Built with us. - Who posts Your own team, trained and running it by week three. - What we build The capture routine, templates, caption frameworks and your first month of content. - What you pay One flat fee, from $1,500\. No retainer, no monthly fee. - Who owns it You do. There is nothing to cancel. ## If you were looking for an agency. An agency runs your accounts for you and bills you every month. When you stop paying, the posting stops, and the system and your brand voice stay with them. We work the other way around. We come into your business and build the capture routine, the templates, the training videos and your first month of content. We train the person on your team who will own it. Then we hand it over running, and your team posts it. The trade: someone on your team plans the month in one hour and posts on a steady rhythm. If you want someone to run your social media permanently, this is not it. ## Two ways to get your restaurant managed. Both are a flat fee and both end with a system your team owns. Pick by how much you want us to build. - System Install $2,000 We build your social media system inside your restaurant, train your team and plan your first month. Your team is posting by week three. [See the System Install](https://www.goodbibee.com/hospitality-social-media-system) [Book a discovery call](https://calendly.com/hello-goodbibee/system-install-discovery-session) - Custom Build $1,500 We write a custom social media playbook for your business, buyers and voice, and walk you through it.

Melanie Mann GoodBibee 5 out of 5 stars > “I’ve worked with a lot of agencies who say they ‘understand the client.’ GoodBibee actually does. They listen for how buyers talk, not just what they say they want, and then bring that language straight into the work. It consistently made the strategy sharper, the copy clearer, and the output more effective. GoodBibee is an easy recommendation.” Manav Thaker World Chef GoodBibee 5 out of 5 stars > The best business decision I made this year was collaborating with GoodBibee. Peters Produce GoodBibee 5 out of 5 stars > I came in overwhelmed, but left feeling confident, supported, and excited again. Bekah didn’t give me cookie-cutter advice — she took the time to understand my problems and showed up to help advocate for my brand. The personalized approach felt like having a friend and expert in my corner, not just an agency. Leah Inman Leah’s Gift Guide GoodBibee 5 out of 5 stars > We saw our clicks and conversions skyrocket!

This is how every site we make gets built. 1. 01 ### A meeting. We talk about your business: who comes in, what they ask, and what they check before they call. Then we show you a plan before anything is built. 2. 02 ### Your words. We write the site the way you talk. Not the way agencies talk. 3. 03 ### We build it. Every page built around what your customers need to see or try first: hours, directions, the menu, the booking. 4. 04 ### Yours to keep. Your words, your domain, no retainer. When it’s live, it’s yours. 5. 05 ### Then, if you want more. A voice agent that answers your phone when nobody can. The jobs you do by hand, set up to run on their own, like the recap text. 6.

Not month to month. We build your social media system with you and train the person on your team who will run it: the capture routine, the templates, the caption frameworks and your first month of content. After that your team posts it. If you want someone to run your accounts permanently, this is done-with-you, not done-for-you. ### Is this an agency? No. An agency runs your accounts and charges a retainer. GoodBibee builds a system your team runs in-house. You pay once, your team is trained, and the system is yours. When you are done, there is nothing left to cancel. ### What does a restaurant social media manager cost? It depends on whether you hire a person, a freelancer or an agency, and we don’t quote what other people charge. Ours is simple: the [System Install](https://www.goodbibee.com/hospitality-social-media-system) is $2,000 flat, the [Custom Build](https://www.goodbibee.com/custom-social-media-plan) is $1,500 flat, and both together are $3,000\. One time, no retainer. What you spend after that is your own team’s time: planning the month takes one hour, with two posting windows a day. ### How is this different from hiring a social media manager? A hired manager or an agency does the posting for you, and the know-how stays with them. We build the system into your restaurant and train your team, so the know-how stays with you. New hires watch the training videos and start posting within a week. ### Which fits a restaurant, the System Install or the Custom Build? Most restaurants, bars, coffee shops, breweries and bakeries start with the [System Install](https://www.goodbibee.com/hospitality-social-media-system): we build the system inside your business, train your team and plan your first month in three weeks. The [Custom Build](https://www.goodbibee.com/custom-social-media-plan) is a playbook written for your business that you run yourself, delivered in about two weeks. It is also the route for farms, venues, rentals and hotels. ### How do I get started? Book the free [30-minute intro call](https://calendly.com/hello-goodbibee/30min). We talk through your restaurant, your team and which way in fits. No payment until we have talked.
