Instagram marketing for restaurants
Invite food creators to your restaurant for an honest review video on Instagram. Each reply to a creator starts as an AI draft. By default, a person reviews it before it is sent.
How do I get food influencers to post about my restaurant on Instagram?
CreatoRain sends each creator in your campaign an invitation in your restaurant's name: a hosted meal for one honest review video on Instagram, with full creative control. A creator who says yes books a visit at one of your locations in the CreatoRain creator app. Once the booking is confirmed, they come in and your kitchen serves the meal. After they post the video on their own Instagram, they submit its link in the app, and the video is recorded against your campaign.
You can edit the invitation, and your edits go to every creator it is sent to. By default, a booking reads Pending until it is confirmed, then Confirmed; at a location with Auto-confirm on, a creator's booking is confirmed right away. Content review is off by default, so a video is approved as it arrives; if you turn it on for the campaign, each video reads In review until it is approved. Each reply to a creator starts as an AI draft. By default, a person reviews it before it is sent. CreatoRain does not post to your restaurant's Instagram account, and it does not measure views or reach.
The invitation
CreatoRain starts every campaign with this invitation. You can edit it, and your edits go to every creator it is sent to.
The creator books, then comes in
Creators book their own visits in the CreatoRain creator app, at one of your locations. The meal comes from your kitchen.
The video link
The creator posts the video on their own Instagram and submits its link. CreatoRain does not post to your restaurant's account.
Why invite food creators on Instagram
When a food creator posts an honest review of their visit on Instagram, their followers can see your food through someone they already follow.
- Posts and Reels show the dish itself, the way a diner sees it at the table
- Creators post on their own accounts, for people who already follow them
- A campaign can ask for a Reel, a Story or Post, or both
- A short video shows your food through the creator's own visit
What a campaign can ask for on Instagram
Each campaign sets the Instagram content it asks for: a Reel, a Story or Post, or both. The invitation asks each creator for one honest review video, and the creator keeps full creative control.
Feed posts
A post on the creator's own Instagram feed about their visit, made the way the creator chooses.
Reels & videos
One honest review video of the creator's visit, made in their own style.
Stories
A Story from the creator's visit. The creator submits its link like any other.
