Full-service restaurants across Texas. We work exclusively with independent full-service restaurants. No chains. No franchises. No exceptions.
We run Meta and Google campaigns for full-service restaurants that bring real customers through your door — especially on your slowest days. And we track exactly how many people walked in because of your ads.
You've boosted posts that got likes but no reservations. You've hired someone to post content that nobody saw. You've run ads that spent your budget and brought nobody in. And at the end of every month you still have no idea whether your marketing is actually working.
That's not a you problem. That's a system problem. Most agencies give restaurants more content. We give restaurants more customers.
Full-service restaurants across Texas. We work exclusively with independent full-service restaurants. No chains. No franchises. No exceptions.
Daily management, caption writing, scheduling, and community engagement. We run your social like it's our restaurant, not a checkbox.
Monthly media days with professional food photography and short-form video. We capture the feeling, not just the food.
Meta ads managed by people who know how to target hungry diners in your market — not generic audiences that never walk in your door.
Monthly content calendars built on market research, competitor analysis, and your business goals. Every post has a reason to exist.
Pre, during, and post content systems for every event. We build the anticipation before, capture the moment during, and extend the buzz after.
Logo, color system, typography, and website — all built to make your brand as good as your food. Because first impressions happen online first.
This is what it looks like when a restaurant stops guessing and starts growing.

Palate's founder operates LUMA Cocktail Lounge in McAllen, Texas. We built this agency because we lived the problem — running a restaurant with a marketing budget and no way to know if any of it was working.
We built the system we wished we had. Then we started offering it to other restaurants.
Today Palate works exclusively with full-service independent restaurants across Texas. One niche. One system. Real results.
