The chore

You opened Instagram instead of doing payroll. Again.

Social media is the longest unpaid shift on the schedule. The tools that exist either schedule what you write (still your problem) or post generic slop that doesn't sound like your place. You stopped posting. The algorithm noticed.

8.5 hrs
average per week spent on social by restaurant owners

That's a payroll run, two prep shifts, or a date night.

Algorithms punish silence harder than mediocrity.

62%
of comments and DMs go unanswered for over 24 hours

Your most engaged customers are getting silence.

What changes

One tool replaces three: writer, scheduler, community manager.

Drafts

Posts that sound like your place.

We learn your voice from your reviews, your menu, and the captions you've written before. Every draft has a quality check — voice match, product fidelity, platform fit, novelty.

Voice match scored on every draft. Held when off.
Replies

Comments and DMs handled — without the bot energy.

Drafted replies in your voice, ranked by importance, queued for your eyes. Negative sentiment, dietary questions, and event leads are held for a human. Replies stay approve-first.

Lead and complaint detection always holds for review.
Autopilot

Trust us once, then stop thinking about it.

When readiness checks pass, autopilot publishes posts through connected channels. Anything our safety or quality checks flag comes back to you first.

Global pause, held-post alerts, and manual handoff when needed.
How it works

Three steps. Thirty seconds a day.

01

Snap a photo at the pass.

Drop dishes into your library. We detect what they are, name them, and queue them for the calendar. Works on your phone, the bar iPad, anything with a camera.

02

We draft, in your voice.

Captions, hashtags, scheduling — across connected social channels, with manual handoff where native publishing is not cleared yet. Every draft is checked against your brand voice and platform-specific best practices.

03

Approve. Or autopilot.

Approve each draft while the system learns. Once production readiness passes, autopilot can publish posts; replies remain approval-first.

vs the alternatives

Cheaper than an agency. Less work than scheduling. More yours than a bot.
