Plan the month
A simple content plan built around your menu, specials, people, and neighborhood — including a monthly shot list you can film on a phone.
Chicago restaurant social media
We manage the social feed so you can focus on the kitchen.
GRBT Media handles planning, posting, and weekly reporting for Chicago restaurants. You keep cooking, serving, and running the floor.
What we do
We take social media off your plate. You send specials, events, and phone photos when you have them. We turn that into a steady presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Google Business Profile.
Write and post
Feed posts, captions, hashtags, weekly stories, and Google Business Profile updates. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
Report each week
A short weekly performance report covering reach, engagement, follower change, the top post, and a tweak for the week ahead.
Plans
Monthly pricing. On plans with ads, the ad budget is part of the price and runs in your own Meta and Google ad accounts, at cost with no markup. Ads launch only after you approve the budget and creative.

How it works
Step 1
Short intake
A brief questionnaire about your voice, menu, goals, and how you like to approve posts. It takes about 10 minutes.
Step 2
You approve every post
We send a first-month plan, then drafts. Nothing gets posted until you have looked it over and said OK in writing.
Step 3
We post and report
Approved posts go out on schedule. You get a short weekly report, and we fold in specials and events as you send them.
