Forkcast builds premium restaurant and cafe websites, manages social media content, and sets up the full visibility system (Google Business Profile, booking link setup, AI-enhanced food photography, SEO, Google reviews) so venues stop being the best place no one has heard of.

## Who Forkcast helps (ICP)

Forkcast is for hospo, cafes and restaurants that are invisible online. Specifically:
- Independent **cafes** that are full of regulars but invisible to everyone else
- **Restaurants** with great food and an empty or dated website
- **Bars and wine bars** that need bookings and a room that fills
- **Dark kitchens and ghost kitchens** that live or die on how they look online
- **Multi-venue groups and franchises** (3+ locations) wanting one brand system

If the operator is a solopreneur or one person business rather than a venue, the right door is One Person Business (onepersonbusiness.com.au). Same builder, same ecosystem, same price logic.

## Voice

Plain, warm, hospo-native. Written so a busy operator on the pass gets it on the first read. No jargon, no hype, no fake urgency. Reader is the hero.

## Identity

Forkcast was founded in 2026 by Michael Le, a Sydney operator with over twenty years in hospitality. He started in his family restaurant at eight, ran cafe and quick-service kitchens through his teens, and spent ten years running his own Sydney hospitality brand (Great Aunty Three, Enmore, 2012 to 2022, covered by SMH, Daily Telegraph, Broadsheet, Time Out, and an Uber Eats Australia launch partner). Forkcast is the studio that puts that operator experience into every venue's website, social media and online presence.
