What's in the Hospitality Social Media Playbook
At a Glance
The Playbook gives you the full weekly system — a step-by-step guide with templates for what to post, what to capture, and how to keep it moving without turning it into a second job.
Stop renting your voice from a cheap imitation. Start using it.
60-Minute Quickstart
Get the full system installed fast, with your month mapped, capture windows chosen, and your first week planned.
15–20 Posts from One Idea
Turn one monthly theme into a full month of content, so you're never asking what to post after a long shift.
30-Day Content Guide
A week-by-week template for what to capture, post, and review — so your feed stays current through real service weeks.
50+ Prompt Library
Use shift-ready prompts for prep, service, resets, events, standards, and seasonal moments.
Metrics + 3-Signal Check
Stop guessing what's working. See what your content is missing and start repeating what actually drives visits.
Digital Front Door Fix Kit
Turn "nice feed" into "I'm going there." A fast clarity check so strangers instantly know what you are, what it feels like, and whether you're worth the trip.
HOW IT WORKS
Three Steps. One System. Your Team Runs It.
One planning session a week. Capture happens during normal shifts. This guide replaces content days with a rhythm your team already fits.
STEP 1
Plan the month from one idea
60 minutes · once a month
Pick one core idea guests already notice, ask about, or thank you for. Map five post angles from it so the month starts with direction — not a blank screen.
- Choose one monthly idea worth proving (standards, craft, experience, demand)
- Draft five posts from it in one sitting — done planning until next month
STEP 2
Capture Proof On real shifts
15–20 minutes across the week
You don't need a content day. You need 2–3 moments during normal shifts to grab what's happening in the room, capture real proof while it's live, and keep the week moving without falling behind.
- Pick capture windows that fit your flow (prep, open, mid-rush, close, reset)
- Grab real proof: your place, people, and practice, with only your phone
STEP 3
Keep a simple weekly rhythm
25 minutes + two quick posts
One short session picks your strongest posts and writes the captions. Two posting windows during the week keep everything moving without becoming a second job.
- Plan the week and write fast using proof → meaning → next step
- Post on a rhythm your team can keep — even on the busiest weeks
The Fit
Perfect for you
You have a place worth showing — you just don’t have a system for it.
Someone on your team can own this. One person. Not a committee.
You can give it 25–60 minutes a week without turning it into a second job.
You’d rather build a marketing habit than keep hiring for one.
Not for you
You want zero involvement. This is a system you run, not a service you hire.
You’re chasing viral moments, not weekly consistency.
You’re not ready to pick one person to own it.
You can’t commit 30 minutes a week, even on a light week.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of hospitality businesses is this social media system for?
This works for restaurants, coffee shops, bars, breweries, bakeries, and food trucks — any place where customers come for the in-person experience. If you have a weekly service rhythm, an atmosphere worth looking at, and excellent hospitality is your game, this system will fit your business.
Can I run my restaurant's social media myself without hiring an agency?
Yes. This playbook is built for small hospitality teams who want to own their social media without paying an agency or hiring a full-time content person. The system is designed to run in a few hours per week.
How much time does social media take per week with this system?
Plan for 15-25 minutes of planning once a week, plus 2-3 short capture windows during normal shifts. One person can run it. For busy weeks, there's guidelines for setting a minimum rhythm that takes even less time.
Do I need a professional camera crew or scheduled content days?
Ain't nobody got time for that! The capture system is built around what's already happening during your regular operation (prep, service, close, special events, seasonal changes, and more). You can use what you have on hand (your phone is enough).
How do I know what's worth posting each week?
You get 5 post types that work every time, 4 content categories to help you spot what's worth capturing, and 50+ capture prompts. You'll stop asking "what should I post on Instagram for my restaurant when it's busy" because you'll always know.
How do I write restaurant social media captions that don't sound generic?
Use the 30-second caption builder: proof from your shift + what it means + simple next step. No marketing voice, no hype, just what happened and why it matters.
How do I replace my social media agency without losing momentum?
The 60-minute quickstart gets your first month live, and the 30-day plan shows you exactly what to post and when. You'll have a system in place before you cancel your agency contract.
Do you offer help setting this up?
Yes. After purchase, you can book a System Install where we map the system into your actual schedule, assign roles, and plan your first month of posts.
Is this playbook for hotels, B&Bs, or vacation rentals?
Not yet. This version is built for restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and breweries. If you need a system now, the Custom Build gives you a playbook built from scratch for your business.
