So you want to write for the Hostme Blog?

The Hostme Blog serves up useful, practical content for restaurant owners, operators, and managers.

We aim to provide restaurant leaders with actionable advice, reliable resources, and innovative approaches to management, marketing, metrics, technology, and trends.

We're always looking for new ideas, authors, and perspectives. Read the guidelines below, then contact our team with your pitch.

The Writing Guidelines

We are interested in pitches about:

• Restaurant Management
• Restaurant Metrics
• Restaurant Marketing
• Staffing & Labor
• Menu Management & Optimization
• Restaurant Technology
• Industry News & Trends

Writing requirements

• The post must be original content and not published elsewhere.
• Match the approachable, practical writing style of the Hostme Blog.
• Use headings to organize the content.
• Submit at least 1,000 words.
• Include no more than 1–2 links to your company's website in the body.
• Provide a headshot, short bio, and relevant social or website links.
• Properly attribute data, quotations, and outside content.
• Be willing to share the published article across your networks.

What We Can't Accept

• Topics already covered on our blog without a meaningfully new angle.
• Link-building schemes or overly promotional content.
• Offensive, inaccurate, or needlessly critical material.
• Pitches from general freelancers without restaurant, food, hospitality, or hospitality-technology experience.

Strong guest posts

The best guest posts are how-to articles, guides, lists, thoughtful opinions, industry trends, and visual stories. They offer original expertise, answer a clear reader question, and provide practical next steps.

The Blog Post Submission Process

If your pitch meets these guidelines, email it to our editorial team. If it is a fit, we will reply with next steps, a tentative deadline, and detailed writing instructions.

The Fine Print

• Submissions must meet the Hostme editorial quality standards to be published.
• Published guest posts may not be republished on another blog, LinkedIn, or Medium.
• Hostme may edit the content and title and update the article later for accuracy.
• Hostme may include calls to action and links to relevant Hostme resources.
