The work behind the offer

Built for real business problems.

I'm Hugo. My work at Yanni's Bar & Grill in San Diego spans marketing, event planning, and helping guests find what they want. Here's what you can explore.

Marketing · In use

A newsletter with a memory.

The restaurant's voice, current specials, and past lessons feed the next draft. I edit, build, and check each email before sending.

28 measured sends, February–August 2026. One business, with results reviewed over time.

Customer tool · Live

A clearer starting budget.

Guests choose their event size, menu, and drinks to get an itemized estimate before the first conversation.

Pricing follows the restaurant's rules. Guests and the team have the same breakdown to discuss.

Product discovery · Live

A collection people can explore.

A searchable wine catalog with bottle details and pairings. Guests can find a wine and ask the team about availability.

Live catalog with a walkthrough. The team confirms availability.

These examples come from one restaurant. The problems show up elsewhere too: a service business explaining prices, a shop helping customers choose, or an owner keeping up with marketing.

Meet ServePost

Your next newsletter shouldn't start from zero.

ServePost is the newsletter and content workflow I built at Yanni's Bar & Grill. It keeps the business background, the current story, and your edits connected.

  1. 01

    Keep what matters.

    Your voice, offers, customers, and approved examples live in documents you can read and update.

  2. 02

    Add what's new.

    Bring a special, a customer question, or a story from the week. AI uses that input and your background to draft options.

  3. 03

    Edit. Send. Learn.

    You check the facts and make it sound like you. Publish the finished piece, then save useful corrections and results for next time.
