Two programs. One audit. Pick the right starting point.

YAVA is a food-forward brewpub — a wood-fired kitchen and on-site craft brewery built into 8,000 square feet and 300 seats on Market Place Boulevard. Opened February 17, 2026, the concept was assembled by Praveen Kare and Naveen Booma with a leadership stack most independents can’t put together: Patrick Padilla running operations, Alex Ciaburri on the brewery, Bruno Vergara in the kitchen, Kevin Maxey advising on culinary, and Blue Orbit Hospitality consulting on the build-out.

The brand pillars — "Grounded. Inviting. Unapologetically Local." — describe what YAVA actually is in the market: not a brewery that serves food, but a scratch kitchen with a brewery attached, positioned to be the family-friendly cornerstone of a high-growth Forsyth County corridor. Architecture, branding, brewing program, and culinary direction are already in place at a level that took most operators years to build.

What 90 days of operation have proven: the product works. 356 Google reviews at 4.6 stars in three months — roughly four reviews per day, sustained — is a signal almost no new restaurant produces. Press coverage from FSR Magazine, Fox 5 Atlanta, and Dish Around Town landed on schedule thanks to Melissa Libby & Associates. The grand opening happened, ops are stabilizing, the launch party for the "Coming Together" collab beer is on June 11. The fundamentals are sound.

What 90 days have also proven: the digital infrastructure around that momentum is not yet pulling its weight. That’s the gap this proposal addresses.

Our analysis of YAVA Kitchen & Brewhouse’s digital presence scored the restaurant 23/45 (Mid maturity) — a profile dominated by strong brand fundamentals (Branding 4/5, Reviews 4/5) but weighed down by critical conversion and retention gaps (Website 2/5, CRM 1/5, Paid Media 2/5, Analytics 2/5). The bottleneck isn’t demand — it’s the infrastructure that captures and compounds it.

Three findings define the opportunity:

The Reservations nav on yava-us.com routes to /careers-1. The page itself works — it loads the actual reservations content with booking info — but the slug is a Squarespace page-duplication artifact that hurts SEO and looks broken to users mid-click. Combined with no embedded OpenTable widget on the homepage, every booking-intent visitor is one click further from the actual reservation than they need to be. Two-step fix; the larger point is a website that hasn’t been treated as a revenue surface.

356 reviews. Zero email captured. No newsletter signup, no popup, no checkout-style capture mechanism that builds a marketable list. The contact form residual aside, there’s no broadcast channel back to the guests who’ve already walked through the door. Founders Club exists but caps at 100 — it’s a VIP layer, not a CRM.

117 posts. Average engagement 3–20 likes. Posting cadence is healthy, but the content mix is heavy on event promotion graphics and light on food storytelling and brewery narrative. The single best-performing reel hit 436 likes — a 20× lift. The signal is clear: this brand earns reach when the content tells a story instead of selling a date.

We’re proposing two paths against the same audit. Both start with the same 90-day priorities — rename the reservations slug and embed the booking widget, install email capture, shift the content ratio, launch a structured Meta funnel. Both run under one integrated team. They differ in service depth, content production cadence, and the breadth of the retention + reputation + influencer stack layered on top.

RestoLite ($2,000/month) is the streamlined foundation — seven core services scoped to the essentials a brewpub in month three of operation actually needs. Squarespace site optimized (not redesigned). Quarterly content shoots. Foundational on-page SEO. Meta-only paid. Built to be financially survivable while YAVA is still calibrating revenue capacity, with a clear upgrade path to Resto360 baked into the engagement.

Resto360 ($4,500/month) is the full system — twelve services including Influencer & Creator Marketing, Email & SMS, Reputation & Review Management (Sunday.com + sentiment dashboard + 80+ directories), Custom Website Redesign, Hospitality Consulting & POS Optimization. Monthly content shoots. Full Meta + Google + OpenTable paid stack. The version where every service compounds against the others.

You’ll see both options laid out side by side in the Investment section. The 90-day plan, the case studies, the projected growth scenario, and the audit-grounded narrative apply to both — what changes is the depth of execution per service.

Forsyth County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Georgia — consistently in the top ten nationally for population growth, with median household income well above the metro average and a demographic that over-indexes on family dining, craft beverage spend, and event hosting. The trade area around 3001 Market Place Blvd is the kind of address every concept in the category wants and few can secure.

The brewpub category in this corridor is thin. The closest competitive set is independent breweries, taprooms, and casual American operators — most without food at YAVA’s ambition, most without operating leadership at YAVA’s level. The visible differentiator is real: wood-fired kitchen, scratch sourcing, on-site brewing, capacity for private events, family-friendly atmosphere, weekend brunch. Nothing in the immediate area combines all of those.

The opportunity is not to be discovered — it’s to be discoverable on purpose. Right now YAVA is being found by people who already know to look. The next 12 months should make YAVA the answer to "where should we go this weekend" for every household within a 15-mile radius of the door — through paid local awareness, organic reach via reel-led content, search authority on brewpub and family-dining queries, and a retention engine that brings the first-time visitor back two more times before they tell three friends.

The seven signals that emerged from the audit and the live verification of the site, social, and review surfaces. Each one is a specific lever Resto360 is built to move in the first 90 days.

Resto Experience runs two programs under one integrated execution model. We built both inside our own restaurant group — Rreal Tacos, twelve locations across Georgia and Florida — before we packaged them for other operators. Every service in both programs has been pressure-tested on real revenue.

The reason the integrated frame matters for YAVA specifically: you tried the fragmented version. Pre-opening you had MLA running PR, a press cycle that delivered Fox 5 and FSR coverage. Mid-build you had Grub Freaks on social, and stepped away because the back-and-forth created more work than running it yourself. The pattern is consistent across every operator we’ve worked with — the moment you become the orchestra conductor for four vendors in four rooms, marketing becomes a tax on your week. Either of our programs collapses that into one operating team running one calendar against one strategy. The content shot in Week 2 feeds the ad running in Week 4 feeds the email going out in Week 6. Same hands. Same plan.

How the two programs differ:

RestoLite is the right starting program for restaurants in YAVA’s exact stage — real product, growing audience, thin digital infrastructure, still calibrating revenue capacity. Seven services. Quarterly content shoots. Meta-only paid. Squarespace site optimized in place. Foundational local SEO. Designed to install the digital essentials in 90 days at a price point that doesn’t strain a Year-1 brewpub’s P&L.

Resto360 is the full operating partnership for restaurants ready for higher-intensity execution. Twelve services. Monthly content shoots. Meta + Google + OpenTable paid stack. Custom website redesign. Reputation & Review Management (Sunday.com QR + sentiment dashboard + 80+ directories). Email & SMS Marketing. Influencer & Creator Marketing. POS Optimization. Hospitality Consulting. The version that earns out at $200K+/month and unlocks the 1%-of-revenue performance partnership at $350–450K/month.

The 90-day plan in this proposal applies to both. The audit findings drive both. The case studies prove out both. What changes is the breadth and depth of services running — visible in the Scope of Services section (next) where every service card carries a badge showing whether it’s in both programs or Resto360-exclusive, and in the Investment section where the two pricing options sit side by side.

All twelve services available across the two programs. Each card carries a badge: Both Programs means the service is included in RestoLite and Resto360 (with the depth difference noted in the description); Resto360 Only means it’s exclusive to Resto360 (available as an add-on on RestoLite). Personalized to the YAVA situation.

Two case studies that mirror the YAVA situation closely: a recently-opened concept with strong operational fundamentals and a need for structured digital execution. Both worked with us on full Resto360 partnerships.

The plan respects two YAVA-specific realities you raised on the call: the kitchen has three weeks of operational optimization left, and the June 11 "Coming Together" beer launch is a natural inflection moment for the first paid push. We sequence accordingly — Week 1 is onboarding, Week 2 is strategy + pre-production, Weeks 3–5 the engine goes live, Weeks 6–8 the campaigns exit Meta’s learning phase and brunch programming takes the spotlight, Weeks 9–12 scale + 90-day review.

Items marked R360 are Resto360-only (or RestoLite add-on). Everything else runs in both programs.

This is a foundation-building scenario informed by what comparable concepts (Suwanee Social, Showdown Social, Tomo) have delivered on Resto360. Growth depends on marketing investment, operational execution, and how the market responds to a brand that’s now showing up with intent. Modeled in horizons, not promises.

Two pricing options for the same audit. Both month-to-month with 30-day cancellation. Both anchored on the same 90-day plan and the same case-study trajectory. The difference is service depth, content cadence, and the breadth of the retention + reputation + influencer engine running on top.

From signed agreement to first content shoot — here’s how we move.
