AI now shapes perception before your first click. We make sure your restaurant shows up and stands out in every AI answer, search result, and social feed that matters.
HMC International is a boutique communications agency built exclusively for the restaurant and hospitality industry. In an era where AI is reshaping how guests discover, evaluate, and choose where to dine — we sit at the intersection of strategic PR, digital presence, and AI-era visibility.
We understand that in hospitality, perception is everything. From the first AI-generated recommendation to the last word of a press review — we control the narrative across every touchpoint, traditional and emerging.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude "best restaurant for a business dinner in [your city]" — what comes back?
Large language models now scan the market, rank credibility, and generate answers in milliseconds. That answer becomes your guest's starting point — before they ever see your website, your Instagram, or your reviews.
This is the new "before" layer of communications. And most hospitality brands aren't even in the conversation yet.
We change that.
