Social Media Management for Restaurants
Every "are you open tonight?", "do you have vegan options?" and "can I book for 8?" comment is a table you can win or lose. OutReply answers Instagram and Facebook comments and DMs in your restaurant's voice, keeps your feed full during the dinner rush, and flags the complaints a manager needs to see.

Customer comment
Do you have anything gluten free? Coming with my sister on Friday!
Your reply, drafted by OutReply
Yes! Our grilled sea bass, the beetroot risotto and most of our salads are gluten free, and the kitchen can adapt a few more dishes on request. Just mention it when you book and we'll take care of your sister. See you Friday! 🍽️
Why restaurants teams look for a social media tool
These are the problems that usually push businesses like yours to look for a social media tool.
Questions arrive during service
Comments about hours, menus and reservations land exactly when the kitchen is slammed. By the time someone checks the phone, the guest has booked elsewhere.
One bad comment goes public fast
A cold-food complaint under a busy post gets seen by hundreds of locals before anyone responds. Silence reads as "we don't care".
No time to post the specials
The daily special, the new cocktail, the live music night. All worth posting, none of it gets posted because nobody has ten spare minutes.

Facebook comment
“Waited 40 minutes for two burgers last night. Not impressed.”
OutReply's reply
That's far longer than it should have been and we're sorry your evening was affected. Could you send us a message with the time you visited? Our manager would like to look into what happened and make it right.
Instagram comment
“Are you open on Sunday?”
OutReply's reply
We are! Sunday hours are 11am to 9pm with brunch until 3pm. Tables fill up fast around midday, so booking through the link in our bio is a good idea. 😊
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Connect your Instagram business account and Facebook page, describe your restaurant, menu highlights and hours, and OutReply drafts replies to comments and DMs in your voice. You choose per rule whether replies go out automatically or wait for approval.
Sentiment analysis flags negative comments as they arrive. You can auto-hide abuse and spam, while genuine complaints wait in the review queue with a suggested response for a team member to send, so the public sees a fast, calm reply while the issue is handled privately.
Yes. Each location can be a separate brand with its own accounts, hours and tone, and you can invite managers per location and switch between locations from one account.
No. The content wizard turns a dish name, an event or a photo into ready-to-post captions and hashtags, and post suggestions give you ideas when the calendar is empty. You still approve everything before it goes live.
