Restaurant & hospitality social media that fills seats.
We're a Tampa Bay social media agency built for hospitality — cinematic content, strategy, and paid ads for restaurants, cocktail bars, cafés, and hotels in St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater. Not likes. Covers, reservations, and room nights.
Hospitality brands we've served.
Part of 40+ local and national brands we've shot, posted, and grown across Tampa Bay.
“We put owners and staff on camera to educate, entertain, and answer the questions locals are already asking — that’s what compounds local reach.”— Grant, Founder · Orange Grove Social
Beautiful food. Great room. Empty Tuesday.
Hospitality is the most visual industry on earth — and most of it is invisible online.
-
Your dining room doesn't translate to the feed.
The lighting, the plating, the hum of a full service — phone snaps between rushes can't carry it. Guests decide from the grid before they ever read a menu.
-
Slow nights stay slow.
Weekends fill themselves. It's Tuesday through Thursday — and shoulder season — where a real content engine earns its keep.
-
Nobody on staff owns it.
The GM posts when there's time. A server "does the TikToks." Consistency dies the first busy week — and the algorithm notices.
-
Tourists can't find you, locals forget you.
Tampa Bay turns over its audience constantly — snowbirds, conferences, spring break. If you're not reaching them the week they're here, someone else is.
The system, tuned for hospitality.
-
i. — Content
Cinematic food & room content
One production day a month at your venue — slow-motion pours, plating, golden-hour exteriors, the energy of a full service. A month of reels and stills in one block, shot around your prep hours.
-
ii. — Editorial
Posting tied to your covers
An editorial plan built around seasonality, menu launches, events, and the nights you actually need to fill — not the algorithm of the week.
-
iii. — Media
Ads aimed at hungry locals & visitors
Geo-targeted Meta & Google campaigns that put your best dishes in front of people within driving distance — and tourists the week they land.
-
iv. — Funnel
From scroll to reservation
Optimized bios, booking links, event pages, and offer flows — so attention becomes a booked table, not just a saved post.
The numbers behind the pretty feed.
- 2.5Morganic Meta views for one Tampa Bay client in 60 days — zero ad spend
- +308%Instagram reach growth for the same client over the same window
- 30–60days for most venues to see measurable reservations & walk-ins

How much does restaurant social media management cost in Tampa Bay?
Every hospitality package is quoted to your venue and includes a full monthly content shoot, professional videography and photography, strategy, and done-for-you posting. Paid ads packages are scoped to your goals.
Do you shoot the content yourselves?

Most hospitality clients see measurable movement — reach, follows, reservations, and walk-ins — within the first 30 to 60 days.
Do you work with restaurants outside St. Petersburg?
Yes. We're based in St. Petersburg and serve all of Tampa Bay — Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota — and travel nationwide for hotel groups and multi-location brands.
