Gastocon

Based in Munich, Gastocon is a digital agency working exclusively with hotels and restaurants, describing itself as run "from restaurateurs for restaurateurs." Its team of up to ten people handles projects from start to finish out of its Munich office, positioning itself as a specialist alternative to generalist agencies for hospitality businesses seeking to attract more guests and reduce booking dependency on third-party portals. The agency's service range covers graphic design, web design, and online marketing under one roof. Graphic design work includes menu cards, hotel brochures, seasonal and promotional cards, business stationery, guest and room cards, and print advertising across media. Web design services focus on responsive homepages built for hotels and restaurants, with reservation systems, easy-to-use backends, SEO-optimised websites and shop systems, integration with existing operational systems, and tools for digital workflows. Online marketing covers targeted marketing strategy, management of social media channels and internet listings, search engine optimisation (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM/SEA for paid advertising), and reporting. The stated aim is to turn a hospitality business's online presence — website, social media, and booking tools — into a functioning digital sales channel that ranks ahead of booking portals in search results. Prospective clients are offered an initial consultation before engagement, and the agency also references support in securing digitalisation funding for hospitality businesses.
