The best social media tools for restaurants in 2026
We make Nueve, so we are not neutral. That is why this page sticks to facts, checked on September 28, 2026 on each tool's own website, with the case where each one is the best choice.
Does it create the content, or just schedule it?
Some tools make the photos, videos and captions; others schedule what you have already made. If you don't have time to create, that is the first question to ask.
Which networks, really?
TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Google: check where the tool publishes today, not where it will someday. Below is what each website announces.
Built for whom?
One independent restaurant, a group with several locations, or every kind of business? A tool built for ten locations or for every industry has different priorities from an independent restaurant.
Nueve (that's us) — for the independent restaurant that wants videos without spending time on it
Creates from your dishes and photos: captions, photos, carousels and short videos, then plans them. Publishing: TikTok today (the post lands in your account and you make it public in one tap); Instagram and Facebook are coming soon. Suggests replies to your Google reviews. From $9/month, 7-day free trial. The best choice if you want the creating done for you, videos included. Less suited if you need automatic Instagram and Facebook publishing today.
Malou — for restaurant groups
Local marketing platform dedicated to restaurants: Google listings, reviews from 20+ platforms gathered and handled with AI, messaging and posts (Instagram, Facebook, Google; TikTok announced as "coming soon"). AI drafts review replies and captions; video creation is not announced. Priced per location: from €99/month per location for 3 to 9 locations (€169 for 1 or 2), with a demo before you start.
