I help independent restaurants attract new guests, sell more of their best dishes, and position themselves as a must-try spot.
Ruchi built the complete brand systems for my two supplement brands and consistently translated abstract ideas into clean, differentiated designs that were immediately usable. She has sharp design instincts, is highly responsive, and communicates clearly, which makes her exceptionally easy to work with and reliable under tight timelines.

Running a restaurant is not for the weak.
Between rising food costs, high rent, staffing shortages, and constant turnover, it’s harder than ever to stay profitable.
Statistics show that 17% of restaurants fail within their first year, and nearly 80% of fail within five years.
But if you're still standing, you're doing something right.
"You’re the maintenance man, the manager, the host, the server, the cook. You're a little bit of everything."
~ Tristan Wraight,
chef-owner of Oakhart Social
You've mastered your menu.
You've built a stunning space.
You deliver great service.
But if your photos don’t sell the experience, your branding isn’t elevated, and your online presence doesn’t reflect your quality, people won’t know why they should choose you.
How will tourists know that your pasta is the best in town?
How will couples picture date night in your space?
How will friends discover your cocktails for girls' night out?
When your online presence and branding isn't working for you, you're losing business, every single day.
It's time to revamp your restaurant.
In just 30 days, I help restaurant owners attract more guests, increase sales of high-margin dishes, and position their restaurant as a must-try spot with my done-for-you Busy & Branded Restaurant Revamp.

The 30-Day Busy & Branded Restaurant Revamp
The 5 Phases of your restaurant transformation, in detail.
01 / Define Your Direction
Day 1-3
To start, I’ll ask you things like: Where are you right now? Where do you want to be? What makes your restaurant stand out from the competition? From this, I’ll highlight exactly what makes your restaurant one worth choosing and returning to, and come up with a plan to spotlight those special moments. This might be your spectacular service, fancy wine collection, romantic lighting, or whatever else people love about your restaurant. Once we’ve figured out the desired vibe and direction, I’ll get started designing branding materials so I can help you raise the perceived value of your restaurant and attract more guests.
02 / Show Off Your Space
Days 4-7
In this phase, we will visually elevate your restaurant. I’ll photograph your high margin dishes in a way that excites guests to try something new and share it on Google and socials, bringing you more business. I’ll also capture cooking and behind the scenes moments to show that your food is made fresh in a spotless kitchen, so your guests won’t worry about cleanliness or food poisoning. Next, I’ll photograph the ambiance and the guests interacting. By showcasing your beautiful interiors, guests can picture themselves enjoying a date night, or grabbing drinks to unwind after work here. All of these photos will be handed off to you in a headache-free, organized digital library, ready to use for marketing, menus and promotions. So when you want to open a new location, or make a post about trivia night, you’ll have an amazing collection of beautiful images ready to choose from.
03 / Elevate Your Brand
Days 8-14
If you specialize in authentic Italian cuisine, or if your focus is organic farm-to-table dishes, you want your guests to pick that up right away. By refining how your restaurant is perceived to someone scrolling on Google, I will create a clear and consistent look that tells guests what kind of experience they can expect. I’ll apply your new branding across real touchpoints that guests interact with: menus, signage, Google, and social media. Everything will work together to communicate your restaurant’s concept: casual vegan-friendly brunch, a fancy sit-down dinner spot, or anything in between. When your brand looks established, pricing feels justified, higher-value guests feel satisfied, and new diners are more likely to return. Over time, this consistency makes your restaurant easier to remember, recommend, and choose again.
04 / Get Chosen Online
Days 15-20
It’s time to show everyone what your restaurant is all about with a transformed online presence! I’m going to revamp your Google Business Profile, so you’ll reach more potential guests every time they search ‘restaurants near me.’ Your new photos paired with your updated online presence will push you to the top of search results and beat out your competition. It will also increase trust, making guests feel like they can eat at your restaurant and expect quality, freshly made meals. I’ll also show you how to encourage happy diners to share their experience online, getting you closer to the five-star restaurant of your dreams and attracting more local guests.
05 / Stay Top of Mind
Days 20-30
People go to social media to decide if a place is worth going to. They want to see what the food and space really look like, and if it’s somewhere they’d spend their money. That’s why I’ll take the photos and branding we’ve come up with to roll out a social media strategy that is clear and helps convert viewers into diners. I’ll help you drive more traffic without you having to figure out the algorithm on your own, with scheduled posts and templates in place. After that, you’ll feel empowered to continue posting on your own because you'll be equipped with a tried and true strategy that works. You’ll know exactly what to post and when in order to attract more customers and generate more buzz around your new dishes.

Hi! I'm Ruchi, founder of Chizel Studios.
I’ve worked as a designer across healthcare, e-commerce, higher ed, tech, and finance, but what really gets me out of bed in the morning is helping small businesses grow.
I come from a family of small business owners, so I’ve seen firsthand how strong branding and online presence can take a business from good to truly stand-out. After trying so many restaurants with incredible food but weak online presences, I noticed how many were being overlooked online, and how much business was being left on the table. This disconnect is where I found a clear opportunity to help.
I specialize in branding, visual identity, and photography to help restaurants look as good online as they feel in person. Through Chizel Studios, I partner with restaurant owners to transform their presence and make it easier for the right customers to choose you, recommend you, and keep coming back.
If you’ve put everything into your restaurant, I’ll help make sure it shows.
