Embargo

Definition

An agreement with journalists that they can receive information in advance but cannot publish it until a specific date and time. Embargoes give media outlets time to prepare their coverage while ensuring coordinated, simultaneous release of news.

Why It Matters for Restaurants

Embargoes are commonly used for restaurant openings, major chef announcements, and award reveals. When ChowPR announces a new restaurant opening under embargo, we give trusted journalists early access to the space, menu, and chef for interviews — then all coverage drops simultaneously on opening day for maximum impact.
