Social Media for Restaurants
Fill your calendar with on‑brand posts that showcase dishes, specials, and reviews — in minutes.
Restaurants live on visibility. The plates leaving your kitchen tonight are the strongest marketing you have — but only if they make it onto Instagram, Facebook, and the rest of your feeds before the customer who would have booked tomorrow scrolls past. Draftovo generates up to 30 branded social posts a month (by plan) for restaurants: tonight's special with a real reservation link, behind-the-kitchen chef moments, branded review highlights, and reservation reminders. Every post uses your restaurant's colors, logo, and voice — then publishes to every platform you connect on the cadence that actually fills seats.
Why restaurants struggle with social media
The patterns we see over and over — and how Draftovo fixes each.
The kitchen is the priority
Service starts at 5pm. Front-of-house turns tables until midnight. The window for posting tonight's special closed three hours before service started.
Generic food content doesn't book tables
"Hope you're hungry!" doesn't fill Tuesday. Specific posts about tonight's dish, with reservation links, do — but who has time to write five of those a week?
Reviews stay on Google
Your 5-star reviews sit on Yelp and Google where new customers see them once. Repurposing them as branded Instagram tiles takes hours.

Every content type restaurants actually need
Draftovo doesn't just write captions — it picks the right post format for the moment.
- Tonight's special
"House-made gnocchi with truffle pesto, $24, book a table" — branded with your logo, posted at 3pm.
- Chef spotlight
"Chef Ana plating tonight's seasonal salad" — humanizes your kitchen and makes a scroll-stopping branded post.
- Review highlight
Real Google review repurposed as a branded review tile with your colors and reservation link.
- Reservation reminder
"Mother's Day reservations are 80% full — book by Friday" — auto-timed urgency.
- Menu reveal
"New summer menu drops June 1 — first look here" — built around a soft-launch teaser.
- Behind-the-bar
Cocktail-of-the-week with the recipe story and a "Try it tonight" CTA.
Frequently asked questions
Which platforms can Draftovo post to?
+
Draftovo publishes to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Threads from a single dashboard — every post rendered natively for each platform.
I don't have professional food photography. Will Draftovo work?
+
Phone photos work fine. Draftovo generates branded design overlays, menu cards, and text-driven posts that look professional even without a photographer. If you have a few hero shots, even better — Draftovo will rotate them through the month.
Can I push out specials and events on short notice?
+
Yes. You can generate a one-off post in under a minute — "tonight's special is corn risotto" — and Draftovo will write the caption, design the post, and publish it to every platform you've connected.
What about multi-location restaurants?
+
Enterprise plans support multiple brand kits, so each location can have its own posts, schedule, and reviews while sharing top-level branding. One dashboard manages the whole group.
How does this compare to hiring a restaurant marketing agency?
+
Restaurant-focused agencies typically charge $1,500–$4,000/month for 12–20 posts plus a strategy call. Draftovo ships 10–30 posts a month at $39.99–$199.99/mo, generated in your brand voice. If you need a human strategist or paid-ad management, agencies still help — for the day-to-day content engine, Draftovo replaces the workflow.
