The chore

You opened Instagram instead of doing payroll. Again.

Social media is the longest unpaid shift on the schedule. The tools that exist either schedule what you write (still your problem) or post generic slop that doesn't sound like your place. You stopped posting. The algorithm noticed.

8.5 hrs
average per week spent on social by restaurant owners

That's a payroll run, two prep shifts, or a date night.

restaurants posts once and ghosts for two weeks

Algorithms punish silence harder than mediocrity.

62%
of comments and DMs go unanswered for over 24 hours

Your most engaged customers are getting silence.

What changes

One tool replaces three: writer, scheduler, community manager.

Drafts

Posts that sound like your place.

We learn your voice from your reviews, your menu, and the captions you've written before. Every draft has a quality check — voice match, product fidelity, platform fit, novelty.

Voice match scored on every draft. Held when off.
Replies

Comments and DMs handled — without the bot energy.

Drafted replies in your voice, ranked by importance, queued for your eyes. Negative sentiment, dietary questions, and event leads get held for a human. Everything else can autopilot.

Lead and complaint detection always holds for review.
Autopilot

Trust us once, then stop thinking about it.

When you're ready, autopilot publishes posts and sends replies in your voice. Anything our quality check flags comes back to you. Most weeks: 1 to 3 items.

60-second undo on every reply. Pause for 24h whenever.
How it works

Three steps. Thirty seconds a day.

01

Snap a photo at the pass.

Drop dishes into your library. We detect what they are, name them, and queue them for the calendar. Works on your phone, the bar iPad, anything with a camera.

02

We draft, in your voice.

Captions, hashtags, scheduling — across Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads, Facebook, YouTube. Every draft is checked against your brand voice and platform-specific best practices.

03

Approve. Or autopilot.

Spend three minutes a day approving — or flip autopilot on and only see flagged items. The quality check holds anything off-voice. Most accounts run autopilot by week three.

Cheaper than an agency. Less work than scheduling. More yours than a bot.

Honest answers

What restaurant owners ask before they sign up.

Yes — and you'll know within the first three drafts. We train your voice on your existing posts, your reviews, and the menu. Every draft has a Voice Match score; we hold anything below 7.0. After two weeks of approvals, the model is locked to your voice.

Other questions? Email hello@tastestar.app. A real human replies, usually under an hour.

Stop posting. Start running your restaurant.

We'll have the next six days drafted before you finish your coffee.
