menu, photos and reviews right everywhere diners look, so the choice is easy.
In short: For restaurants and cafes, MarketPup keeps your hours, menu, photos and reviews right on Google, Apple Maps, Bing and AI assistants. The usual fit is the Sit plan at $249 a month, month to month, after a free Mini Sniff. MarketPup is based in Charlotte, NC and works with businesses across the United States.
How diners choose where to eat
Most restaurant decisions happen in a few minutes: someone searches "tacos near me" or asks an assistant for a quiet brunch spot, looks at the map, checks the photos, hours and stars, and goes. A wrong holiday hour or an old menu loses that diner for good. The work that matters most is keeping those few facts right and fresh.
What we'd fix first
- Hours, including holidays. Your regular and special hours kept the same on Google, Apple and Bing maps and Yelp, updated before every holiday.
- Menu and ordering links. A readable menu on your site (text, not just a photo of a PDF) and your own ordering or reservation link on your profiles.
- Photos that sell the food. We add the photos you send each week, so your profile shows today's dishes, not the ones from opening day.
- Replies to every review. Drafted replies for your OK, including the tough ones, written calmly and kept short.
Ongoing work that suits restaurants
- Weekly profile posts for specials, events and seasonal menus.
- Review QR cards for tables or receipts, with a one-tap link to your review page.
- Local ads on Google Maps and Search, or Facebook and Instagram, run in your own ad account, aimed at a few miles around you.
- A monthly newsletter to diners who signed up, for events and new menus.
Where to start
Send your website or listing for a free Mini Sniff: one page with the three fixes we'd make first. If you want us to do the work, the Sit plan covers your profiles and review cards for $249 a month. Fetch at $699 adds local ads or social posts. Every price is on the full menu, month to month, with no contract.
Free help to start on your own: A 90-day marketing plan for small businesses and Free review link and QR code maker.
We never promise rankings, reviews or a number of customers. Nothing goes live on your profiles, site or ad accounts without your yes, and the monthly report uses your own analytics.
Questions
Do you manage delivery apps?
No. We keep your own profiles, site and ordering links right, and we can point your profiles at whichever ordering link you choose. Delivery app menus and promos stay with you.
Can you get rid of bad reviews?
No one should promise that. We draft calm, short replies for your OK and help you ask happy regulars for reviews in a fair way. We never buy or fake reviews.
Do I need a new website?
Often not. A fast page with your menu, hours, address and ordering link does most of the work.
