Why Restaurant Marketing Monthly?
Restaurant Marketing Monthly is an industry intelligence journal designed specifically for small, independent restaurant owners who want to take their marketing seriously. This is not a consumer magazine or a casual newsletter. It is a professional trade journal dedicated entirely to the real-world marketing challenges faced by small, independent restaurant owners. Each bimonthly issue is carefully curated, edited, and designed to deliver clear thinking, practical strategy, and usable ideas—without filler, trends-for-trends’ sake, or generic advice meant for big chains.
This Journal Is For You If You Are:
- A small, independent restaurant owner or operator responsible for attracting and retaining customers
- Managing marketing decisions yourself—or closely overseeing them
- Looking for clear, practical marketing strategies, not generic business advice
- Interested in understanding why certain tactics work, not just copying trends
- Willing to invest a modest monthly amount in serious, professionally edited insight
- Tired of noisy blogs, shallow newsletters, and one-size-fits-all advice
This Journal Is Not For You If You Are:
- Looking for quick hacks, viral tactics, or social-media-only advice
- Running a large national chain with centralized corporate marketing
- Interested primarily in recipes, food photography, or lifestyle content
- Expecting consulting, coaching calls, or done-for-you marketing services
- Unwilling to read, think, or apply ideas thoughtfully
- Looking for a free newsletter disguised as a magazine

Donovan Garett, Founder and Editor-in-Chief
I believe small independent restaurants are more than just places to eat. They truly represent the heart and soul of our communities. They unite us in a divided world by speaking the universal language of good taste. Tragically, we've lost 10% of our restaurants to the Pandemic and economic factors. With this magazine, I want to help ensure that small local restaurant owners have the resources and knowledge to succeed in an ever-changing market.
