Why Poolside

Most agencies treat a restaurant like any other account. We don’t. We only work in hospitality, so we already know what a slow Tuesday feels like and what a line out the door is worth.

Poolside started because good food kept losing to good marketing. A neighborhood spot would cook circles around the chain down the street and still sit half-empty, because nobody could find it, the photos were dark, and the website hadn’t been touched in years.

So we built a team that handles the whole picture in one voice: the post, the reel, the shoot, the site, the menu, the hat on the host stand. You get marketing that sounds like your place, and a calendar that runs without you babysitting it.

Video & photography

We make the food move.

Seven in ten guests decide where to eat from what they see on a phone. We shoot the steam, the pour, the first cut, and the full room, then cut it into short video that earns the visit.

70%of guests pick a restaurant based on what they see on social.
77%check the website before they walk in or order.
