Restaurant marketing that fills tables on your slow nights
Restaurant marketing should put more people in seats on the nights that stay empty, not just remind the regulars you already have. PostBoard Media puts your restaurant in front of local homes with a premium shared postcard, a strong dish or dollar offer, and QR tracking that shows what actually drove covers. You are the only restaurant on the card, so no competitor is sitting right beside you.
The restaurant marketing problem
Weekends take care of themselves. It is Monday through Wednesday that hurt, when the dining room is half empty, the kitchen is fully staffed, and the fixed costs do not care how many covers you did. A slow night is not just a quiet night. It is rent and payroll you already paid for whether the tables fill or not.
The delivery apps do not fix it either. They take a heavy cut of every order, put your food in a third-party bag, and hand you a customer you never actually meet. You get the margin hit without the relationship, so there is no easy way to turn that one order into a regular who comes back on their own.
And plenty of people in your own town have never walked in once. They drive past on the way home and default to the same two places out of habit. Good restaurant marketing gets your name and a real reason to visit in front of those nearby homes, so a first-time diner has a clear push to try you and a reason to come back.
What PostBoard does for restaurants
One restaurant per card
The shared 9x12 EDDM postcard mails to thousands of local homes with 16 slots and a hard rule: one business per category. You are the only restaurant on the card, so a competing restaurant can never sit beside you and split the hungry reader's attention.
Free professional design
Food has to look good to sell. We design your tile for free, make your dish and your offer look worth the drive, and you approve the proof before anything prints. No clip art, no crowded coupon look.
A strong local offer
Ten percent off does not move anyone. We help you land a real dollar or dish offer, like a free appetizer with two entrees or a set family meal deal, tuned for a slow night so it brings people in without eating your margin.
QR and call tracking
Every card carries a unique QR code and a tracking number, and the offer is redeemable at the table. You can count redemptions and see scans tied to each drop, so you know what the mailer produced instead of guessing. Honest numbers, not hype.

We print and deliver

Watch QR scans come in and count redemptions at the table, so you can see what the drop brought through the door and tune the offer next time.
Restaurant marketing questions, answered
It can, when the offer is strong and the card lands in nearby homes. A physical card sits on the fridge or the counter for weeks, so it stays in front of a family right when they are deciding where to eat. We do not guarantee a specific number of covers, but the QR code and tracking number show you what the drop actually produced.
A real dollar or dish offer beats a vague percentage. Ten percent off does not move anyone, but a free appetizer with two entrees, a family meal deal at a set price, or a specific slow-night special gives people a clear reason to come in. We help you pick an offer that protects your margin and still feels worth the drive.
No. The shared mailer holds one business per category, so you are the only restaurant on the card. Once you claim the restaurant slot for a drop, no competing restaurant can sit beside you and split the attention.
Yes. USPS delivers by postal route, so we can focus the drop on the homes closest to you. The people who live a short drive away are the ones most likely to become regulars, so we aim the card at the neighborhoods that make the most sense for your location.
