For cafés and restaurants

Social media for cafés and restaurants, between orders

Your best content comes out of the kitchen every day: the first batch out of the oven, the new special, a full house on Friday night. Tella turns a quick photo or clip into a post while you get back to service.

Why hospitality accounts go quiet

Posting the special at 11am means stopping at 11am, which is exactly when you can't. By the time there's a quiet moment, the special's gone. So the account that should show off the food every day ends up posting once a month.

How it fits into service

  1. Snap it on the pass: the special, the new cake, the brunch board.
  2. Send it to Tella with the details: "Lamb shoulder, $34, tonight only".
  3. Tella writes the post in your venue's voice.
  4. Approve it when you next look at your phone.
  5. It's on Instagram and Facebook (and TikTok, for videos).

Example

The owner sends

📷 "Fresh sourdough out at 7am"

Tella sends back for approval (demonstration)

Sourdough's out of the oven at 7am. Get in early, it never lasts. 🥖

  • Behind the pass: a clip of plating or pouring, edited into a reel.
  • Opening hours and closures: public holidays, private events, late nights.
  • The team: a new barista, a chef's new dish, a local supplier.

Made for a busy venue

  • Runs from the phone in your apron. Nothing to log in to on a computer.
  • Staff can send photos; the owner keeps the final say.

Questions

Can Tella post our specials every day?

Yes. Send a photo of the special and approve the post. Image Only covers 200 photo posts a month for $39 + GST, so daily specials fit easily.

Can it make reels of the kitchen?

On a video plan, yes. Send a short clip and Tella edits it into a reel with a voiceover and captions. Or type the news, like a new menu, and Tella makes a text-to-video with no filming.

Can our staff send photos?

Yes. The owner adds people by email in the Tella app. A chef or floor manager can send the photos and the owner approves, or the other way round.

Does Tella know our prices and hours?

Only what you tell it. Tella never makes up prices, dates or offers, so type "$18, Friday only" with the photo if you want it in the post.
