Meet The Team You'll Actually Work With
Curbside was founded by John Panghulan, a hospitality marketing veteran who spent years watching talented chefs and restaurateurs struggle to get the visibility they deserved.
After nearly a decade working with some of the most innovative restaurants and hospitality brands, John saw a gap: most marketing agencies didn’t truly understand the unique pressures of the food and beverage world—the razor-thin margins, the importance of turning first-timers into regulars, the need for marketing that works as hard as you do.
So in 2022, John founded Curbside with a clear mission: to be the marketing partner hospitality businesses can actually count on— one that speaks their language, understands their challenges, and delivers strategies that fill seats and boost revenue.
Today, Curbside works with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and catering companies across the region, helping them build brands that stand out in a crowded market and marketing systems that drive consistent growth.
Our Team
We're a tight-knit crew of hospitality marketing specialists—strategists, designers, photographers, copywriters, and social media experts who all share one thing: a genuine love for the restaurant world. Some of us have worked in kitchens, some have managed dining rooms, and all of us have spent countless hours eating our way through the local food scene (tough job, we know). We bring together creativity, strategy, and real-world hospitality experience to create campaigns that actually work.
