We've grown our own 7-figure restaurant

We're not just any marketing agency. We own Loreley Beer Garden in New York City, and we increased its revenue by over 300%.

We've been in the restaurant business for over 20 years and learned everything the hard way, so you don't have to.

Now, all you have to do is let us install the same 3X advertising system that changed everything.

The founder of ION Hospitality being filmed at his restaurant

Hi, I'm Doug

I have been in the trenches as a restaurant owner myself, where I grew Loreley Beer Garden in New York City by 300%.

That journey became the blueprint for ION Hospitality, a marketing & advertising agency I started to help other restaurant owners. I use the same systems that worked for me to help restaurants grow all over the country.

I'll walk you through the same advertising system that helped me pack out my restaurant and show you how we can install it into yours.

Frequently asked questions

What if it doesn't work? 30-day money-back guarantee!
We are restaurant owners and we know what it's like to be locked into contracts and given empty promises with no results. That's exactly why we created the 3X advertising system to help restaurant owners that need it. We offer a 30 day money-back guarantee. If for any reason in the first 30 days you decide this system isn't for you, we'll just give your money back. After the first 30 days, if you aren't seeing the results you expected, you can cancel at any time with 30 days notice.
Do I need a big budget?
No. We'll walk you through smart, local ad spend strategies that work even with smaller budgets. On your demo call, we'll discuss how we scale ad spend in a profitable way.
What's included?
Monthly photo & video shoots. Scheduled posts on Facebook, Instagram & TikTok 5x a week of your actual food, drinks & ambiance, no copy-pasted graphics from VAs overseas. The expertise of our 7-figure restaurant owner, creating an explosive growth marketing strategy specifically for your restaurant. You get the full 3X ad system, installed, done-for-you. That includes the ad strategy, creative, targeting, setup, optimization, retargeting and management. Everything is handled by someone who's actually scaled restaurants to 7 figures. We have packages for restaurants of all sizes & types, based on your needs.
What are the benefits of the system?
You will get tens of thousands of local views of your real food, drinks & ambiance. You will get hundreds & thousands of new, local followers that actually visit your restaurant. You will be able to advertise to your local followers for free, forever. You will be able to track & retarget anyone that looks at your photos, videos, profile & website. You will get more private events & catering bookings. You will get more no-commission online orders.
What's different about your system?
Our 3X advertising system is customized for every client to fit your needs, your concept, your cuisine, your demographic and your city. We create ads based on an explosive growth strategy that we create to grow your restaurant where you need it most. This isn't a cookie-cutter coupon program like other agencies.
What types of ads will you run?
On your discovery call, we'll go over the 10 different types of ad campaigns we use to grow your restaurant and increase your revenue. We'll create a custom strategy for your restaurant, as if it was our own. Each ad type has a different goal in mind, from local awareness, to social media follower growth, in-store visits & online orders to private events & catering. We have a proven system that works consistently across different types of restaurants, cuisines, demographics & cities.
What conversions can you track?
Our system can track online orders, reservations made and, incredibly, walk-in visits. This works with your website, your reservation system and your online ordering, whichever you use.
What's the turnaround time?
We plan to have your photo/video shoot within 7-10 days. Once we've got the content and the access to your accounts, we're moving fast. Most campaigns are live within a week of onboarding, and many start seeing results within the first week. In the world of social media advertising, your restaurant can be put in front of tens of thousands of local people within 24-48 hours.
What if I've been burned by another agency?
That's EXACTLY why we created the 3X advertising system. We are restaurant owners, and have been on the other side. We're not going to name names, but we know exactly who you're talking about. Most agencies have never run a restaurant, let alone scaled one to multiple millions. We're operators first, marketers second. That's why this system works. No fluff. No guesswork. Just results built from experience in the trenches.
Do I need to give discounts, freebies, coupons?
F#@* NO! We are restaurant owners, and we HATE discounts & coupons. On our call, we'll discuss how we create promotions that attract the right people that come in and order the most expensive, most profitable, most popular items on your menu. They will pay FULL PRICE and leave happy about it!
Is this a high-pressure sales call?
Not at all. This is a no-pressure strategy session to see if our done-for-you advertising services make sense for your restaurant. If it's a fit, great. If not, no hard feelings.
Will this work for me?
Our proven 3X advertising system works with all different types of restaurants & cuisines. From quick service to full service, franchisees, ethnic cuisine, ghost kitchens & so many more. We have worked with clients in every category listed above and continue to expand into new & unique concepts every day.
Will this work for franchisees?
YES! Each franchise is different, and we are familiar with the rules imposed on franchisees. We will work closely with you to ensure that our strategy is created to work specific to your concept, on brand & within all regulations.
What cities do you work in?
ION Hospitality operates nationwide, with our home base in New York City. We have nationwide photography & videography teams that work all across the country.
Will this work in small towns?
From our experience, our system absolutely dominates in small towns. We've worked in cities with as few as 10,000 people. You will have less competition, lower ad costs, and customers resonate with the content because it's relatable to them, in their city.
Does this work in major cities?
This system will work in any major city in the US & beyond. Our 3X advertising system was developed at Loreley Beer Garden in New York City, where they spent over $500K in ad spend figuring out what works (and what doesn't), so you don't have to.
Do I have to give discounts & coupons?
The answer is STILL NO! We're restaurant owners, and we HATE discounts & coupons. They don't bring the right people. Our system is not based on deal chasers. We focus on bringing in better customers that can afford to eat out more often, spend more each time, and order more expensive items. On your demo call, we'll tell you our secret sauce when it comes to discounts & coupons.
Do you create social media content?
Alongside our 3X advertising system, we have nationwide photography & videography partners that create scroll-stopping content based on our Photo First philosophy developed at our restaurant, Loreley Beer Garden. Photographers & videographers are trained by our team, given shot lists based on your restaurant, menu, cuisine and best selling items. The photography & videography is then edited by our team at ION Hospitality to create content that converts views into sales.
Do you do social media management?
YES! We do offer content creation & social media management with monthly photo/video shoots & a 5x a week posting schedule in our Restaurant Boost & Explosive Growth packages. Our team will handle your social media content and social media management including scheduled posts 5x a week. We use this content to create ad creatives & campaigns and ensure that new customers will see a thriving restaurant when they click your ads.
