BRAND AUDIT for RESTAURANTS
and HOSPITALITY BRANDS
Before you invest in a new website or a redesign, find out exactly what's working, what isn't, and what to fix first.
Running a restaurant means your brand is working in multiple places at once — your website, your Instagram, your printed menu, your signage. When those pieces don't look like they belong to the same business, your guests notice, even if they can't say why. It erodes trust before they ever walk through your door.
A Brand Clarity Audit is a professional design review of the visual elements that shape how your restaurant or hospitality brand is perceived. Depending on where you are in your business, you may need a review of your social media presence, your website, or both together. Each tier includes a written PDF summary of my findings and a private 1:1 Zoom session — so you leave with clear, actionable next steps, not just a document.
Start with the Diagnostic, or go straight to the audit tier that fits where you are right now.

Brand Audience Diagnostic — $147
For the business owner who's ready to invest in their brand — but wants to make sure they're talking to the right people, in the right places, before they do.
You've been showing up — on Instagram, maybe Facebook, possibly a website — but you're not sure it's working. You don't know if your audience is actually there, or whether the energy you're putting in is going to the right places. Before you invest in a new website or a visual rebrand, let's find out who you're really talking to and where they're looking for you.
I'll review your intake form, meet with you on a call, and deliver a written audience profile and platform map — so you know exactly where to focus and what to stop wasting time on.
You'll leave with a clear picture of your audience and a prioritized list of where to show up next — not a generic marketing plan, but a specific direction based on your actual business.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Included:
16-question async intake form (completed before our call)
Pre-call review and analysis of your answers
1:1 Zoom synthesis call (up to 45 minutes)
Written PDF with your audience profile, platform priority ranking, and headline finding
3–4 recommended next actions tied to your specific goals
Post-call email recap
Not Included:
Visual brand review or design feedback
Logo, typography, or color assessment
Social media content strategy or content calendar
Website review or copywriting
Any implementation — this is a clarity and direction service
Not sure which audit is right after this? The Diagnostic is designed to tell you exactly that.
-
Brand Presence Audit — $197
For the business owner who's active on social media but hasn't launched a website yet — or wants to know whether their visual brand is actually working before investing further.
You've been showing up consistently — but something still feels off. The pieces don't quite connect, and you can't put your finger on why. I'll review your logo, typography, color palette, and social media visuals to identify exactly where your brand is losing cohesion, what design decisions are working against you, and what to do about it.
You'll leave with a clear visual direction — not just a list of problems, a specific direction based on your actual business.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Included:
Pre-call review of your visual brand and social media presence
Written PDF with findings, design direction, and prioritized recommendations
Typography and color palette assessment
Social media visual consistency review
1:1 Zoom walkthrough of your PDF (up to 45 minutes)
Post-call email recap with next steps
Not Included:
Brand strategy or positioning work
Logo redesign or new visual identity creation
Copywriting or messaging review
Website review (see Website Audit or Full Brand Clarity Audit)
Any implementation — this is a design direction service
-
Website Audit Starting at $297
For the business owner who has a website — whether you built it yourself or had it built — and you suspect it isn't doing the work it should.
You invested real time and money into your website. But something still feels off — visitors aren't staying, the design doesn't feel cohesive, or it simply doesn't look like the business you've become. I'll review your visual hierarchy, typography, color palette, imagery, layout, and the structural decisions that determine whether a visitor stays or leaves — including whether your hero section is communicating clearly and your calls to action are actually working. You'll leave knowing exactly what to fix, in what order, and why.
Your website doesn't need to be on Squarespace for me to audit it. However, if you'd like me to implement the recommended changes after our session, your site will need to migrate to Squarespace — it's the only platform I work on.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Included:
Pre-call review of up to four website pages (Home, About, Services, Contact)
Written PDF with findings, design direction, and prioritized recommendations
Typography and color palette assessment
Visual hierarchy and layout evaluation
Hero section and CTA effectiveness review
Imagery selection and placement feedback
1:1 Zoom walkthrough of your PDF (up to 60 minutes)
Post-call email recap with next steps
Add-ons:
Additional pages beyond four — quoted separately
Implementation of recommended changes (Squarespace only) — billed at applicable service rate
Not Included:
SEO audit or keyword strategy
Copywriting or messaging review
Brand strategy or positioning work
Social media or off-site brand presence (see Full Brand Clarity Audit)
Any implementation — this is a design direction service
-
Full Brand Clarity Audit Starting at $447
For the business owner who wants the complete picture — how your brand shows up everywhere your audience might find you.
Inconsistency is one of the quietest credibility killers in a small business brand. A website that doesn't match your social presence. Typography that shifts from platform to platform without intention. These things register subconsciously with your audience even when they can't articulate what feels off. I'll review your visual brand identity, social media presence, and website together — looking for gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities across every touchpoint your audience sees.
You'll leave with a cohesive visual direction and a clear system for making design decisions going forward — across every platform, every piece of content, every touchpoint.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Included:
Pre-call review of your visual brand identity (logo, color palette, typography)
Social media visual presence review (up to two platforms)
Website design review (up to four pages)
Written PDF with findings organized by area and prioritized recommendations
Typographic assessment — hierarchy, pairing, consistency, and intentionality
Color palette cohesion review across all touchpoints
Imagery and visual consistency evaluation
1:1 Zoom walkthrough of your PDF (up to 90 minutes)
Post-call email recap with next steps
Add-ons:
Additional website pages beyond four — quoted separately
Additional social media platforms beyond two — quoted separately
Implementation of recommended design changes (Squarespace only) — billed at applicable service rate
Not Included:
SEO audit or keyword strategy
Copywriting, messaging, or brand voice review
