How it works

Restaurant marketing automation in three texts.

No app to download. No dashboard to learn. No agency to manage. Maddy is restaurant marketing automation that lives entirely in your text messages — the tool you already have open 80 times a day.

1

Text Maddy a photo

Snap today's special, a new dish, or your restaurant's vibe. Text it to your dedicated Maddy number — the same way you'd text an employee. No captions, no hashtags, no editing required from you.

2

She writes the caption

In 30 seconds, Maddy sends back a caption with location-relevant hashtags in your brand voice. Thumbs up to post immediately, or reply with notes and she rewrites it. Your menu, your tone, her words.

3

She handles everything else

Posts to Instagram, cross-posts to Facebook, replies to comments and DMs, auto-responds to Google reviews, drafts Yelp replies for you to copy-paste, and texts you a daily performance recap at 9 AM. All without you touching a screen.

What Maddy handles

Meet Maddy — your AI marketing assistant
Meet your new hire

Affordable restaurant marketing software that actually knows your menu.

Maddy works 24/7, never calls in sick, and costs $29/month — less than two hours of agency time. She is the most affordable restaurant marketing software built specifically for independent operators, not enterprise chains.

She knows your menu, your hours, and your brand voice. Every reply she writes is grounded in your actual restaurant data — she never hallucinates a price or invents a dish. When a customer asks about a menu item she's not sure about, she says "let me check with the team" and texts you. Then she remembers the answer forever.

  • ✓ Posts approved by you (or fully autopilot — your choice)
  • ✓ Never hallucinates menu items or wrong hours
  • ✓ Flags negative reviews to you with a draft reply
  • ✓ Gets smarter over time from your corrections
  • ✓ Works alongside your existing marketing team
Pricing

Restaurant Instagram management at a price that makes sense.

Most restaurant marketing software is priced for chains. Maddy is priced for the owner who does everything themselves.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about AI restaurant marketing.

How much does restaurant social media management cost with Maddy?+

Free for the first 100 San Jose restaurants. No credit card, no catch. After the free period, plans start at $29/month. Early adopters get locked-in pricing for life — no grandfathering games.

How do I respond to a bad Google review?+

Maddy monitors your Google Business Profile for new reviews around the clock. When a negative review comes in, she texts you a draft reply grounded in your actual restaurant data — your hours, your menu, your policies. You approve it and she posts it, or you ask her to rewrite. For 4–5 star reviews she responds automatically with a genuine thank-you.

How often should a restaurant post on Instagram?+

Consistency beats frequency. Three to five times per week is the sweet spot for most independent restaurants — enough to stay visible in the algorithm without burning out on content creation. Maddy's default schedule is Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 11:30 AM, which are peak engagement windows for food content. You can change this anytime by texting her.

What hashtags should restaurants use on Instagram?+

A layered mix works best: your restaurant name (#mariastaqueria), your cuisine (#mexicanfood #tacos), your city (#sanjoseeats #bayareafood), and trending food tags (#foodie #instafood). Maddy generates 7–10 per post automatically and rotates them to avoid Instagram's shadowban on repeated hashtag sets.

Can I remove a bad Yelp review?+

You can't remove a legitimate review, but a well-crafted public reply often matters more. When new diners read a 1-star review followed by a calm, professional owner response, the restaurant comes out looking good. Maddy drafts these replies for you within 15 minutes of a negative review posting, so you're never caught flat-footed.

Does social media actually work for restaurants?+

74% of diners use social media to decide where to eat. 60% use Instagram specifically to discover new restaurants. 50% have tried a new restaurant because of a social post. The challenge isn't whether it works — it's finding time to do it consistently. That's exactly the problem Maddy solves.

What social platforms does Maddy handle?+

Instagram (posting, comments, DMs), Facebook (cross-posting), Google Business Profile (review replies), and Yelp (review monitoring with draft replies). All managed through text message.

I don't have an Instagram account yet+

No problem. Maddy walks you through creating and switching to a Business account in about five minutes via text. She'll write your bio, suggest a profile photo, and help you connect it to your Facebook Page.

Can I trust AI to post on my behalf?+

You're always in control. By default, Maddy sends every post for your approval before it goes live. She only uses your actual menu and hours — never makes things up. You can start in approval mode and upgrade to autopilot when you're comfortable.

I already have someone doing my marketing+

Maddy complements your existing team. She handles the real-time stuff they can't — instant comment replies at 7 PM, Google review responses at midnight, spontaneous posts when you have a beautiful dish right now. Think of her as the always-on layer, not a replacement.
