The 300,000+ food creators our team searches for you

Network size as of September 2026. Our in-house team searches it by keyword, city, state and follower count. It shortlists the creators who fit your restaurant.

How do I find the right food influencers for my restaurant?

CreatoRain's in-house team searches its 300,000+ food-creator network for you. The search matches words about your food, such as coffee or brunch, against creators' bios and hashtags. It can also filter by city, state and follower count, or look a creator up by username. Restaurants, brands and agencies flagged as business accounts are left out of the results. You approve the shortlist before anyone is invited.

When a campaign is set up from your restaurant's website, the search starts with keywords drawn from the site. You can ask for changes. Most creators don't list a city on their profile, so a search by city can come back short. Searching the whole state finds more.

  1. Search by your food

    Words about your food are matched against creators' bios and hashtags. Most creators don't list a city, so searching the whole state finds more than one city does.

  2. Business accounts are left out

    Restaurants, brands and agencies flagged as business accounts do not appear in the results. Look one up by username and the search says it is a business account instead of showing it.

  3. Compare, then add

    Each result shows the creator's follower count and links to their Instagram or TikTok account. The creators you approve are added to your campaign.

How our team searches the network

Our team searches the network for creators who fit your restaurant, then invites them.

  • Keyword search

    Type words about your food, such as coffee or brunch, and they are matched against creators' bios and hashtags. Restaurants, brands and agencies flagged as business accounts are left out of the results.

  • Location-based discovery

    Search by name, city, state or follower count. Find creators in our 300,000+ food-creator network who can visit your locations and create authentic content.

  • Changes before anyone is invited

    Before anyone is invited, our team can change the keywords and run the search again. You can ask to drop any creator from the list.

  • Creator profiles

    See which platforms each creator posts on and their follower count on each, so you can compare creators before you reach out.

  • Invitations by email

    CreatoRain sends your invitation to the creator's email, so you don't have to find contact details or send DMs yourself.

From search to campaign

The three steps our team takes to find creators and invite them

  1. Search the network

    Our team searches our food-creator network for creators who post about food like yours.

  2. Review profiles

    Our team checks which platforms each creator posts on and their follower count on each.

  3. Send invitations

    Our team sends each creator an invitation and up to two follow-ups.

Frequently asked questions

Can CreatoRain find creators by cuisine?

Not with a cuisine filter. CreatoRain's team types the food as a keyword, such as ramen or brunch. It is matched against what creators write in their bios and the hashtags they use. The search can also filter by city, state and follower count, or look a creator up by username.

Why does a search by city find fewer creators?

Most creators don't list a city on their profile, so a search by city in CreatoRain leaves them out. Searching the whole state finds more, and so does typing the city as a keyword.

Will restaurants or brands show up in the search results?

Not if they are flagged as business accounts. CreatoRain leaves restaurants, brands and agencies flagged as business accounts out of the results. A username lookup says it is a business account instead of showing it.

Do I have to come up with the search keywords?

No. CreatoRain draws keywords from your restaurant's website, and the campaign's search starts with them. You can ask our team to remove any of them or add your own.
