Digital Growth Strategy · Resto360 · Atlanta, GA

Three concepts. One missing layer.

Sixteen years building Atlanta restaurants, three differentiated concepts today, tens of thousands of covers served, press credentials any restaurateur would envy. And not a single guest in a database. This proposal is about closing that gap, together, across the entire group.

About Mission Hospitality Group

Mission Hospitality Group is a family-run Atlanta restaurant group founded by three Akly siblings: Jonathan, Ryan, and Tony. The family’s hospitality story in Atlanta started in 2010 with Three Sheets, the bar-and-cocktails concept Jonathan opened at 6017 Sandy Springs Circle. Three Sheets ran for over a decade before becoming the foundation for Tre Vele in the same space in 2021. Across the group today: three differentiated concepts, sixteen years of building Atlanta restaurants, one Executive Chef (Ian Winslade, Le Bernardin-trained, Beat Bobby Flay winner) as the creative through-line. The dining rooms, the menus, the reviews, the press, the infrastructure all reflect a group that has built carefully and operated well. The piece that has not been built, at any of the three concepts, is the one that compounds: an owned, activated customer database.

The thesis behind the group engagement

Mission + Market · Buckhead · 2018. The American flagship. Chef Winslade won Beat Bobby Flay. 4.7 stars across 1,600+ Google reviews and 2,200+ OpenTable reviews. Resto Experience built this website. The infrastructure is solid; what is missing is the activation layer.

Tre Vele · Sandy Springs · 2021. Italian eatery built on the foundation of Three Sheets, the bar concept the family operated in this same Sandy Springs Circle space from 2010 until COVID. Rooftop terrace, Italian market, espresso bar. Chefs Ian Winslade and Giancarlo Ruiz (Florence-raised). 1,555 OpenTable reviews at 4.7 stars. 26,000 Instagram followers. AJC and Atlanta Magazine press coverage.

Zakia · Buckhead · 2022. Lebanese, named for the Akly siblings’ grandmother and built from her family recipes. Infatuation 8.1/10. AJC three stars. Roughly 1,200 Google reviews at 4.5 stars. 17,800 Instagram followers. One of Atlanta’s most compelling brand stories, told nowhere consistently.

02
The Opportunity

Executive Summary

The audit returned a group average of 25 out of 45 across the three concepts. That score is not a reflection of the food, the chefs, the operations, or the press record. It is a reflection of three specific structural gaps that show up at every concept simultaneously, which is exactly why a group-level engagement makes sense.

The Single Most Important Finding
Across 3 restaurants, tens of thousands of covers, and 16 years of building Atlanta restaurants, the family has built no first-party customer database. No email list. No loyalty program. No CRM at any concept. This is the single highest-leverage gap in the entire audit.

This proposal is also, plainly, a re-engagement. Resto Experience and Mission Hospitality Group have history. We built Mission + Market’s website. We worked together two years ago across the group. Some of that work landed; some did not. We acknowledge it. The agency that proposes today is not the agency that worked with you in 2024. The team is different. The systems are different. The technology stack is different. The way we drive strategy is different. Where the past relationship was reactive, the program we are proposing is consultative: we drive the strategy and the calendar; you give thumbs up or thumbs down on what we put in front of you each month.

The structure of the engagement is a Resto360 group package: one team, one strategy layer, one reporting cadence, three concepts. The economics are calibrated to recognize the group structure and to share upside with the group as revenue compounds. The detailed pricing is in Section 10. The short version: a two-restaurant engagement starts at $9,000/mo base, and a three-restaurant group engagement (recommended) starts at $13,500/mo base, with each concept transitioning to a 1% of net sales performance model once monthly revenue crosses $450,000.

What we are proposing to build first: the customer database. Then a coordinated content engine across all three concepts. Then geo-targeted paid Meta with cross-concept retargeting. Then a website activation layer on what already exists. By Day 90, the group is running a coordinated marketing system, not three uncoordinated marketing situations.

03
The Market

Market Opportunity

Atlanta’s upscale-casual dining market has gotten more competitive every quarter. Buckhead and Sandy Springs are both saturated with credible operators. The differentiator over the next 24 months will not be the food (Mission Hospitality Group already wins on food). It will be the systems that compound around the food: the database, the content cadence, the local search position, and the conversion attribution that lets you spend a marketing dollar and know where it landed.

The CRM gap is also the CRM opportunity. If the group captures 100 new email subscribers per week across all three concepts combined, and converts 15% to a return visit per quarter at a $70 average check, that is approximately $10,500 per quarter in direct email-attributable revenue in the first 90 days, growing as the list compounds. A group-level email program, built once and deployed across three brand voices, multiplies the value of every campaign at no incremental cost.

The paid media gap is bigger. No confirmed paid activity at any of the three concepts. Buckhead’s Q3 and Q4 corporate dining season is the highest-yield paid window of the year for restaurants of this caliber, and the group is currently sitting out. A group-level Meta program with cross-concept retargeting (anyone who has visited Mission + Market becomes a warm audience for Zakia, and so on) compounds the cost per acquisition across the three brands.

The social gap is the most visible. Mission + Market has 15,000 Instagram followers after 8 years. Tre Vele has 26,000 after 4 years. Zakia has 17,800 after 3 years. The flagship has fewer followers than both younger concepts. That number alone opens a conversation.

The Window
Buckhead’s Q3–Q4 corporate dining season is the highest-yield paid window for restaurants in your price range. To be in market by August with the email program live, paid Meta running, and content cadence sustained, the foundation work needs to start in late June or early July.
04
The Gaps

Growth Signals

Six findings from the group audit. The pattern is the point: the same gaps show up at every concept simultaneously, which is why a group engagement compounds where individual contracts would not.

Zero First-Party Data (All 3)
No email capture mechanism, no loyalty program, no CRM confirmed at Tre Vele, Zakia, or Mission + Market. Email form exists at Mission + Market with no evidence of activation. Tens of thousands of guests across 8 years are not on any list.
Build one group-level email platform with three brand voices. Activate the existing Mission + Market form. Deploy capture across all three websites. Post-visit automation per concept. Birthday and anniversary re-engagement at the group level.
Paid Media Absent (All 3)
No confirmed paid activity at any of the three concepts. Meta Ads Library shows no campaigns. Q3–Q4 corporate dining season approaching with no paid presence built. The group is invisible in paid local search for "Italian Sandy Springs," "Lebanese Buckhead," and "American Buckhead."
Group-level Meta program with shared audience infrastructure. Cross-concept retargeting (Mission + Market guests become warm audiences for Zakia and Tre Vele). Geo-fenced campaigns by trade area. Recommended ad spend separate from retainer, calibrated per concept.
Social Underperformance
Mission + Market 15K followers after 8 years. Tre Vele 26K after 4 years. Zakia 17.8K after 3 years. The flagship lags both younger concepts. Combined 60K across the group is well below the audience the press record and dining experience would support.
Content strategy prioritized to Mission + Market first (biggest gap), Zakia second (TikTok opportunity), Tre Vele third (Reels acceleration). Monthly content shoots at each concept. Reels-first cadence with content ownership built into every shoot.
Local SEO Gaps (Concept-Specific)
Tre Vele: Apple Maps unclaimed, website 403s crawlers, generic meta title with no location keyword. Zakia: Yelp primary category is Wine Bars not Lebanese, structurally suppressing food discovery. Mission + Market: brunch menu is a PDF (not search-indexable), no major press refresh since 2018.
Apple Maps claim Week 1. Yelp category change request Week 1. Meta title rewrites with location keywords. Brunch menu rebuild from PDF to HTML. Beat Bobby Flay content integration on Mission + Market. Press page refresh across all three.
Delivery Stack Underbuilt
Tre Vele has no third-party delivery despite an Italian market concept built for off-premise. Mission + Market’s UberEats has been closed since April 2022, four years of missed Buckhead corporate lunch delivery. Zakia is on DoorDash but unoptimized.
Tre Vele: activate UberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub for the Italian market product. Mission + Market: re-enable UberEats with corporate lunch focus. All three: listing optimization, menu engineering, sponsored placement strategy. Available as a TPD Optimization add-on.
Press Credibility Underleveraged
Zakia’s Infatuation 8.1 and AJC three-star reviews are not visible on the owned website. Mission + Market’s Beat Bobby Flay segment generates no current content. Tre Vele’s AJC and Atlanta Magazine coverage sits on press archives, not on the brand’s owned channels. The group is not telling its own story in the places it controls.
Press page refresh on every owned website. Beat Bobby Flay clip integrated on Mission + Market. Zakia’s grandmother-recipe story told consistently across email, social, and website. Earned coverage cycled into paid creative.
05
The System

The Resto360 Growth Program

Resto360 is Resto Experience’s full-service growth program. Twelve services delivered by an in-house team, coordinated under one strategy layer. For a multi-concept group like Mission Hospitality, the program is structured as a single engagement covering all participating concepts, with execution prioritized by where each concept’s gap is widest. Strategy and reporting roll up at the group level. Account management is one relationship across all three brands.

Critically, the program has evolved meaningfully since 2024. The content side is reel-led with content-ownership contracts built into every influencer activation. The review side runs on Sunday.com, where roughly 60-70% of new reviews now come from across our client base. The website side is built on lightweight HTML for performance and SEO scoring. The search side is optimizing for AI-driven discovery (ChatGPT search, AI overviews) alongside traditional Google. The reporting side is built on Toast Marketing Suite, OpenTable + Meta integration, and direct ROI attribution that did not exist two years ago.

Proven Portfolio
Our portfolio median is +74% in monthly sales growth, documented across real client engagements, not projected. Results vary by market, concept, and starting point. But the pattern is consistent: restaurants that commit to the full system grow.
06
What We Do

Scope of Services

Twelve services delivered by an in-house team. Each service compounds with the others. For Mission Hospitality Group, execution is prioritized by where each concept’s gap is widest, with the CRM and email program built once at the group level and adapted to three brand voices.

Social Media Management
Instagram and Facebook across all three concepts. Reels-first cadence with one Reel plus two feed posts per week per account, five Stories per week. Mission + Market gets the heaviest priority given the 8-year flagship still trails both younger concepts on follower count.
Content Creation & Production
Monthly photo and video shoots rotating across the three concepts. AI-assisted post-production where appropriate (transitions, b-roll enhancement). All content owned by the group and routed into a shared creative library for paid ad reuse and TikTok adaptation.
Influencer Marketing
Atlanta food and lifestyle creators activated across the three concepts. Every contract built with content ownership clauses, so the Reel becomes a paid ad asset for months after the post. We have long-term relationships with creators who give us better rates and consistent delivery.
Paid Media — Meta & Google
Group-level Meta campaigns with cross-concept retargeting. Geo-fenced creative by trade area. OpenTable + Meta integration for direct reservation attribution. Recommended ad spend separate from retainer, calibrated per concept based on revenue stage and Buckhead seasonality.
Email & SMS Marketing
The single highest-leverage gap in the audit. Build the group’s first-party customer database from zero. Activate the Mission + Market form. Deploy capture across all three websites. Toast Marketing Suite for conversion attribution. Three brand voices, one platform, one program.
Custom Website
Mission + Market: Resto Experience continues managing the site we built. Tre Vele and Zakia: optimization within the PopMenu environment plus where the platform allows, custom HTML modules for SEO performance and AI-search indexing. Brunch menu rebuild from PDF to HTML for Mission + Market.
Local SEO & Digital Presence
Apple Maps claim for Tre Vele Week 1. Yelp category fix for Zakia Week 1. Weekly GBP posting cadence for all three. Meta title rewrites with location keywords. AI-search optimization (ChatGPT, AI overviews) where most restaurants are not yet competing. Monthly content for keyword authority.
Reputation Management
Sunday.com deployed across all three concepts (we are the top GA client and have partnership pricing). Roughly 60-70% of new reviews come through Sunday at our existing accounts. Strategic review responses with local-SEO keyword integration. AI sentiment summaries on staff and menu performance every month.
Graphic Design Services
Brand guidelines refresh across all three concepts, with the rigor we have applied to recent group engagements (the La Cabana group brand book was 120 pages). Social flyers, menu inserts, event collateral, paid ad creative. The team that delivers today is not the team you worked with two years ago.
3rd Party Apps & Tools
Toast Marketing Suite enablement at both Toast locations (Mission + Market and Zakia). Upserve evaluation at Tre Vele with migration scope if appropriate. OpenTable + Meta integration. Sunday.com setup. GA4 plus Meta Pixel on all three sites. One-time 400-listing digital authority push available.
Consulting & POS Optimization
Quarterly strategy reviews with the Akly siblings and Chef Winslade. Monthly working sessions with the management team. Consultative model: we propose the next 30 to 60 days; you give thumbs up or thumbs down. We drive the strategy, you drive the brand.
Optional Add-On · +$500/mo
Third-Party Delivery Optimization
Strategic management of Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub as revenue channels — not just logistics. Menu structure, keyword-optimized descriptions, promotional campaigns, and in-app ad management. Includes access to our exclusive Uber Eats partnership rate: 20–22% commission vs. the standard 30–32%. Turns delivery from a margin cost into a growth lever.
Optional Add-On · RestoHost AI
RestoHost AI — 24/7 Guest Engagement
An AI-powered guest assistant deployed on your website and social channels. Responds to inquiries instantly, guides guests to reservations, online ordering, catering, and private dining — 24/7 without staff involvement. Reduces lost leads, improves response times, and frees your team from repetitive front-of-house questions.

The Evidence

Proven Results

Three case studies from our portfolio. The first one you already know.

Tomo Japanese Restaurant
Upscale-casual Japanese · Single-location, sustained growth
You Already Know This One

On our call, Michael mentioned that "her stuff has been looking better" when Tomo came up. That comment is the case study. Tomo is a single-location, upscale-casual concept we have managed continuously for several years, with the same suite of services we are proposing for Mission Hospitality Group. The result has been 11 consecutive months of positive year-over-year sales growth, averaging +27% YoY, in a monthly revenue range of $225,000 to $300,000. No event-driven anomalies. No one-time spikes. The pattern is the point.

Why It Matters Here
Tomo’s service mix is essentially the Resto360 program proposed for Tre Vele and Zakia: social, content, paid Meta, local SEO, reputation, email. The trajectory you observed is the trajectory the proposed engagement is built to replicate, this time across three concepts at once.
Corazón by Baires
Upscale single-concept restaurant · Documented year-over-year doubling
Recent ROI Benchmark

Corazón by Baires is a single-concept proof point with documented numbers. Across the three-month window from November 2025 through January 2026, monthly net sales nearly doubled year over year, averaging +95% YoY sales growth. Reservations grew +75% on average over the same period. The growth was not a one-time spike. November 2024 to November 2025: $275K to $520K (+89%). December: $313K to $543K (+74%). January: $283K to $552K (+95%). Sustained month after month.

Revenue per $1 of Marketing
$27K marketing → $744K incremental revenue over 3 months.
Why It Matters Here
Corazón operates in roughly the $300K to $550K per month range, the band Tre Vele and Mission + Market sit in today. The trajectory it produced is what a sustained Resto360 program looks like when the foundation is in place and the marketing engine compounds across paid, content, email, and reviews.

09
The Trajectory

Projected Growth Scenario

These are illustrative ranges, not guarantees. Results depend on consistent ad spend, brand-guideline alignment, and operational engagement with the email and review systems. Conservative against an honest baseline rather than optimistic against a number we cannot defend.

Concept Email List (Month 6) Email List (Month 12) Reviews (Month 12) Paid ROAS Target
Tre Vele ~2,500 subs ~6,000 subs +300 Google 3.0x by Month 9
Zakia ~2,000 subs ~5,000 subs +250 Google 3.0x by Month 9
Mission + Market ~2,500 subs ~6,500 subs +300 Google 3.0x by Month 9
Group Total ~7,000 subs ~17,500 subs +850 Google 3.0x average
The Compounding Read
The first quarter is foundation and infrastructure. The second quarter starts compounding. By Month 12, the group has roughly 17,500 owned email subscribers, roughly 850 new Google reviews, and a paid Meta program with attributable ROAS of approximately 3.0x. None of these numbers exist today. All of them are buildable in twelve months with the program proposed.

The Investment

Investment & The Path to Partnership

Two-Restaurant Engagement
$9,000
base per month · Tre Vele + Zakia · month-to-month with 30-day cancellation
What is included
Tre Vele: $4,500/mo flat retainer, transitions to 1% of net sales once monthly revenue crosses $450,000
Zakia: $4,500/mo flat retainer, transitions to 1% of net sales once monthly revenue crosses $450,000
Group-level strategy and reporting for two concepts
Shared CRM and email program (two brands)
Mission + Market option open at any time, same rate
Same contract terms, same team
Why hybrid pricing? Because we want skin in the game. The flat retainer covers the work we do every month. The performance fee transitions in only once growth from the program shows up in net sales. We earn more when you earn more, and we are calibrated to invest in the work that gets you there.

How the math works. Every concept follows the same model: $4,500/mo flat retainer until monthly net sales cross $450,000. At that point, the model transitions to 1% of net sales for the month. The transition is mathematically continuous — $4,500 equals exactly 1% of $450,000 — so there is no step change at the threshold. Below $450K, the flat retainer covers the work. Above $450K, the fee scales with revenue: $500K = $5,000, $600K = $6,000, $700K = $7,000. Performance applies per concept, not at the group level — each restaurant transitions independently when its own revenue crosses the threshold.

Ad spend is separate from the retainer. Recommended starting budget: $2,000 to $3,000 per concept per month in Meta, calibrated based on revenue and seasonality. Sunday.com platform fees are pass-through (we have GA partnership pricing). 400-listing digital authority push is a one-time charge if elected. Brand guidelines work is included in Month 1 across all three concepts.

About Mission + Market. We understand Mission + Market is currently with another agency and that the immediate engagement may not include it. The recommended option includes Mission + Market because the group economics work meaningfully better at three than at two, and because we built the flagship’s website and know the infrastructure. The price is on the table either way, and the option remains open.
ROI Perspective
At combined group revenue across the three concepts, total program investment at $13,500/mo base + ad spend sits within the 3 to 5 percent of revenue band that defines healthy restaurant marketing spend. We expect that ratio to compress over time as the email program compounds and paid efficiency improves. The performance share kicks in when growth from the program shows up in net sales, not before.
