Turn this week's menu feature into 5 social posts with @Claude

You approve
Setup is no-code, every action is auditable, and the agent is scoped to the rules your Food & Beverage team defines — not a generic template applied to your business.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does this look like for a restaurant vs. a multi-location group?
Single restaurant: reservations, waitlist, vendor orders, feedback synthesis, gift card / private event inquiries. Multi-location: same plus cross-location reporting, central commissary inventory, brand-voice consistency across locations, and the franchise-specific operational doc.
Reservation systems?
OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, Tock, Yelp Reservations. The agent reads availability, manages the waitlist, handles cancellations and rebookings, and answers the 'do you have a vegan menu?' DMs.
Inventory and supplier ordering?
It reads your POS sales data, the par levels, and the open orders — then drafts the next vendor order with reasoning ('flour was 18% above expected last week, ordering 10% extra'). Approval stays with the GM; the math is the agent's.
Customer feedback?
Reads Yelp / Google / OpenTable / TripAdvisor reviews, social media mentions, direct customer emails — and writes a weekly digest with the patterns. Surface-level: a 0.2-star drop. Deep: which dishes are getting the most negative comments and why.
Marketing and communications?
Drafts weekly newsletters, social posts about specials, holiday hours notifications, and the loyalty-program nudges. Voice matches your brand from past communications; nothing auto-publishes without your team's review.
