Local Restaurant Marketing — Orange County, CA
You're running a restaurant — not a marketing department. We handle everything: photos, videos, social media, Meta ads, menus, and branding. All in-house. Starting at $750/month.
Most local restaurants we talk to have the same story — they tried a big agency and got charged $3,000+ a month for mediocre content, or hired a freelancer who disappeared after two weeks. Neither worked.
Plated was built specifically for independent, owner-operated restaurants in Orange County. We keep our client list focused, do everything in-house, and charge prices that actually make sense for a restaurant running on real margins — without cutting corners on quality.
You don't need a 10-person agency. You need one reliable partner who knows your restaurant and handles it all — so you can focus on the food.
Local restaurants are our only clients. Not hotels, not chains, not corporate accounts — just independent owner-operated restaurants in Orange County who are great at what they do but don't have time to run their own marketing.
Everything is done in-house. Photos, videos, Reels, ad creative, menu design — none of it gets outsourced to someone who has never been inside a restaurant kitchen. You get fast turnaround, consistent quality, and content that actually looks like your place.
We've worked inside the industry. We know your margins are tight, your schedule is unpredictable, and the last thing you need is another vendor who overpromises and underdelivers. That's why we keep things simple, transparent, and priced fairly.
My story with restaurants started on the floor — literally. I was bussing tables when I realized the place I was working at had incredible food and zero marketing to show for it. So I started doing it myself. What began as a passion project turned into something real, and I knew this was the direction I wanted to go.
I went on to earn a degree in Marketing from San Diego State University, where I built the foundation to do this the right way — strategy, creative, paid media, all of it. Plated OC is where that education meets hands-on industry experience.
I started Plated OC because local restaurants deserve real marketing — not templated content, not someone managing your account from a spreadsheet, but someone who actually shows up, learns your menu, and creates content that makes people want to walk through your door.
I handle everything in-house: photography, video, Reels, Meta ads, menus, and branding. One person, full focus, no hand-offs.
