Hospitality marketing for Singapore restaurants, bars and boutique hotels

HMRA works with Singapore restaurants, bars, cafés and boutique hotels — winning attention in one of the world's most competitive dining markets and driving bookings that arrive direct rather than through the aggregators.

Built for the Singapore market

What we do differently here

Discovery is social-first

Instagram and TikTok drive a huge share of Singapore dining decisions. We build a content and paid-social engine that turns saves and shares into reservations.

Cut aggregator dependence

Chope, Grab, Deliveroo and the OTAs take a meaningful cut. We make direct booking and direct ordering the easiest path so more revenue stays in-house.

High rent, tight margins

With Singapore occupancy costs, empty covers are expensive. We run daypart-specific campaigns for lunch sets, happy hour and weekday dinner to smooth demand.

Tourist and expat demand

Visitors and expats search in English and book fast. We capture that intent with English-first local search, review strategy and map-pack visibility.

Illustrative results

What this looks like in Singapore

Modern Asian restaurant

Tanjong Pagar

Challenge. Strong Instagram following that was not translating into reservations, with most bookings arriving through a commission-charging platform.

What we did. Rebuilt direct reservations with a one-tap booking flow, launched a weekday lunch-set page, and ran paid social aimed at CBD workers within a 2km radius.

+43%

direct weekday reservations in 4 months

Neighbourhood café group

Katong & Joo Chiat

Challenge. Two outlets competing for the same searches, with the newer site invisible in maps and weekend queues masking weak weekday trade.

What we did. Separate Business Profiles and outlet landing pages, a weekday brunch campaign, and outlet-level reporting on covers and average spend.

map-pack profile actions in 5 months

Boutique hotel bar

Marina Bay

Challenge. High OTA dependence for rooms and an underused rooftop bar with little local awareness.

What we did. Direct booking journey rebuild with best-rate messaging, rooftop event and happy-hour pages, and paid social targeting residents and expats.

FAQs

Singapore hospitality marketing questions

How much should a Singapore F&B venue spend on marketing?
Our fees are the same everywhere: a free audit, then the Starter package at SGD 85/week, or the Super Deal at SGD 1,710/year paid once (around 62% below the weekly rate). Advertising budget is separate and stays in your own accounts — most single venues here run S$1,200–3,000/mo in Google and Meta spend. Billing is in GBP; local figures are indicative conversions.
Can you reduce our reliance on Chope, Grab and the delivery apps?
Yes. We make direct reservations and direct ordering the easiest path from search, Instagram and your Business Profile, then retarget people who already know you so more of every bill stays with you.
Is social more important than search in Singapore?
Both matter, in sequence. Instagram and TikTok create the desire; search and maps convert it. We run a content and paid-social engine for discovery and keep Business Profile, reviews and site conversion tight so the demand lands as bookings.
Can you fill specific dayparts like weekday lunch or happy hour?
That is a large part of the work. Lunch sets, happy hour, weekday dinner and weekend brunch each get their own offer, page and campaign, with spend capped by district radius so budget stays in your catchment.
Do you handle multi-outlet groups?
Yes. Each outlet gets its own Business Profile, landing page and reporting line so it is judged on its own covers, while brand consistency and creative production stay centralised.
How long before we see results?
Paid social and paid search typically shift covers within two to four weeks. Organic and review-led visibility builds across three to six months, reported monthly against bookings and channel mix.
