Plan a month of restaurant social posts

Get a month of Facebook and Instagram posts for specials, events and behind-the-scenes in one sitting.

The problem

Most restaurants post when someone remembers to, which means nothing for two weeks and then three posts in a day. Regular, specific posts about specials, events and the people in the kitchen are what keep locals coming back.

Step by step

1. 1Write down what is coming up this month: specials, events, game days, holidays, new menu items, and any staff or regulars worth a shout-out.
2. 2Ask ChatGPT for a 4-week posting calendar (3–4 posts a week) mixing specials, events, behind-the-scenes and customer favorites.
3. 3Have it write the caption for each post in your voice, with a clear call to action (book a table, order online, come watch the game).
4. 4Take your own photos of the real food and room. Use Canva for any text graphics (event flyers, specials boards).
5. 5Schedule the whole month at once in Meta Business Suite so it posts to Facebook and Instagram automatically.

Copy-paste prompt

I run a restaurant/bar called [name] in [town]. Our vibe: [describe]. This month we have: [specials, events, holidays, new items, game days]. Create a 4-week social media calendar with 3–4 posts per week for Facebook and Instagram. For each post give: day, post type (special, event, behind-the-scenes, customer favorite), a caption under 60 words in a friendly local voice, a call to action, and a photo idea I can shoot myself. Do not invent prices or events I did not list.
