The secret to a successful restaurant opening? Get influencers talking about you.

Your first few weeks set the tone for everything after. When a wave of local influencers posts about your new spot, people see it everywhere and want to come try it.

That takes volume: aim for 20+ influencer visits around your opening. Each one means an invite, a booked time, a brief, reminders and a follow-up for the footage, right when you have the least time to give.

Remy handles all of it. Start recruiting a few weeks before you open, approve the influencers you want, and Remy books them into your soft launch and opening week.

  • Weeks before opening: Remy starts recruiting locally
  • Soft launch: the first wave of visits and footage
  • Opening week: the big wave, all booked and briefed
  • After opening: run your favorite videos as ads

HowRemyworks

    01

    Remy publishes a paid ad to find local influencers in your area.

    When influencers discover your ad on Facebook or Instagram, they apply to film content at your restaurant.

    Included in your $300 a month: most restaurants start with a $5 a day ($150 a month) creator recruitment budget.

    Remy notifies you when an influencer applies.

    You see their profile, followers and engagement, then tap to approve or deny. Remy handles the rest, and you can check the status anytime.

    Remy handles every message. You get the content.

    Remy books the visit, sends the filming instructions and every reminder, and collects the files for you. The video lands ready to post, to your account or theirs.

Remy automates everything.

  • Opening-week visits, scheduled for you

    Set soft-launch and opening-week hours once. Approved influencers book themselves into those windows.

    The median time from application to visit is 6.5 days, so start recruiting before opening week.

  • Local influencers apply to produce content

    Remy runs a recruitment ad from your own Meta account, targeted around your restaurant.

    Nearby influencers apply, so nobody on your team has to go looking.

  • No back-and-forth

    A completed visit averages 25 messages. Remy handles the booking, the reminders and the follow-up for the footage.

    Anything that needs you comes with a reply already drafted.

  • Automated creator briefing

    Set the dishes to feature, the do's and don'ts and the shots you want.

    Remy sends the brief to every approved influencer before they arrive.

  • Easily track creator visits

    Every influencer gets a digital pass, and Remy reminds them to have it ready.

    Your staff scans it on arrival, so you know the visit actually happened.

  • Opening videos become your first ads

    Approve the launch videos you like or ask for a revision.

    Run your favorites as paid ads. You pay the influencer a fixed bonus only when you do.

Hear it from our restaurants.

The system works almost too good to be true. As a business owner the amount of content you get is unmatched for the cost. The best return on investment for social media marketing and running ads that aren’t AI generated.

Finding Remy has made getting UGC 1000% EASIER. What normally would take 1 person a whole week to coordinate and book just 4-5 people, it took us a few hours. Definitely a must have in your marketing toolbox if you want to streamline (User generated content)!! Don't forget that after booking, coordination is required which increases the amount of…

I almost scrolled right past it. I'm so glad I didn't, here's why. A couple of weeks ago I was on Instagram, half paying attention, when a post stopped me: an app called Remy that made managing micro influencers super easy. As the owner of Caridad Restaurant here in Hamilton Heights, New York, that line hit home right away. Influencers promoting our…

It was a great and seamless experience working with the Remy team. They were always on point, easy to reach, and very responsive throughout the entire process.

I've been using Remy by Feast Analytics at Ray's Hideaway to connect with influencers and creators, and I'm really impressed. The platform makes it simple to find people who actually fit our brand vibe, and it saves me a ton of time compared to doing outreach manually. "The insights feel solid too, not fluff. Overall, it feels like a smart tool for small…

Remy is incredibly easy to use, as it seamlessly handles the booking process, confirmations, and follow-ups on its own. Since implementing the service, we’ve also seen an uptick in restaurant traffic.
