What We Look For

It's not about follower count

We want creators who connect with their community and produce content people actually engage with.

Organic Content

Your photos, reels, and stories feel genuine — not scripted. Restaurants want real experiences, not ad reads.

Engaged Audience

Your followers comment, share, and save your content. A smaller, engaged audience is more valuable than a large passive one.

Consistency & Reliability

You post regularly and meet deadlines. Restaurants count on you to deliver, and we take that commitment seriously.

Local Focus

You know your city's food scene and your audience trusts your recommendations for where to eat.
