For Austin

Social media agency for restaurants in Austin, TX.East Austin, South Congress, Rainey Street. One weekly cadence.

The scene Plating Room sizes for in Austin

Why Austin is a Plating Room city.

Austin's independent scene clusters around three corridors — chef-owner bistros anchoring East Sixth and the East César Chávez intersection (Suerte, Justine's, Comadre), low-light tasting rooms and cocktail bars along the south end of South Congress (June's All Day, the Otoko counter), and the Rainey Street food corridor's tasting rooms and standalone cocktail bars (Small Victory, Half Step, Midnight Cowboy, Garage) where walk-ins and a Tuesday tasting flight drive the rhythm. These are 1–2 room chef-owner operations with a Tuesday special, a Friday digest, and a tasting-menu-driven weekend — exactly the rhythm Plating Room was built around. If your room is on that cadence, we ship the content that fits it: pass shots from the line, plate-up galleries, four Reels a month, and the SMS that fills a Wednesday cancellation.

Packages

Four weekly deliverables. Shipped by Tuesday.

The same four weekly deliverables shipped to our Portland rooms, now scoped to one Austin room — Reels, plate-up photography, UGC, and a shared weekly calendar.

Reels
Four short-form vertical cuts a month — pass, plating, nightly specials, the chef on the line.
Plate-up photo
On-location dish and menu photography, color-truthful, print-ready, that survives the lunch rush.
UGC sourcing
Briefs, contracts, and delivery for real diners — content that arrives with social proof already attached.
Weekly content calendar
One shared calendar for TikTok, Reels, SMS, and email — no retainer-scoped mystery work.

How the week actually ships

What 'one Tuesday visit a week' looks like for a 38-seat Austin room on East Sixth.

Tuesday visit
The same cadence we scoped for a 38-seat room on East Sixth — one Tuesday visit, one Wednesday edit-by-5pm, four Reels, eight plates, two UGC spots, eight SMS sends.
Kitchen order
Cuts ship in the order the kitchen moves: prep shot at 3pm, pass at 6pm, plating at 7pm — never the other way around.
Owner inbox
Replies go to a single inbox named after your room, not a thread on someone's phone. Your chef-owner hands it to FOH and walks back to the line.

Lay your room next to the sample week — and we will show you the cuts that book covers.
