Give people a reason to come in
Restaurant and hospitality marketing
Film, photos, texts, email and your website, for restaurants, bars and event spaces. Most of it comes out of one visit on a busy night.
A Latin Night · K. Pacho
An empty dining room sells nothing
Before anyone books a table, they look you up on their phone. What sells a restaurant is the food, the room and the people in it on a good night, and a photo of empty tables shows none of that. So we come in when you’re busy, film and photograph all of it, and turn that one visit into what you post, text and email for weeks.
Films we’ve made for restaurants
All work
Restaurants
K. Pacho
K. Pacho is a Mexican Restaurant located in the heart of New Hyde Park. Their Main Event of the year is Cinco De Mayo, and they wanted to let everyone know what they’re missing if they don’t show up. We deployed our Video Production crew and let the magic unfold throughout the night.
Restaurants
Saverio's Pizza
Saverio’s came to us with a need to document their story. The Cataldo family had a deep, authentic, and inspiring story to tell but needed help getting it out in the world in the way of short form video and content marketing. We assisted the Saverio’s team in developing a YouTube series called “Our Family Business” which was used to tell this story, as well as various promotional and seasonal videos showcasing their brand and products.

Saverio's Pizza
In order to make professional storytelling pieces that were different than the day to day social content, Saverio’s needed a Video Production crew.
Restaurants
Saverio's Pizza
Homemade Mozzarella is part of what separates a meat store from the next one. A&S had a family tradition passed down from generation to generation, and that tradition continued on with Sam. He showcased how he makes his Mozzarella and we made this into such a great storytelling piece for his customers to see.
Restaurants
Saverio's Pizza
At Saverio’s Pizza, #EatingAuthentic is one of their mission statements and they wanted to express this to all of Long Island and the local communities around them. One of the best ways to do this with modern digital tools is to create a video for use on social media.
Restaurants
K. Pacho
Latin Night is the beating heart of K. Pacho and they wanted to showcase the excitement and fun of their weekly event. What better way than to capture it all on film with our in-house production team, and add some magic and music with our editors?
Restaurants
The Refuge
Rosé and Reggae is a mix of Reggae music and Rosé wine, which is a signature night at The Refuge of Melville. On a warm summer night with the moon shining bright, we filmed the beautiful and relaxing experience to showcase to customers and potential customers. Videos like this were used on Social Media as well as showcased on the website.
Restaurants
Saverio's Pizza
Covid-19 revolutionized the way people dine, and with the change in environment that restaurants had to adapt to, came creativity. Emily and Sam had the dream to turn the back area of their restaurant into a Piazza in Italy. This was something that we just had to capture and showcase to their customers.
Your specials, sent by text
Every week Saverio’s sends its special by text, with a photo of the pie, to customers who signed up for it. Regulars reply with how many they want, which takes a step out of ordering.
Sent to people who asked
A list you own, grown from the followers you already have.
Reply to order
The number of pies, sent back as a text.
Out loud on Alexa, too
Their Alexa skill reads the same special and offers a QR code to order.
A website that takes the order
People come to a restaurant’s site to do one thing: see the menu, order, or book a table or a party. We build it around that, and put your own film on it, as we did for The Refuge.
Menu, orders and bookings
The things a visitor came for, one click from the front page.
Your nights on your site
The film from your big night, playing where people decide.
Easy to keep current
New hours, a new menu or a holiday page, changed for you.
Photos of the food and the room
Menu photos, delivery-app photos and the room itself, lit so a dish looks the way it does coming out of the kitchen. We shoot them on the same visit as the film, so it all looks like one place.
Food and drink
For the menu, the delivery apps and your feeds.
The room
What a guest is deciding about before they book.
Sized for everywhere
Delivered cropped for the site, the apps and print.

Questions we get
Anything else? Call 631-551-6880.
What kind of content works for a restaurant?
Food and room photography for the site and the menus, vertical video for social, and the occasional longer piece about the people behind the kitchen. Most of it comes out of a single shoot on your premises.
Can you film during service?
Yes, and most of our restaurant films were shot that way: Latin Night at K. Pacho across a full service, A Pizza Story in the Saverio’s kitchen while it was open. We work around your staff and your guests.
Can you send our specials by text?
Yes. For Saverio’s Pizza the weekly special goes out by text to customers who signed up, and regulars reply with the number of pies they want. We can grow that list from the followers you already have.
Do you photograph the food yourselves?
Yes. Food and product photography is shot in-house by the same team that produces the video and runs the accounts, on location at your restaurant.
What does restaurant marketing cost?
Most small businesses invest $1,500–$5,000 per month for ongoing work. Individual projects are quoted per engagement, and every engagement starts with a free consultation.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Hauppauge, NY and work on location across Nassau and Suffolk County. Studio work happens at our own space; everything else we come to you.
