RESTAURANT PR · KANSAS CITY

Restaurant PR in Kansas City.

Kansas City eats out and then reads about it. A review in Kansas City Magazine, a spot on an IN Kansas City round-up, a Sunday segment on KCTV5. Those are what fill a dining room on a Tuesday in February.

We have been getting Kansas City restaurants into those rooms for more than 20 years. Combined, the KPRC team has more than 35 years of combined experience in PR.

LET’S MAKE HEADLINESSEE THE COVERAGE

What restaurant PR actually looks like.

Not a press release blasted to four hundred addresses. Five things, done by the person you hired.

01

We know which critic covers what, and when they file.

Kansas City has a small number of people whose word moves reservations. We know them, they take our calls, and we do not waste those calls on a story that is not ready.

02

We open the door before you open the doors.

Soft openings, friends and family, the quiet tasting for the three writers who matter. Coverage is built in the weeks before the first guest, not the week after.

03

We get you onto the lists that drive bookings.

Best new restaurants. Where to eat now. Best patios. Best oysters. Those round-ups are the highest-converting real estate in local food media and they are pitched months ahead.

04

We make your chef a name, not a job title.

Founder and chef profiles, bylines, radio, podcasts, awards submissions. People book a table because they know who is behind the pass.

05

We keep you in the story after the opening buzz dies.

Month four is when most restaurants go quiet in the press. That is when a seasonal menu, a bar program or a new hire becomes the reason to call a reporter again.
