From cinematic dish storytelling to generative SEO and per experience billing, ExpensiveMeals gives culinary collectives, hotel concierges, and marketing teams the infrastructure to stay fully booked.
Every experience profile orbits the signature dish your team wants guests to crave. Story cards, pairing notes, and service rituals adapt to the tier—whether it's a Michelin legend or a rising chef’s counter.
Modular sections for sourcing stories, preparation choreography, and chef narration keep guests scrolling.
Database constraints ensure every experience spotlights only its most extravagant creation—no menu clutter.
Loop hero videos, 8K galleries, and tasting matrices help guests visualise the evening before they arrive.
ExpensiveMeals layers generative SEO with tier-aware ranking. Michelin icons, luxury experiences, and emerging talent are weighted automatically so concierges and AI agents highlight the perfect match.
AI briefs and auto-published landing pages adapt to trending ingredients, events, and press mentions.
AI groups venues by cuisine, city, and tier so Michelin stalwarts surface differently from concierge-only counters or emerging fine dining.
Structured chef narratives, sourcing, and exclusivity signals feed concierge agents, LLMs, and hotel partners.
Built-in monetisation tracks each experience tier with plan types (Free, Growth, Concierge), monthly rates, and booking-fee metadata—ready for automated billing or manual concierge invoicing.
Link organisations to Michelin icons, luxury experiences, and emerging tastings with automatic plan enforcement and invoicing.
Dashboards reveal demand, search phrases, and storytelling gaps per experience tier and city.
Integrate Stripe, custom invoices, and high-touch outreach flows that close reservations faster.
Choose the ExpensiveMeals subscription that matches the number of restaurants in your portfolio. Billing scales with every active venue.
Answers for restaurant groups, hotel concierges, and marketing teams highlighting premium dishes with ExpensiveMeals.
For Michelin-starred restaurants, we recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, though our concierge service can often secure tables within 48-72 hours. Popular venues like Alinea or The French Laundry may require 1-2 months advance notice during peak seasons.
Our concierge service operates on a transparent fee structure: $75-150 per reservation depending on restaurant exclusivity and party size. This fee covers personalized booking assistance, preference coordination, and confirmation management. No booking, no fee.
We follow each restaurant's individual cancellation policy. Most Michelin-starred venues require 48-72 hours notice. We'll inform you of specific requirements when confirming your reservation. Our concierge team can help manage changes or cancellations on your behalf.
You'll receive email confirmation within 24 hours of our concierge securing your reservation, including restaurant details, confirmation number, dress code, and any special arrangements. We also send a reminder 48 hours before your dining experience.
Many high-end restaurants require prepaid deposits or full tasting menu payment at booking. These deposits go directly to the restaurant, not ExpensiveMeals. Our concierge team will clearly communicate any deposit requirements before finalizing your reservation.
Absolutely. Our concierge team communicates all dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences directly to the restaurant's culinary team. Most Michelin-starred kitchens excel at accommodating vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs with advance notice.
Each organisation receives a single subscription that scales with the number of active restaurants. Add, archive, or reactivate locations whenever you need—pricing updates automatically.
Yes. ExpensiveMeals integrates with leading CRM, POS, and concierge platforms via webhooks and custom API modules so you can sync guest notes and availability instantly.
Our generative SEO engine drafts keyword-optimised landing pages for every city, cuisine, and signature ingredient. Editors can review, localise, and publish in minutes.
