Sahil Sheth · Hospitality Marketing Consultant, India

Hospitality marketing focused on full tables.

I ran restaurants before I marketed them. Now I help restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels across India turn marketing into walk-ins, bookings and orders.

I'm a hospitality marketing consultant, and the co-founder of MarketinCrew's hospitality vertical and MK Studios. My work turns complex marketing into one simple outcome for hospitality brands: more guests through the door, more often.

What problems I solve

Footfall

Dead hours, empty tables

Full on weekends, empty from 4 to 7. We fill the exact windows where your covers are weakest.

Delivery apps eat your margin

Commissions climb while you own no guest data. We build your direct channel back.

Accountability

Marketing nobody measures

Pretty decks, reach reports, empty rooms. Every plan I run reports in covers, bookings and orders.

My story

From the restaurant floor to 100+ brands.

Every stage taught the lesson that runs the next one. Scroll through.

The American Joint, the first restaurant we opened in Mumbai

The first restaurant

Manan and I start American Joint in Mumbai. Real late nights, real food costs, real ratings panic.

Three outlets, and the papers notice

Mid-Day and Bombay Times cover us. The chain works. The agencies we hire to market it do not.

We switch sides

We hated agencies, so we started one, from a first office smaller than a kitchen. Hospitality becomes MarketinCrew's home turf.

The group

Co-founder of four companies.

One group, four businesses. Hospitality runs through all of them, which is why a plan I write can be built, shot, run and measured without leaving the room.

How I work

Four stages, in order.

Every campaign, reel, ad and tool sits somewhere on this line, and gets measured against it.

01

Visibility

Get discovered by the right people on Instagram, Google and the delivery apps.

02

Trust

Reviews, content and credibility that make a stranger book a table.

03

Conversion

Interest into reservations, walk-ins and orders, with funnels that get measured.

04

Retention

Loyalty, database and experiences that bring the same guest back a third time.

The hospitality work

Reels that earn the scroll-stop.

Shot, cut and run by MK Studio, our own content studio. Every one of these is a real client.

MK Studios is our own content studio. 1,000+ shoots for restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels across India and France. This is the work, not the mood board.

Common questions

Owners usually ask me.

What does a hospitality marketing consultant actually do?

I own your marketing function the way a partner would: positioning, content, ads, reviews, loyalty and the calendar that ties them together. One head to hold accountable, a 60-person crew doing the work.

How are you different from an agency?

I ran restaurants for years before marketing them, so we start from your P&L, not a content calendar. And you talk to me, not an account manager three layers away.

What size of brand do you work with?

Mid-size hospitality brands: strong product, around three or more locations, or a serious plan to get there. Smaller? Start with the free audit and I'll point you right, honestly.

What is the free audit?

Send me your Instagram or Google listing on WhatsApp. You get a straight read on what's working, what's leaking and what I would fix first. No pitch, no deck.

Let'swork.

One WhatsApp message. An honest audit of what your brand is leaving on the table. Then you decide.
