Restaurant marketing specialist: Hi, I'm Gabriel Vazquez.
I'm the founder of Conversion Crest and a restaurant marketing specialist. I've worked in the restaurant industry for years, and I help independent restaurants of every kind get found online, fill more tables, and keep regulars coming back. Se habla español.
"I've worked inside a restaurant. I know your marketing has to hold up on a Friday night, not just on paper."
My story
From the restaurant floor to restaurant marketing
I've worked in the restaurant industry for years, including working at a restaurant myself, so I understand guests, staff, and the daily pressure owners face.
As a marketer, I've helped dozens of restaurants with SMS and email marketing, POS setup, websites, digital marketing, design, and reporting. Knowing both the kitchen side and the marketing side means I build things that fit how your restaurant actually runs.
I started Conversion Crest to give independent restaurants direct access to real marketing expertise, without agency overhead. When you work with Conversion Crest, you work with me.
I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, so we can work in whichever language is easiest for you and your team.

Focus
Why I work only with restaurants
Because restaurants are the business I know best. I've worked in one, and I've helped dozens of them with their marketing.
Focusing only on restaurants means I already know your tools, from POS systems to delivery apps, and what makes guests choose one place over another. Fine dining or fast casual, bakery or brewery, you don't pay for a learning curve, and every idea is built for how a restaurant actually runs.
