Growth Infrastructure for Restaurants, Caterers & Food Brands

Solve Design Create LLC helps restaurants, caterers, food trucks, bakeries, and specialty food brands build the digital infrastructure required to fill tables, capture high-margin direct orders, and dominate local search—instead of bleeding revenue to third-party delivery apps.

In food and beverage, the product is rarely the problem. The kitchen is dialed in and the regulars love you. The problem is everything around the plate: who finds you, who owns the customer relationship, and how much margin disappears before the food ever leaves the building.

The Delivery App Tax & the Empty-Table Problem

Most food businesses don’t fail on flavor—they get squeezed by a broken acquisition model where someone else owns the customer and skims the profit. We solve the growth killers specific to this industry:

The delivery app tax — surrendering 15–30% of every order to DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub, who also keep the customer data so you can never market to that diner again
The “near me” blind spot — not ranking in the map pack for “best [your food] near me,” so hungry, ready-to-spend locals walk into a competitor instead
Missing the high-margin orders — capturing low-ticket walk-ins while competitors intercept the searches that actually pay: catering, private events, large orders, and specialty services
No direct relationship — no email list, no loyalty loop, no first-party data; every slow season starts from zero instead of from your own audience

We Build Food & Beverage Systems

Consistent covers and orders require a system where discovery, craving, and frictionless ordering reinforce one another. We build that across three connected disciplines:

AI & GEO: Making sure you’re the recommended answer when hungry locals and event planners ask AI assistants and search for the best places to eat, cater, or order in your area.
Strategies & Systems: Building first-party email and loyalty loops, seasonal campaigns, and catering/event funnels that turn one-time diners into repeat revenue you actually own.
Conversion Tech: Fast, appetite-driving websites with direct online ordering, interactive menus, and reservation flows that keep the margin in your pocket—not the app’s.

Proven in the Food & Beverage World

We don’t theorize about restaurant marketing—we’ve driven real covers, orders, and rankings for food brands across the spectrum:

Atwater Street Tacos: Took this Flat Rock, MI taqueria to #1 for all of its primary keywords across the Downriver market—then did it again at their second, premium location, ranking them #1 in Monroe a full six months before the doors opened. Beyond the core menu, we rank their seasonal kayak-rental side business, holiday pushes like Cinco de Mayo, and special events—while handling POS integration, SMS and email marketing, and social cleanup. One brand, two markets, total local-search ownership.
Brooks Burgers: Rebuilt the entire website and ran the SEO, GEO, PPC, and marketing strategy for a Naples institution voted the #2 burger in the nation by TripAdvisor (2018)—directing photography and drone media through the brand’s expansion to a fourth location, Brooks Bar & Grille.
Creative Catering Naples: Architected a 48-page content system for an award-winning Naples caterer—building out cuisine collections, event funnels, and experience pages engineered to capture high-margin search intent, including dedicated yacht catering and private in-flight catering service pages that intercept the wealthiest, highest-ticket inquiries in the market.
Seasonal & promotional wins: Run high-intensity holiday-blitz campaigns for local food brands—including an SEO and promotional push that doubled one bakery’s Valentine’s-season sales in a single 10-day sprint.

Different kitchens. Same challenge: getting found, owning the customer, and keeping the margin.
