market your restaurant in 10 minutes a day

“Peaches has created a social media plan that is blowing my mind. I had no idea it could be this easy and amazing!

She has worked in the food biz in this area for years, and she knows what she's talking about. She worked with me to really get the personality, voice, vibe, history, and style of my restaurant, and then put a plan together for me that will engage with our customers and is focused on increasing revenue. Measurable revenue from posts. I had no idea!

What she's doing is a definite up-level. You won't regret sitting down with her for an hour for a consultation.” Rae Mosher

The book recalls Peaches’ time as a stripper and how that experience has informed her 27-year career in food service, mostly in the Triangle area. Part sales course, part memoir, and part survival guide, it pulls the curtain back to show the challenges women face working as strippers – and in restaurants.

“An engaging and entertaining read.” Gabe Barker, Pizzeria Mercato

“A brave and thoughtful examination of how dangerous the restaurant industry is for women and femme workers.”

Madison Burns, Chapel Hill/Carrboro Workers’ Coalition
