Local PR for Restaurants and Food Businesses
Press release distribution for Sarasota and Manatee restaurants: openings, menus, events, and awards delivered to the local outlets diners actually read.
Food is the easiest local news there is. Openings, new menus, chef moves, events, and awards are exactly what local outlets and their readers want, and what AI assistants cite when someone asks where to eat tonight.
The difference between the restaurant that gets written up and the one that does not is rarely the food. It is whether the newsroom ever heard about it, in a format it could use, with photos it could run.
What counts as news for you
- Openings, relocations, and major renovations
- Seasonal menus, local sourcing stories, and chef announcements
- Events: wine dinners, festivals, charity nights, anniversary parties
- Awards, best-of list wins, and notable reviews
Why this matters now
Dining is the single most asked local recommendation category. Best-of lists and local food coverage dominate what AI assistants cite, and inclusion starts with being covered at all.
We would rather be on a best-of list than in a news story. Can you do that?
Lists are editorial decisions we cannot buy, and anyone who promises placement on one is selling something dishonest. What we can do is keep your news in front of the editors who build those lists, and our monthly plan includes a quarterly pitch aimed at exactly that.
Do photos matter?
In food coverage, photos are half the decision. Send real, high-resolution shots of the dishes and the room with your release; we format and deliver them to each outlet's specs.
