What we do And who for

A marketing agency that only works with hospitality

BL Gastro is a marketing and communication agency for restaurants, based in Barcelona. We only work with hospitality: restaurants, hospitality groups and product brands. We run Google and Meta advertising, social media, photo and video, press, influencer marketing, design, web and AI tools.

We take on few clients at a time. That way we can follow each venue's service calendar and fix what isn't working the same week.

Who for
  • Single-venue restaurants that want to start with one service.
  • Hospitality groups and product brands that combine several.
  • Venues that want to fill specific days and know what each diner who walks in costs.
  • Barcelona and Catalonia, plus Madrid, Valencia, Málaga and the rest of Spain.
Restaurant marketing With numbers

Restaurant marketing with numbers, not promises

Restaurant marketing is everything that makes someone choose your restaurant before they have tasted anything: what they find when they search for you on Google, what they see on your social media, the photos of your menu and what they have been told. We explain it channel by channel, with figures and what each one costs, in our guide to restaurant marketing.

At BL Gastro we work on it piece by piece and with numbers. We decide with you which days and which services need filling, put the budget where guests are missing and tell you every month what each guest who walked in has cost.

How to start
  • With a single service, such as Google ads or photography.
  • With a first call to see which days and services still need filling.
  • Adding the rest once you see it working.
Services Eight, and that's it
01

Ads

Google and Meta. We split the budget across the days you want to fill and tell you what each diner who walks in costs.

02

Social media

Calendar, publishing and community, with content shot at the venue rather than bought from stock libraries.

03

Video & photo

Food, dining room and team, shot during real service. Material for months: social, ads, web and press.

04

Press

Relationships with journalists and food media, press kits, and support for openings, menu changes and anniversaries.

05

Influencer marketing

Profile selection by proximity and fit, rate and usage-rights negotiation, and measuring the tables each one brings in.

06

Graphic design

Identity, menus, packaging and dining-room signage, built to hold up to daily use.

07

Web

Fast websites, with the menu always current and bookings built in.

08

AI

In-house tools and workflows to produce faster, always with a person reviewing before it goes out.

How we work From the first call to the report

A six-month contract with an exit at month three, not per project

01

First call

No commitment. You tell us about the venue and the goal, and we suggest where to start and what budget fits.

02

One service or several

You don't have to take everything. You can start with Google Ads or local SEO and add the rest when it makes sense.

03

Week by week

We work with your service calendar and your numbers. What isn't working gets fixed the same week.

04

Monthly report

Results with no technical jargon, set against your service calendar. At month three, if it isn't working, you can leave.

Pricing and terms Monthly management

From €295 + VAT per month

That's the starting point for Google Ads or local SEO. Other services are combined according to what each venue needs, and we settle the exact budget on the first call, with no commitment.

Ad spend

Separate from our management fee; we set it with you according to the venue and the goal.

Contract

Six months, with an optional exit at month three if it isn't working.

Tuesdays can fill up too

An opening that got covered everywhere

Press kit, professional photo session and direct media relations in the three weeks before opening. 18 mentions in food press, without hiring an outside press agency.

Why us

We're not an agency that also happens to do restaurants.

Hospitality is the specialty. We work with your service calendar and your numbers, and tell you what isn't worth doing. Few clients at a time so we can fix what isn't working the same week.
