# Social media for restaurants, run from the pass

> The special changes, the menu evolves, the kitchen has stories, and none of it gets posted because it's Friday and you're slammed. posthell turns one note into the posts and drafts your review replies.

Nobody has less time to post than a restaurant owner, and no business gets judged harder on a dead Instagram. posthell's AI team runs the feed from what is actually happening: text it the special, the new menu item, or the story from last night's service, and it writes the Instagram caption, the Facebook post, and the Google Business update. Reviews land in the same inbox with replies drafted for your tap.

## One note becomes the week's posts

The owner's note: "pumpkin ravioli goes on the menu friday, squash comes from the farm stand two streets over"

- Instagram draft: Starting Friday: pumpkin ravioli. The squash comes from the farm stand two streets over, which means it was in the ground this week. Some dishes deserve a season, not a permanent menu slot.
- Facebook draft: New on the menu this Friday: pumpkin ravioli, made with squash from the farm stand two streets over. It stays as long as the squash does, so don't overthink it.
- Google Business draft: Seasonal special starting Friday: pumpkin ravioli with locally grown squash from two streets over. Available while the season lasts. Book a table or walk in.

Illustrative drafts. A user's drafts are written from their own note, in their voice, and nothing publishes until they approve it.

## What the AI team handles

### Specials posted before service, not after

Text the special while the menu is being printed and the posts are drafted before you tie your apron. Add a photo from the pass, approve, done.

### Review replies that fill tables

Diners read how you answer the 2-star review before they book. posthell collects Google and Facebook reviews in one inbox and, on the Team plan, drafts calm, specific replies that never argue and never invent a comped meal.

### Google Business, always fresh

The profile people see when they search your name gets a weekly update, scheduled ahead, which Google's own dashboard cannot do.

### Your voice, not menu-speak

posthell mirrors how you actually talk about the food. If you'd never write 'culinary journey', neither will your posts. It is banned from inventing dishes, prices, or claims.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should a restaurant post on social media?

The things that change: specials, seasonal menu moves, and small true stories from service. Food photography helps, but timeliness converts, a special posted Thursday fills tables Friday. posthell drafts from one note so posting happens before service instead of never.

### Do restaurants really need to reply to reviews?

Yes, because replies are read by the next hundred diners, not just the reviewer. A calm, specific reply to a bad review does more for bookings than most posts. posthell drafts each one for your approval so it actually happens.

### Can posthell take the food photos?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. You shoot the plate on your phone; posthell writes the caption per network, schedules it, and publishes. The words and timing were the part that never got done.

### What does posthell cost for a restaurant?

Assistant is $49 a month, or $37 on annual billing, with a 7-day free trial. The Team plan at $79/mo adds AI-drafted review replies, which for most restaurants is the feature that pays the bill.
