in online sales
TL;DR — A 30-day sprint from no digital presence to a grand opening backed by a #1 "Asian" search ranking on day one, 36,743 people reached, and real online revenue inside three weeks.
A New Restaurant. A Tight Deadline. A Competitive Market.
Hoshi Japanese Steakhouse & Asian Fusion was preparing for a grand opening in Wichita Falls with only 30 days on the clock to build a full online presence from scratch. The owner already operated a successful restaurant in Abilene and needed immediate traction in a new, competitive market — not a slow rollout. This was a launch, not a rebrand.
- Experienced multi-location operator entering a new market
- 30-day runway from engagement to grand-opening day
- Zero existing digital presence in Wichita Falls
- Competitive local landscape for hibachi and Asian fusion dining
The Problem: Build a Full Digital Presence in 30 Days — Or Open to an Empty Room.
A restaurant grand opening lives or dies on the momentum of launch week. Without a site, a Maps listing, a social audience, or an ordering system in place, Hoshi risked opening to an empty dining room in a market that didn't yet know they existed. There was no time for a traditional six-month marketing rollout — the grand opening would happen in 30 days whether the digital side was ready or not.
The Strategy: Ship Fast. Rank Day One. Capture Every Diner.
A parallel launch sprint — website, local search, social, loyalty, and online ordering all built, integrated, and live before the doors opened.
A Full Website in Under 4 Days
Shipped a mobile-friendly, sales-optimized site purpose-built for restaurant conversion — menu, reservations, online ordering, and loyalty sign-up all on day one.
Rank Before the Doors Open
