What Does Remy Cost? Software, Recruitment Ads, Food, and Paid Use
$300/month per location: $150 Remy + $150 creator recruitment ads. Food, influencer fees, and optional paid-ad bonuses are extra.
Remy is $300 a month per location: $150 for Remy and $150 for creator recruitment ad spend. The restaurant also funds its food offer, agreed influencer compensation, and an optional paid-ad-use bonus only when content actually runs as an ad.
There is no Remy fee for each influencer.
The complete Remy budget
| Cost | Typical amount | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Remy subscription | $150 of the $300 monthly price per location | While the location uses Remy |
| Recruitment ads | $150 of the $300 monthly price per location | While local influencer recruiting is active |
| Food credit | Set by the restaurant | When an approved influencer completes the hosted visit |
| Cash influencer fee | Only the amount agreed in writing | If the restaurant and influencer agree to cash compensation |
| Paid-ad-use bonus | $100 by default; restaurant can change it | Only if the content actually runs in paid advertising |
The subscription and recruitment budget are the predictable monthly costs. Food and compensation depend on how many visits the restaurant approves and what its written offer promises.
What the $300 monthly price includes
Remy runs the repetitive work required to keep a local influencer program moving: interested food influencers apply to the restaurant's offer, and the owner approves or skips them and approves their content. Remy handles booking, reminders, rescheduling, messages, and file collection.
The subscription does not promise a fixed number of applications, visits, or posts. It also does not rise when the restaurant approves more influencers. That is the important pricing distinction: Remy charges for the software, not for every influencer the restaurant works with.
The restaurant keeps the direct influencer relationship and can invite a good person back without another software fee. Content use still follows the written license; the influencer retains ownership of their work.
Why recruitment ads are a separate cost
The planned $5-a-day budget pays the ad platform to show the restaurant's offer to nearby food influencers. Remy is the software that turns those applications into managed visits.
Keeping the costs separate makes the budget easier to understand. The restaurant can see what it pays Remy and what it spends to recruit locally. Ad response varies by city, offer, and audience, so the $5-a-day plan is not a promise of a particular number of applicants.
Nationwide results support about $16 to $19 per approved influencer before food when the software and planned recruiting costs are considered, although individual restaurants can perform above or below that range.
The restaurant chooses the food credit
The food credit is not included in the subscription. The restaurant sets the amount based on the experience it wants the influencer to show.
Put the credit, guest allowance, eligible items, alcohol, gratuity, overage, and visit date in writing before the booking. The influencer should know what is covered, and the floor team should know how to apply it.
For internal budgeting, distinguish the menu value offered to the influencer from the restaurant's incremental food and labor cost. Do not count both as cash expense. The menu-value credit explains the offer; the restaurant's cost basis explains the economics.
Cash compensation is optional, not automatic
Some local influencers will accept the hosted meal. Others ask for cash in addition to the food. Remy does not impose a universal influencer fee.
If cash is part of the agreement, write down the amount, deliverables, payment date, cancellation terms, and what happens when required content is late or missing. If there is no cash fee, say that plainly too.
The payment does not automatically buy every possible use of the content. The agreement should separately state whether the restaurant receives the finished file, raw footage, commercial-use rights, and partnership-ad permission.
The paid-ad-use bonus only applies when the content becomes an ad
Remy's default optional paid-ad-use bonus is $100, and the restaurant can change the amount. It is triggered only if the restaurant actually runs that influencer's content in paid advertising.
This separates organic collaboration from paid distribution. A restaurant does not pay the bonus for every visit “just in case.” It pays when a delivered video proves useful enough to advertise.
The commercial license and the partnership ad are still different. Running a standard ad from the restaurant's account follows the license. Running a partnership ad from the influencer's account requires that influencer's separate account-level permission.
What should a restaurant expect to pay in a normal month?
Remy is $300 a month per location: $150 for Remy and $150 for creator recruitment ad spend. Add the actual cost of hosted meals, any cash fees the restaurant chose, and paid-ad-use bonuses only for videos that enter paid campaigns.
If the restaurant pauses recruiting for a period, actual ad-platform spend can change; the subscription remains tied to the location while Remy is in use. The restaurant should read the current checkout terms for billing details rather than extrapolate from an old invoice.
That is the complete pricing picture. There is no hidden per-influencer Remy charge, but the restaurant should not pretend that food, ads, or optional compensation are free.
