Separate the work before the budget

Costs by service.

A package fee is not the price of every service inside it. We only show a separate fee when the source publishes one. Do not add bundled rows together or treat management fees as including ad spend. Missing prices mean this research has not established a rate, not that the work is free.

A few useful answers

Common questions.

Is a new website included?

The cited Performance plan includes upkeep and minor improvements. Full redesigns and custom development are separately quoted.

Does a higher tier guarantee more reservations?

No. Package scope is not a promise of sales or reservations. Set measurable goals and assess results against the restaurant's actual capacity.

Evidence, not promises.

Published packages can change. Confirm a written proposal with the provider before budgeting. Prices do not establish quality, ranking, or likely results. Ask for comparable client references and a measurement plan before hiring.
