Restaurant PR Agency

Running a restaurant, whether newly launched or an established business or brand, means facing fierce competition and tight margins, to name a few challenges. You need more than just awareness. You need tables filled, reservations booked, and a buzz that keeps customers coming back for more.

At Kith&Kind PR, we understand the hospitality landscape inside out. We don't deal in vague promises of exposure. We guarantee our results. Whether you are launching a new concept, revitalising a local favourite, or rolling out a franchise nationwide, our strategies are designed to increase awareness, curate a loyal customer fanbase, and drive tangible footfall and revenue.

We treat your business like it’s our own. Our team becomes part of your ‘kith’, working relentlessly to secure the top-tier food reviews, influential visits (not just any influencer), and press coverage that you deserve. With us, you get a partner who is as committed to your service as you are to your food.

Reputation Management: We proactively protect your online presence to ensure positive perceptions prevail.
Chef PR & Profiling: We champion your culinary talent by positioning your head chef and their team as a celebrated taste maker and a local celebrity.
