Marketing That Fills Tables, Not Feeds.
Our founder spent years in hospitality management before starting TMC Marketing, which is why our restaurant and venue work starts with the calendar, the menu and the staff schedule instead of a content quota. We produce the video and social content that hospitality runs on, keep your Google listing and website current, and make sure the people asking ChatGPT where to eat in Kenosha hear your name.
Marketing for restaurants and hospitality, in one place
- TMC Marketing provides social media, video and photography, local search, AI search visibility and websites for restaurants, bars, caterers and venues, including Captain Mike's Burger & Beer Pub and Portside Catering in Kenosha.
- TMC Marketing's founder worked in hospitality management before founding the agency in 2021.
- Portside Catering's website, taken over by TMC Marketing in mid-July 2026, went from 6 AI citations on 2 pages to 7 citations on 5 pages within a month.
- Hospitality clients own their website, Google Business Profile, social accounts and every finished photo and video.
- Work is priced per deliverable, so a restaurant can start with a monthly social program or a filming day and add search, a website or email as it pays off.
What Owners Tell Us Every Time
The food is good, the room is good, and the marketing is whatever the manager could post between shifts. It is the most common story in hospitality and the easiest one to fix.
Posting Stops When It Gets Busy
Social media works when it is consistent and it dies the week a server quits. The feed goes quiet exactly when the room needs people.
A monthly filming session and a posting schedule that runs whether or not the week was chaos.
The Photos Do Not Look Like the Food
Phone photos under kitchen lights undersell every plate. Guests decide on the photo before they decide on the restaurant.
Professional food, drink and room photography, plus short video, produced on location in one session.
Google and AI Decide Who Shows Up
‘Best burger in Kenosha’ is answered by Google Maps and, increasingly, by ChatGPT. Menus, hours and reviews that are out of date get you left out.
Google Business Profile management, an accurate website, and the structured data AI assistants read.
The Website Is Three Years Old
The menu PDF is wrong, the hours are wrong, and the reservation link is broken. Every one of those loses a table.
A fast site you can update yourself, with menu, hours and booking connected to the systems you already use.

Do you actually understand restaurants?
Our founder managed hospitality operations before starting the agency, so planning starts with your service periods, staffing and menu changes, not a generic content calendar. Filming is scheduled around service, not during it.
How often do you film?
Most restaurant clients get one on-location session a month, which produces enough photo and video for the whole month’s posts. Special events and menu launches can add sessions.
Can you manage our Google listing and reviews?
Yes. Google Business Profile management, including hours, menu, photos and review responses, is part of the local search work for every hospitality client.
Will people find us in ChatGPT and Google AI?
That is measured, not assumed. We track whether AI assistants mention the business for questions like ‘best burger in Kenosha’ and work on the structured data and content that gets you named.
What does it cost?
Work is priced per deliverable; a monthly social and video program is the usual starting point for a single location. Multi-location groups and venues typically choose one of the three marketing systems.
