Meta Advertising
At Tableside, we build and manage creative-first Meta campaigns designed for restaurants, bars and hospitality venues. Every ad we create is tested, refined and optimised to attract the right audience and fill your bookings.
Why Paid Advertising Matters for Hospitality Brands
Many venues rely on word-of-mouth or organic content alone, which limits growth. Paid advertising expands your reach, targets your ideal guests and keeps your venue top of mind through every season.
We use Meta’s advertising ecosystem including Facebook, Instagram and Messenger to capture attention, build recognition and drive conversions. By combining this with Google Ads, we cover both discovery and intent, bringing new customers from first click to final booking.
The Creative-First Approach That Works
We combine creative production, audience strategy and data-led optimisation to deliver campaigns that convert attention into bookings.

Meet The Magic Makers
We back our work with real results. Here's what happened when venues like yours trusted us with their marketing.
Storyteller by nature, Organic Specialist by title. Molly is the one making sure your brand sounds like you and that people actually stop scrolling. Originally from the UK with a keen eye for video content that connects. Off the clock, she runs her own baking content channel, so she practises what she preaches.
Brand strategist turned Organic Specialist with a background across some of Australia's biggest names. Kristina brings research-led thinking to every piece of content she creates, making sure it actually lands. She's also a food-obsessed artist who paints foodscapes and creates content about dining out, so hospitality marketing was always going to be her thing.
Graphic Designer with hospitality in her DNA after five years designing across venues at The Sydney Collective. Phoebe lives where food meets design, with Bourdain and Nigella on her shoulder telling her to make another booking. Always hunting marketplace finds, painting, or on a long walk with music.
Golden English Cocker Spaniel, full-time princess, and the real boss of Tableside. Maple splits her days between napping in her oversized fluffy bed and joining the team on coffee runs. Surfy blonde hair, zero work ethic, absolutely runs the office.
Spanish-born, Melbourne-based, and the loudest person in the office. Dave is Tableside's Videographer with 12+ years behind the camera across South America, Europe and Asia. He brings bold energy to every shoot and even bolder energy to the studio.
Jasmina is a passionate hospitality marketer with over 10 years of experience driving growth for venues through smart, story-led digital strategies. With a deep understanding of the industry, she brings creative vision and marketing expertise to help hospitality brands evolve, connect, and thrive.
Chef-turned-strategist with 11 years on the tools in hospitality. Jamie co-founded Tableside because he saw too many great venues let down by average marketing. His thing? Helping venues stop guessing and start understanding exactly how customers find them, book them, and come back. Outside of work, he's into photography, wine collecting, and ticking countries off the travel list.
Leah Mulcahy is a digitally savvy marketing executive with a background in food and beverage. Originally from Ireland, she brings experience in content, social strategy, and account management—supporting hospitality brands with creative thinking and data-led execution.
Colombian, energetic, and probably the clumsiest person you'll ever meet. Valeria is Tableside's Marketing Executive with a consulting brain that loves data just as much as creative. When she's not buried in campaign numbers, she's chasing half marathons, riding roads, and eating her way through Messina.
