Spot The Difference

The old way vs. the RealEats way

Most restaurants either overpay agencies or waste hours DM-ing creators who never respond.

The old way

  • Pay an agency $1,500 - $5,000 per campaign
  • Spend hours scrolling Instagram for local creators
  • DM dozens of influencers and hope for a reply
  • No guarantee the creator's audience is local
  • Negotiate rates, contracts, and deliverables yourself

With RealEats

  • Pay a small campaign fee. A fraction of agency pricing
  • We find creators who match your cuisine and area
  • You approve the match before anything happens
  • Every creator's audience is local to your venue
  • Creator visits for a comped meal and posts within 7 days
How It Works

How it works

Three steps. We do the heavy lifting.

1

Tell us about your venue

Sign up and share your cuisine, vibe, and what you want to promote. A new menu, a quiet midweek slot, a grand opening.

2

We find your creators

We match you with local food creators whose audience, style, and location fit your venue. You approve the match before anything happens.

3

They visit. They post. You grow.

Your matched creator visits for a comped meal, then shares their experience on Instagram or TikTok. Authentic content, real local reach.

The Good Stuff

Why nano influencers work for restaurants

Their followers are local

Unlike bigger influencers with followers spread across the country, nano creators have concentrated local audiences. The exact people who'd actually visit your venue.

Higher trust, higher engagement

A recommendation from a nano influencer feels like a tip from a friend, not an ad. Their engagement rates are 10x higher than macro influencers.

Content you own and reuse

Every reel and post a creator makes is content you can reshare on your own channels. One visit keeps working for you long after the meal is over.

Zero risk to try

Sign up is free. You don't pay anything until we match you with a creator you're happy with. Your only cost is a campaign fee plus a comped meal.

Why Us

Why RealEats

We're food creators ourselves

We built RealEats, a food discovery app, so we know what content actually drives foot traffic. We've been on the creator side.

We find creators who care about food

We don't just check follower counts. We look at content quality, local reach, and whether their posts actually make people want to visit.
