Sydney restaurants don't need more marketing — they need marketing built for Sydney.
Sydney is the most competitive restaurant market in Australia. Surry Hills, Newtown, the CBD, Parramatta, Bondi — every dining precinct is packed, every "near me" search returns ten strong options, and aggregators like Uber Eats and Menulog take a cut of every order that goes through them. EatApp helps Sydney restaurants get found, take direct orders, and fill more tables — with AI-powered websites, local SEO, and the full marketing stack, managed by one Australian team who have worked with Sydney venues for 15+ years.
Be the restaurant Sydney searches for
From Surry Hills to Parramatta, Newtown to the Northern Beaches — a managed marketing partner that actually understands Sydney hospitality.
Generic marketing won't cut it here
Aggregator saturation
Uber Eats, Menulog, and DoorDash dominate CBD and inner-west search results. Every order through them costs 25–35% in commission and gives you zero customer data.
Suburb-level search is fragmented
Greater Sydney has 650+ suburbs. A diner in Chatswood is searching completely differently from a diner in Bondi. A generic "restaurant marketing" strategy won't rank you in any of them.
Agencies that don't know hospitality
Most Sydney agencies are generalists. They'll sell you a website and some ads, but they don't understand function enquiries, seasonal menus, Friday-night covers, or the delivery-vs-dine-in split.

Suburbs and precincts we work across
We work with restaurants, cafés, and bars across Greater Sydney — from harbourside fine-dining to suburban cafés to multi-location franchises. Local SEO and Google Ads are optimised suburb by suburb, because what works in the CBD won't work in Penrith.
Not listed? We cover every suburb in Greater Sydney, plus the Central Coast, Wollongong, and the Blue Mountains.

It depends on suburb competition and scope. Sydney CBD, Surry Hills, and Bondi have higher local-SEO competition than outer suburbs, so they typically need more investment to rank. Most Sydney restaurants we work with are on a single monthly fee that covers website, local SEO, ads, and email/SMS — no lock-in, no surprise charges. Start with the free audit and we'll quote your specific situation.
60–90 days for meaningful improvement in most suburbs. CBD, Surry Hills, and Newtown are harder because of density — you may need 3–6 months to reach the top 3 on Google Maps for competitive terms. Less-competitive suburbs (outer Sydney, Hills District, Sutherland Shire) often move into the top 3 within 60 days.
Yes. The strategy is to shift a portion of your orders off aggregators and onto your own direct ordering channel — protecting your margin and capturing your customer data. We typically see 30–50% of online orders migrate to direct within 6 months when the website, ordering, and marketing are all working together. You keep aggregators for acquisition; you own your repeat customers.
All of Greater Sydney, plus the Central Coast, Wollongong, and the Blue Mountains. We work with CBD fine-dining, inner-west cafés, suburban pizza shops, multi-location franchises, and everything in between. Local SEO is optimised suburb by suburb, so whether you're in Cronulla, Parramatta, or Hornsby, the campaign is built for that specific market.
Yes. Function and event enquiries are a specific strength — we build dedicated function landing pages, track function-specific Google Ads campaigns, and use email and SMS to stay in front of corporate bookers. Several of our long-term Sydney clients get 30%+ of their revenue from private functions, and their marketing setup reflects that.
EatApp is Australian-based with clients across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional Australia. We operate remotely but meet Sydney clients on-site where useful — and you'll have a single Australian point of contact, not an offshore account manager.
