We help local restaurants stand out like the big chains do
LocalSpot.ai exists because we got tired of watching incredible local restaurants lose customers to large chains with unlimited marketing budgets.
Why We Built This?
I'm Maria, and I started LocalSpot.ai after watching too many talented restaurant owners struggle with the same problem: chains have entire marketing teams and million-dollar budgets. You have… yourself, and whatever time you can squeeze in between services.
The existing solutions? Either:
- Too expensive – $2,000/month+ before you see any results
- Too complicated – Requiring a full-time person just to manage the platform
- Too corporate – Built for Chipotle, not your neighborhood spot
I spent 5 years asking: “Why can’t a family-owned restaurant in Tampa have the same marketing tools as Olive Garden?”
The answer? They can. Someone just had to build it for them.
What Makes Us Different
We actually understand restaurant reality:
- You’re slammed during service and don’t have 3 hours to set up campaigns
- Every dollar matters when you’re managing food costs and labor.
- You opened a restaurant to cook great food, not become a marketing expert.
- “Maybe next month” really means “I can’t afford this right now”.
So we built something different:
- 20-minute setup – Not 3 weeks of onboarding.
- Runs on autopilot – Set it once, it works forever.
- Month-to-month pricing – No 12-month contracts. Cancel with 30 days notice.
- Your money stays yours – No revenue share. No commission. No hidden fees.
Our Mission
Local restaurants are the soul of a community. When a neighborhood spot closes, something irreplaceable is lost.
We believe the best food shouldn’t lose to the best marketing. We believe independent restaurants deserve enterprise-level tools without enterprise-level prices.
Most importantly: When local restaurants thrive, entire communities thrive.
What We Do
LocalSpot.ai is marketing automation built specifically for independent restaurants:
- Get found on Google – Dominate local searches so customers find YOU, not chains.
- Capture your customers – QR-based VIP programs that turn visitors into regulars.
- Fill empty tables – Automated SMS that brings people in during slow periods.
