Three structural gaps that hold multi-unit restaurant groups back from scaling their marketing.

Inconsistent local presence across units

Unit 3 has 47 Google reviews. Unit 11 has 8 and a 3.2-star average. One location's Google Business Profile has outdated hours. Another hasn't posted since February. When a customer searches "restaurants near me," they don't see your brand — they see a patchwork of whoever at each location had time to log in last. You can't charge for a premium experience when the digital first impression is a mess.

Franchisee marketing autonomy chaos

Each franchisee runs their own ads. Different offers, different creative, different CPLs — some running discount-heavy promotions that undercut your brand positioning system-wide. The CEO sees 14 different monthly reports and still can't answer: what's actually driving covers? You're paying for marketing across 14 units with no unified accountability structure and no way to reallocate budget to what's working.

Corporate brand standards vs. local relevance

Brand guidelines say one thing. The local operator says the neighborhood responds to different messaging. Both are right — but without a system that enforces corporate standards while allowing local variation within guardrails, you get neither consistency nor relevance. Local ads that violate brand guidelines. Corporate campaigns that miss local context. The result is a marketing program that spends at scale but performs like a small operator.

Passenger and Partner tier deliverables for multi-unit restaurant operators.

  • Local SEO per unit
    Every location optimized for "restaurants near me," cuisine-type searches, and Google Business Profile rankings. Per-unit NAP consistency, review velocity management, and local pack domination — handled at the system level, not unit by unit.
  • Meta + Google ads with location-level budget routing
    One unified campaign architecture across all units, with per-location budget routing. Underperforming units get reallocated spend. New locations get launch campaigns within two weeks. No franchisee running their own ads, no creative drift, no budget waste from overlapping audiences.
  • Brand compliance playbook + franchisee onboarding
    Every new unit onboarded into the marketing OS within 14 days of opening. Brand-approved creative templates, posting calendar, and approved offer structure — so franchisees can execute locally without going off-brand. New location marketing live before the ribbon cutting.
  • Monthly content engine — 8 short-form videos per location
    Eight scripted, on-brand short-form videos per month per unit for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Menu spotlights, behind-the-scenes, event promotion, seasonal campaigns. Every video is location-specific, brand-compliant, and posted on a unified calendar your corporate team can see.
  • Single reporting dashboard across all units
    One dashboard showing lead volume, CPL, review velocity, and ad spend attribution per location — no consolidating 14 agency reports. Board-ready monthly summary with unit-level accountability. You know what's working across the portfolio, not just at HQ.
