Food and drink marketing wins on intent and attribution

For restaurants and cafes, most revenue is decided at two moments: when someone searches for somewhere to eat, and when they see a paid social ad and tap through to book. Google Ads captures the first moment. Meta and TikTok capture the second. For D2C food and drink brands, the same logic applies: paid search defends branded and category intent while paid social acquires new customers. The operators and brands that grow fastest are the ones who close the attribution loop between the ad and the cover, the order, or the first subscription.

02What we do

Seven services. Run as one programme, or one at a time.

Every service runs standalone, and many food and drink clients hire us for a single specialism. The biggest gains land when paid search, social, and analytics run together, because reservation and order data feeds bidding signals across every channel.

05Why us

Co-founder-led. Performance-first. BYLT for food and drink.

Teodor Yordanov, Co-Founder of BYLT Media
Most food and drink businesses are spending on paid media but measuring it against the wrong thing. Counting clicks is not the same as counting covers. The fix is attribution, not more budget.

07FAQ

What food and drink clients ask us first

Five questions we answer on almost every discovery call.

Q.01Which channels do you lead with for restaurants and cafes?

Google Ads (Search, Performance Max, and Local campaigns) for in-the-moment intent, and Meta as a secondary channel for reach and retargeting. For delivery-focused venues, we layer on Google Ads campaigns targeting delivery intent keywords and optimise against online order conversion events rather than covers.

Q.02How do you measure cover bookings from Google Ads?

We connect Google Ads conversion tracking to your booking platform (OpenTable, ResDiary, SevenRooms, or a direct booking widget) so every cover is recorded as a conversion event. That data feeds Smart Bidding directly, so the algorithm optimises for actual table bookings rather than website sessions.

Q.03Can you help food and drink D2C brands, not just venues?

Yes. D2C food and drink brands are a core part of what we do. The channel mix shifts towards Google Shopping, Performance Max, and Meta for acquisition, with email and CRO running the retention programme. We set blended ROAS targets across online orders and subscription sign-ups, not just first-order return on ad spend.

Q.04What is the minimum engagement for a food and drink business?

We work with independent venues, multi-site groups, and D2C food and drink brands at various scales. Retainers typically start at £3,000 per month for a single channel and scale from there based on spend and scope. We set pricing after an initial call once we understand the business and what attribution gaps exist.

Q.05How long before paid media moves the needle on covers or orders?

Tracking setup and campaign launch usually takes two to three weeks. Early conversion data comes in quickly for businesses that already have a booking or ordering platform in place. Meaningful performance gains typically follow in the first four to six weeks, with the algorithm compounding as it accumulates conversion history.

Q.06Do you work with delivery platforms like Deliveroo or Uber Eats?

We do not manage advertising inside delivery platform dashboards directly, but we do run Google Ads and Meta campaigns that target delivery intent and drive orders through your own online ordering system. For venues where direct orders are the priority, reducing dependency on delivery platform commission is part of the conversation.
