Andrea Khoury, CEO of KHOURY PR, shares three easy marketing and PR strategies restaurant owners can use in 2026 to get better results without burning out. The strategies focus on putting a face to your brand, investing in the right local creators, and turning one experience into weeks of marketing content.
Why it matters
For many restaurant owners, marketing in 2026 feels like one more thing on an already full plate. Food costs are up, labor is tight, and margins are thin. Finding ways to work smarter, not harder, when it comes to marketing is trending in 2026 as restaurants focus on what actually drives guests through the door instead of chasing every trend.
The details
The key strategies include: 1) Putting a face to your brand by featuring real people and authentic moments instead of overly polished content; 2) Investing in the right local creators with smaller but highly engaged audiences rather than the biggest influencers; and 3) Turning one great event or promotion into weeks of marketing content and a year of evergreen material by capturing it from multiple angles.
