What does an influencer marketing platform for restaurants actually do?

An influencer marketing platform for restaurants does the legwork of working with food creators. It finds creators who post about food, writes to them and follows up. It records each visit a creator books and each video they deliver. CreatoRain does this as a done-for-you restaurant influencer marketing service for chains and franchises. You send your locations. Its in-house team invites creators from its 300,000+ food-creator network and runs the campaign. Each reply starts as an AI draft. By default, a person reviews it before it is sent.

The steps further down follow one campaign from the first search to the delivered video. The questions at the end cover timing, content, tracking, how creators are paid, no-shows and the cities covered. See pricing

How it works

From finding creators to collecting their videos.

CreatoRain drafts the campaign, shortlists creators, and sends the invitations and the follow-ups. You check the draft and host the visits. Your campaign report shows every reply, booked visit and delivered video.

At each step, the outlined card shows what just changed. The screens show example restaurants and creators, so names change from step to step.

  1. We draft your campaign

    You do not start from a blank form. CreatoRain reads your restaurant's website and drafts the campaign for you. You check the draft and add your locations. A location you add later joins the campaign while it runs.

    Example (invented): a restaurant campaign with its Locations table. A callout reads: You added this location. Under it, a new row-sized card closes the table and shows the Pearl District location in Portland, now Active, and the count reads five active.
    Adding locations is the first of your three jobs. CreatoRain's team does the creator work, from the first invitation to paying each creator. The picture shows sample data.

  2. Relevant, on-brand creators from our network

    CreatoRain searches its 300,000+ food-creator network and shortlists the creators who fit your restaurant and your brand. You can also send us your own creator lists.

    Example (invented): creator search for a taco campaign, with keyword chips above a list of creators. A new card over the selection bar shows Sofia Reyes and Jordan Ellis added to the campaign. A callout reads: Our team's shortlist.
    CreatoRain's team searches its food-creator network by what you serve. Business accounts stay out, and the creators you approve join your campaign. The picture shows sample data.

  3. We reach out to the creators for you

    Once you approve the campaign, CreatoRain's team sends the invitations and the follow-ups. When a creator writes back, with a question or to negotiate, the answer starts as an AI draft. It is written from what your campaign says about your brand. By default, a person on our team approves each reply before it goes out. Rate negotiations are always handled by a person.

    Example (invented): one invitation email, with the creator's first name filled in for her, dimmed except for one new card. The card over the email body shows Maya Okafor, marked Interested: Maya replied on Wednesday evening, so both follow-ups stopped. Her reply shows below the card.
    Each invitation is filled in for the creator it goes to. When a creator replies, the follow-ups stop. The picture shows sample data.
    More on automated outreach →

  4. Creators book a visit, you host them

    A creator who says yes picks one of your locations, a date and a time in CreatoRain's app for creators; you choose per location whether bookings confirm automatically. After the visit they post on their own account and submit the link.

    Example (invented): a booking table with creators and their status, dimmed except for one new card. The card over Sofia Reyes's request shows it confirmed: her visit to the Midtown location in Atlanta, on Saturday evening. A callout reads: You host the visit.
    Creators who say yes book their own visit. Each request confirms on its own, or waits for your approval at that location. The picture shows sample data.
    More on creator bookings →

  5. Every campaign in one report

    Your campaign report shows each creator and the whole campaign: who replied, who booked a visit and which videos came in. The creator's pay is included in the price of each video, and CreatoRain pays the creator.

    Example (invented): one campaign across eight locations in four states, with each store's reservations and videos. A new card with a grey video tile, at the foot of the list, reads: Williamsburg, Brooklyn. New video posted today.
    The report has a row for each location. It shows the visits creators booked there and the videos they made. The picture shows sample data.

Three jobs are yours. The creator work is ours.

Diagram: the nine steps of a campaign in three swimlanes, You, CreatoRain team and Creators, joined by one line from step to step. You send your locations, approve the campaign and host the visit. CreatoRain's team shortlists creators from its food-creator network, invites and follows up, books the visit, then pays creators and reports. Creators agree a rate, film the visit while you host it, and post the video on Instagram or TikTok.

Frequently asked questions

How does CreatoRain work?

You send your locations. CreatoRain's in-house team builds the campaign and shortlists creators from its 300,000+ food-creator network. It sends the invitations and the follow-ups and answers each creator's questions. Each reply starts as an AI draft. By default, a person on the team reviews it before it is sent. Creators book their own visit and you host it, and every booked visit and posted video is recorded per location.

How does CreatoRain's influencer service use AI?

CreatoRain is a done-for-you restaurant influencer marketing service for chains and franchises. Its in-house team runs each campaign and uses AI for the routine work: checking whether a creator fits, and drafting invitations, follow-ups and replies. Each reply starts as an AI draft. By default, a person on the team reviews it before it is sent.

How do restaurants work with food influencers?

A restaurant invites a food creator to visit, for money, a comp meal or both. The creator posts a video about the visit. CreatoRain runs that for you. Its in-house team invites creators from its 300,000+ food-creator network and sends the follow-ups. It answers creators when they reply, and it records each visit a creator books and each video they deliver.

How do I find the right influencers for my restaurant?

CreatoRain builds the shortlist for you from its 300,000+ food-creator network. Keywords such as your cuisine and dishes come from your restaurant's website. The search finds creators who post about them. Each creator's fit is then checked. Before anyone is invited, you can ask our team to change the keywords or drop a creator.

What kind of content will influencers create?

Creators post their own photos and videos about their visit. Turn on content review in CreatoRain if you want to check each video before it's approved.

How long does it take to launch a campaign?

About as long as it takes you to check the draft. CreatoRain drafts the campaign's name and description from your restaurant's website. Once you have checked it and named the locations taking part, our team starts the campaign.

How do I track campaign performance?

Your CreatoRain campaign report shows each creator's progress and the whole campaign's: who replied, who booked a visit at which location, and which videos were submitted and approved.

How are creators paid?

Each creator is paid as agreed with them. The creator's pay is included in the price of each video and CreatoRain pays it, so you pay nothing more; the meal served on the visit comes from your own menu.

Why does CreatoRain's price include the creator's pay?

CreatoRain runs one master campaign across its network, which brings creator quotes down. $300 a video includes the creator's pay, and CreatoRain pays each creator. You send nothing on top in cash. The restaurant still comps 1–2 meals from its menu per creator visit.

What if a creator doesn't show up or doesn't post?

No video, no charge. You pay $300 for each video that is posted, and the creator's pay is included. If a creator doesn't show up or doesn't post, CreatoRain's team invites another creator at no extra cost to you.

Which cities and markets does CreatoRain cover?

CreatoRain works with restaurants across the United States. Its food-creator network has 300,000+ creators and spans the country. CreatoRain's in-house team invites creators from that network to visit your locations. Its city pages show food creators from the network in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami.
