Cafes, restaurants and hospitality

Social media for cafes
and restaurants in Bournemouth & Poole

I plan and publish your posts, Reels and menu updates, so your page stays fresh while you run the place. You approve everything before it goes live, and prices start from £250 a month.

The problem

Too busy running the place to post

Service is flat out and your phone is full of photos you never find time to use. The menu online is last season's and nobody has checked the opening hours since the bank holiday. So your page tells people less than the door does.

You might be nodding at these

  • The opening hours online are wrong
  • The menu is out of date
  • You have posted every dish already
  • Your team will not go on camera
  • Quiet weekdays worry you

Why it matters

What a silent page costs you

Guests choose on their phone before they walk in.

  • They check first

    People look at a menu, photos and opening hours before they choose. A quiet page can lose the table.

  • Wrong hours do harm

    Someone turns up and you are closed, and they do not come back.

  • Old menus confuse

    Guests ask for a dish you stopped serving, and tell their friends.

A steady week

A week of posts without you doing the work

I plan a simple weekly rhythm built around what you serve, not around the calendar.

  • Food and drink that looks like your place

    Real photos and short clips of the plate, the pour and the room. No stock pictures, so people see what they will really get.

  • Specials and what is on this week

    A regular post for tonight's special, a live music night or a quiz. People know where to look and what to expect.

  • Reviews and messages answered

    Comments and messages get a quick, friendly reply. A thank you to a happy guest takes seconds and shows the next person you care.

Video

Reels without your staff on camera

Nobody has to stand in front of a lens.

  • AI is always said out loud

    Nothing to film this week? I can build a Reel from your photos and words, and I tell you if AI helped.

Hours and menus

Hours and menus kept right everywhere

The same details on Google, Facebook and Instagram.

  • Matching everywhere

    I keep your hours and menu the same on every platform and update them for bank holidays.

Where you are

Seafront or Quay and what differs

Bournemouth and Poole feel different to your guests, so your posts should too.

How it works

You approve everything

Three steps, and a clear price before anything starts.

    We talk about your place, your busy times and what you would like people to see.

    Plan and setup

    I set up the plan and your profiles, and you agree it before anything goes out.

  3. 03

    Content goes live

    You see every post first. Nothing is published without your yes, month to month with 30 days notice.

Clear packages

Know what you will pay before you ask

Three simple starting points, plus one-off projects. You will always see what is included, what is not and how it all works before you commit.

  • Starter

    from£250/month

    Your profiles set up properly, plus a small monthly content package to keep them active.

  • Growth

    from£750/month

    Regular posts, Reels and short videos, captions, scheduling and a monthly report.

  • Video

    from£1,500/month

    More short-form video and YouTube support every month, for businesses that want video at the centre.

Every package is agreed in writing before work starts. Advertising spend and video production can be separate costs, and I will always say so up front.

What other businesses say about working with me

This review is from a Bournemouth clinic, not a cafe. It shows how I work with a client who is busy all day, and the same steps apply to you.

LairdPage runs all the social media for our clinic, and we couldn't be happier. He takes care of everything, so we don't have to stress about posting or keeping up with trends.

How much does it cost for a cafe or restaurant?

Packages start from £250 a month. The pricing page shows what each one includes, and advertising spend is always separate.

How much of my own time will it take?

Very little. A short call to start, then a quick yes or no on what I send you each week.

Will I see posts before they go out?

Yes. You approve everything, and nothing goes live without your yes.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. It runs month to month, with 30 days notice to stop.

Will it fill my tables?

I can't promise bookings. What I can do is keep you visible, with the right hours and menu, so people find it easy to choose you.

Will it suit a small cafe, a bar or a hotel?

Yes, and I change the approach for each. A cafe might lean on daily specials, a bar on events and a hotel on rooms and the view. Have a look at my Bournemouth and Poole pages for how it works in each town.

Can you keep my menu and opening hours right?

Yes. I keep them matching across your Google listing, Facebook and Instagram, and update them when you tell me something changes.

Do you run paid adverts?

No. I do not run paid adverts. My packages cover posts, Reels and short videos, so there is no advertising spend to budget for.
