We started in hospitality and never left. Small Talk Media has run marketing for bars and restaurants for more than 20 years, from neighborhood Italian spots to high-volume waterfront venues. We know how a slow Tuesday, a new menu or a rained-out patio hits the numbers, and we build marketing that moves covers, not just likes.

Most diners pick a place from the map pack. If your Google Business Profile has old hours, weak photos or few recent reviews, you lose them to the spot down the street.
Posting food photos is not a strategy. Without a calendar tied to specials, events and promotions, social becomes a chore that never shows up in the register.
If every guest comes from third-party apps, you rent your customers. An email and SMS list lets you fill slow nights on demand.
Everything you need to get found, get chosen and get booked, managed by one team and measured on leads and revenue.
South Jersey dining is driven by local search and repeat guests. We help restaurants in Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Collingswood, Moorestown, Mullica Hill and Glassboro win their own towns, and shore spots from Ocean City to Cape May and Wildwood make the most of a short summer. In Philadelphia we have run marketing for bars and restaurants on South Street, in Old City, Center City and along the Delaware River waterfront.
Not in New Jersey or Pennsylvania? No problem. Our team is based in South Jersey and Philadelphia, but we work with clients in other states too. Strategy calls, reporting and campaign management all happen online, and we build every plan around your market, wherever it is.
Recent work: Cavanaugh's Restaurant Group, Founding Fathers, Gran Caffe L'Aquila, Haven Port Chester (NY).
Most independent restaurants put 3 to 6 percent of sales toward marketing. We usually start with Google Business Profile, social and email, then add paid ads once tracking shows what brings guests in.
No. Most of our hospitality clients are in South Jersey and Philadelphia, but we also run marketing for restaurants in other states, including New York. Everything we do works remotely.
Yes. We build private event pages, lead forms and ad campaigns that send inquiries straight to your inbox so your events team can follow up fast.
Google Maps and social improvements often show up within 30 to 60 days. SEO compounds over 3 to 6 months. Paid ads and email can move covers the same week.
