For Restaurants

Tonight's special is on Instagram before service starts.

Restaurants live and die by being top of mind on the right night. GoferPost is the AI marketing tool that posts your specials, fills your seats, and runs your loyalty emails — without taking the chef off the line.

Running a restaurant is one of the most demanding businesses there is. Margins are thin, labour is tight, and somehow you also need a TikTok presence. GoferPost was built to make the marketing part of your day take fifteen minutes, not three hours. The food is what brings people in. We make sure they hear about it.

The reality

What restaurants actually deal with.

01

Specials change daily. Posts can't.

Tonight's risotto is the special. By the time you've photographed it, written a caption, posted it to Instagram and TikTok and the Facebook page and the GBP, service has started and the kitchen is buried.

02

Reviews need replies. So does every DM.

The polite five-star review needs a thank-you. The three-star review needs a careful reply. The DMs about brunch need answers. Multiply by every platform and you've spent another hour on your phone instead of on the floor.

03

Local search is half the battle.

Most diners search Google or Apple Maps before deciding where to eat tonight. If your Google Business Profile hasn't been touched in three months, you're invisible. But updating it is one more thing on the list.

Daily specials in 90 seconds

Snap, prompt, schedule, done.

Take one photo of tonight's dish. Tell GoferPost "tonight's special: pumpkin risotto with sage brown butter, $28." The AI writes platform-specific captions for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and your Google Business Profile. All in your restaurant's voice. All scheduled in one pass.

Prompt: "Tonight: braised short rib with polenta and gremolata, $34, available til we run out."

Hook Tester for short-form

Your TikTok deserves better than "check this out."

On TikTok, the first three seconds make or break a post. The Hook Tester scores opening lines against simulated audience personas before you publish. "You won't believe what's on the menu tonight" vs "This is the dish we only make in October" — the tester tells you which one will actually stop the scroll.

A single calendar for the whole quarter

Wine dinners, holiday menus, summer brunch — all planned ahead.

The content calendar shows every post, email, and campaign across every platform in one view. Plan your Valentine's prix fixe in January. Schedule the Mother's Day brunch push for April. Drag and drop when service-impacting events change the week.

Email campaigns for your regulars

The list of people who already love you is your best marketing.

Drag-and-drop email builder included on every plan. Send your reservation list a heads-up about the new tasting menu. Tell your loyalty members about the upcoming chef collab. All scheduled from the same calendar as your social posts.
