At Host Stand Agency, we’ve built a holistic approach to hospitality marketing.
By amplifying brand identity and visibility and guiding algorithms to spark guest engagement, we help convert more touchpoints into revenue.
We end the frustration felt by hospitality owners and operators with fragmented marketing tactics, services, and platforms that burn cash but fail to deliver lasting results.
Hospitality marketing
Inspired by the restaurant’s host stand, the hub of coordination and first impressions, we created The Host Stand Agency as a marketing command center, rooted in brand strategy, fueled by bold creative ideas, and powered by a curated marketing tech stack.
Our proprietary 5-Plate program offers three levels of service:
1) Foundational setup – Branding, online presence, and marketing tech, strategically coordinated and structured
2) Systemized Marketing Engine – Ongoing execution that runs like clockwork
3) Special projects – Targeted solutions for unique initiatives or advisory support
Whether you’re a restaurant group, food hall, independent hotel, or national chain, we tailor our approach to meet your needs and solve the challenges standing in the way of your growth.

FEELING THE PAIN?
THIS DIGITAL MARKETING STUFF IS TOUGH
Chefs, restaurant owners, and managers didn’t sign up to sit in front of a computer all day. They were trained to craft exceptional cuisine and create unforgettable dining experiences—not to master social media content management systems, databases, or platforms like Google Business Profiles and Yelp.
THE PERILS OF NOT FIGURING THIS OUT
- Another year of breaking even (if that)?
- More cost cutting with little else to trim?
- Reducing portion sizes or raising menu prices (again!)?
- Skipping the repair on the old walk-in fridge?
- Difficult conversations with investors or landlords
It doesn’t have to be this way! Let us wrangle the tangle of tech and help attract repeat guests to be the lion’s share of revenue
