Posting on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok every week takes time that most restaurant owners simply do not have. That is why many restaurants hire help. But how much does restaurant social media management cost, and what should be included?
This guide explains what drives the price, what to ask before you hire someone, and how our remote social media management works at HS Media.
What restaurant social media management usually includes
- Content: photos and short videos of your food, space and team.
- Editing: color correction, cutting Reels, adding text and music.
- Captions: writing posts that match your brand voice.
- Scheduling and posting: publishing on a regular schedule.
- Engagement: replying to comments and messages, if included.
- Reporting: a simple monthly look at what worked.
What affects the price
- Number of posts per month. More posts and Reels means more editing and planning time.
- Who creates the content. If the agency comes to film and photograph, the cost is higher than if you send your own photos and videos.
- Number of platforms. Managing Instagram only is different from managing Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
- Community management. Replying to comments and DMs every day is extra work.
- Paid ads. Running ads is usually a separate service with its own budget.
Questions to ask before you hire
- How many posts and Reels are included each month?
- Who creates the photos and videos?
- Will I approve posts before they go live?
- Which platforms are included?
- Is there a minimum contract?
- How will I know if it is working?
