Eric Bai (Founder & CEO)
They implemented a small feature request I made within 24 hours. We manage an account with 95 posts per day. We needed a strong scheduling tool that could handle this load, and now we have it. 💪 Definitely worth it.

Weekly Content Ideas for Restaurants
A ready-made content calendar you can schedule with PostPlanify in minutes
Menu Highlight Monday
Feature one signature dish or drink with a close-up photo and a simple “why it’s loved” caption. Rotate best-sellers and new items.
Today’s Special / Limited Drop
Post your daily special, lunch set, or limited-time item. Keep it direct: what it is, when it’s available, and a clear call to action.
Behind-the-Scenes in the Kitchen
Show prep, plating, fresh ingredients, or a quick chef moment. Raw, real clips usually outperform overly polished content.
Customer Favourite (Social Proof)
Share a review screenshot, a customer clip, or a “most-ordered item this week” post. Trust builds faster than more promos.
Weekend Hook
Promote what’s happening this weekend—brunch, live music, happy hour, new dessert drop. Add simple details: time, vibe, and what to try.
Ambience + Experience
Show the experience: lighting, busy moments, cocktails pouring, friends sharing food. People book vibes as much as menus.
Staff Spotlight
Introduce the chef, barista, or team members. Human content builds repeat customers and makes your brand feel real.
UGC Repost / “What People Ordered”
Repost customer videos and photos (with permission) or do a quick “top 3 orders today” recap. UGC is free marketing that feels authentic.
Monthly Specials Calendar
Create a simple monthly calendar: events, specials, seasonal items. Pin it, repost it, and schedule reminders throughout the month.

Best Social Media Platforms for Restaurants
Not every platform matters equally. Here is where restaurants professionals should focus — and PostPlanify supports all of them.
Essential Platforms
Perfect for food photos, Reels, Stories and quick promos. Your menu visuals and ambience sell best on Instagram.
TikTok
Short-form food videos drive discovery fast. BTS clips, plating, “what I ordered” and quick reviews can bring new locals in.
Still huge for local discovery, community sharing and events. Great for specials, updates, and reaching older audiences.
Recommended Platforms
Worth Exploring
Threads
Easy cross-posting for quick updates, specials and community interaction. Low effort, decent reach in some cities.
X (Twitter)
Useful for quick updates and community engagement, but typically lower ROI than visual platforms for restaurants.
Best for hiring, partnerships, catering, corporate orders and telling your “business story.” Not a daily priority for most restaurants.
Bluesky
A growing platform worth claiming early. Good for local community posting and restaurant updates with minimal effort.
Posting Daily Is Hard When You’re Running a Restaurant
Between suppliers, staff shifts, service, inventory, prep, and customer issues, social media becomes a “later” task. But when you stop posting, you disappear—especially in local discovery. PostPlanify helps you plan content in batches and keep your restaurant visible without living on your phone.
Plan a week of posts fast
Batch your menu photos, specials and event promos in one session—then let the scheduler publish for you.
Write captions instantly
Use AI to generate promo copy, dish descriptions and simple CTAs that match your tone and brand.
Stay consistent without stress
Keep posting across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok even on your busiest days.
Replace daily posting with one weekly plan
Last-minute posts
Consistent visibility
How Restaurants Professionals Use PostPlanify
Real scenarios showing how PostPlanify fits into your workflow
Independent Restaurant Owner
Owner-operator handling everything from suppliers to staffing, with social media always falling behind.
You post only when you remember—usually after a long shift—so your presence looks inconsistent and your specials don’t get the attention they deserve.
Use PostPlanify every Monday to schedule menu highlights, specials and weekend promos. Import designs from Canva, generate captions with AI, and schedule across Instagram and Facebook.
Consistent weekly posting without daily effort. Specials get promoted on time and your restaurant stays visible in local feeds.
Restaurant Manager
Manager responsible for the brand, staff coordination and daily operations.
You rely on staff to post, but it’s messy—random timing, inconsistent tone, and important announcements get missed.
Create a shared calendar in PostPlanify. Let staff draft posts and route them for approval before scheduling. Keep promos, events and updates organized.
Clean, consistent posting with less back-and-forth. Everyone knows what’s scheduled and nothing slips through.
Multi-Location Operator
Running multiple restaurant pages or concepts with limited marketing bandwidth.
Multiple locations means multiple calendars, multiple assets, and constant confusion about what’s posting where.
Set up separate workspaces per location. Reuse templates, schedule location-specific specials, and plan monthly campaigns across all accounts from one dashboard.
A scalable system for multiple pages without adding headcount. Each location stays active with organized content.
More from the community.
The customer service is absolutely awesome. I manage over 13 accounts and some of the videos reachover 500,000 views!
Really helped me manage my time better and keep all my posts organized in one place.
I love it! I fired my social media manager and now just use postplanify.

Why Restaurants Need a Social Media Scheduler
Restaurants win on visibility. People decide where to eat based on what they see — dishes, vibe, social proof and what’s happening this week. But running a restaurant is a full-time job, and posting daily is unrealistic. A social media scheduler for restaurants lets you batch-create content, schedule it ahead of time, and show up consistently even during your busiest service hours.
Schedule Specials, Events and Menu Content
Timing matters for restaurants. Today’s special needs to go out before lunch. Weekend promos need to hit before Friday night. With PostPlanify you can schedule your specials, menu photos, event reminders and limited-time offers in advance, so your content goes live at the right time without last-minute stress.
Make Food Content Easy (Photos + Short Videos)
Food content performs best when it’s simple and frequent: close-up photos, quick prep clips, plating shots, and short “what to order” videos. PostPlanify supports scheduling photo posts and video content so you can plan your menu visuals and short-form clips alongside your promotions.
Stay Consistent Without Living on Your Phone
Consistency is what keeps you in the feed. PostPlanify’s visual calendar helps you balance menu highlights, specials, ambience and social proof throughout the week — then schedule it once and focus on running service.
