Great Food. Great Reviews.
Still Paying The App's Cut.

Your food is good and your regulars love you. But too much of your business runs through apps taking 15–30% off every order, and slow nights still show up out of nowhere.

🛵

Delivery App Dependency

DoorDash and Uber Eats bring orders, but every one costs a cut of your margin — and you never get their contact info.

📅

Unpredictable Slow Nights

Some nights are packed, others are dead, with no active demand generation to smooth out the gaps.

📸

Pretty Photos, No Strategy

Good food photos on Instagram don't drive visits without a paid strategy and geo-targeting behind them.

🔁

No Repeat-Customer Engine

People who've ordered once or visited before have no reason to come back — no list, no retargeting, no reminder.

Why 9 Side Media — Restaurants & Food

Built On Real Ad-Account Experience — Not A Marketing Agency Guessing At Restaurants.

We're early in the restaurant vertical specifically — which is exactly why we're not going to show you numbers we can't back up. Here's what we bring instead.

Real Ad-Account Management

Day-to-day experience managing live paid ad accounts — building geo-radius and daypart targeting, testing creative, and optimising toward cost-per-visit or cost-per-order across Meta and Google.

Foot-Traffic-First Strategy

Ads built to drive people through your door or to your own ordering page — not just likes on a food photo. Geo-radius targeting, daypart scheduling, and retargeting for people who've visited your site.

Honest Reporting From Day One

You'll see real numbers from your own campaign — clicks, calls, direction requests, direct orders — from the first reporting cycle. No borrowed case studies standing in for your results.

Content That Makes Food Look Like Food

A background in cinematic photo and video production means the creative isn't an afterthought — it's built specifically to stop the scroll and make people hungry.

Book a call and we'll walk through exactly how this would work for your menu, your slow days, and your budget — no fabricated numbers, no pressure.

FAQ

Restaurants & Food Questions.

Depends on your margins. Dine-in traffic has no commission attached, so it's usually the higher-value goal — geo-radius and daypart targeting built to get people through the door. Online-order campaigns make sense when you have your own ordering page and want to reduce delivery-app dependency specifically.
