Padrino’s restaurants is a third generation collection of Cuban restaurants in South Florida. The pandemic had ravaged the restaurant industry and, not being an exception, the company had also been deeply affected by the situation. The restaurant group had great potential but lacked the resources to properly execute all marketing initiatives. This is not an uncommon scenario in the hospitality industry and in this age of digital marketing which requires a diverse set of skills and specializations which can only be accomplished by a large team. This of course can be incredibly costly and complex to manage. The company needed a team that truly understood their needs and their business to create a new strategy and plan that could catapult the company into steady growth and to the next level.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

Breadth provided a cost effective solution by not only bringing a unique set of skills and over 15 plus years of specific experience in the hospitality industry, but also a team that could execute across all digital channels. It started by evaluating the foundation of the company, looking at each restaurant’s numbers, evaluating technologies being used, team structure, vendors, current strategies and understanding every one of the company’s pain points; be that operational or marketing related. It is extremely important to get a full breadth of view of the business to then successfully create a marketing plan that is aligned with the company’s goals and objectives.

The Breadth team created an annual strategic marketing plan which laid out detailed strategies, tactics and an organized calendar for implementation. Breadth works as an extension of the team and really cares about the long term success of the company. It focuses on growing brand value without sacrificing margins.
