Weekly Google posts

You stay in control

You decide what goes live.

RV does the recurring work. You choose how much of it can ship without you, and you set that separately for review replies, social comments, and posts. New accounts start in Manual, so nothing publishes until you say so.

Three modes. You pick one per workflow. Change any of them at any time

Google is your storefront

Your next customer is already comparing restaurants.

Before they visit, they compare reviews, photos, activity, and responses. Your online presence influences every dining decision.

What you actually get

Everything that gets you found, in one queue.

Every workflow comes with a draft, a status, and a control mode. You see the work before it ships.

01 · The replies

Review replies drafted from your real voice.

RV drafts responses using your past replies, website language, and social captions. Sensitive reviews stay held for review.

ILLUSTRATIVE DRAFT REPLY · 4★ · MARIA K.“Hey Maria, glad you came in on a Friday. Tony’s been working on that braise for three months. Tell him you read this and he’ll send you a side of polenta on the house. See you soon.”

02 · The posts

Weekly Google posts without the blank page.

Fresh posts are drafted from menu updates, Instagram captions, events, and seasonal moments. You review and schedule without opening another tool.

ILLUSTRATIVE POST · TUESDAY · DRAFTED FROM INSTAGRAM“Tagliatelle bolognese. 8-hour braise. Limited Tuesday. Walk-ins only after 6pm. Last week we ran out by 8.”

03 · The gallery

Your gallery stops being random.

RV sorts every photo into food, interior, exterior, team, menu, behind the scenes, logo, and cover, scores them for quality, and drafts a caption for the strongest ones.

ILLUSTRATIVE CAPTION · INTERIOR · WED 7:42PM“Corner table by the window. The light at 7pm makes the wine look like it’s on fire. Reservations recommended for the corner. Or just walk in and take whatever’s open.”

04 · The audit

Profile gaps get found before guests find them.

RV scores your profile across 38 factors covering reviews, replies, posts, photos, hours, categories, and attributes, then drafts the copy to fix what is weak. You approve every change before it goes live.

ILLUSTRATIVE AUDIT · THIS WEEKDrafted descriptions for 4 service items. Flagged 12 missing attributes. Queued 3 fresh interior photos. Profile health moving from 64 to 91.

05 · The grid

See exactly where you rank on the map.

A local grid, 7 by 7 by default, shows where you rank in every direction around the restaurant, which nearby competitors are winning each cell, and how that moves week over week.

ILLUSTRATIVE GRID · THIS WEEK“Best italian brooklyn”: #2 in your 1-mile radius but #6 in the 2 to 3 mile cells where the chain owns the corner. RV has 4 service descriptions and 6 review replies queued against that gap.

06 · The comments

Instagram and Facebook comments, answered in your voice.

Every comment on your Instagram and Facebook posts gets a reply drafted in your voice and lands in your comment inbox. Questions get answered, regulars get acknowledged, and nothing sits ignored for days.

ILLUSTRATIVE DRAFT REPLY · FACEBOOK“So glad the patio worked out for the birthday dinner. Tell the group the churros are on us next time, just mention this comment when you book.”

How it works

Stay visible without adding more work.

Restaurant Velocity turns a scattered, recurring set of marketing jobs into one clear operating rhythm, without asking the owner to become the marketing department.

STEP 01

Connect your profiles.

Google, Facebook, and Instagram connect through official OAuth in a five-step wizard.

STEP 02

We find opportunities.

RV scans for tasks, gaps, reviews, posts, and comments across every connected channel.

STEP 03

Review and approve.

Choose Assist, Manual, or Auto for every workflow. Approve, edit, or skip in seconds.

STEP 04

Stay active everywhere.

Work ships on a cadence and remains visible in one queue.

What you see each week: a short queue, clear choices, and work already moving.

No mystery activity. No chasing separate agencies, tools, or logins.

ONE OPERATING RHYTHM

Day 1

Your backlog becomes a reviewable queue.

The first session is not a dashboard tour. RV scans the profile, drafts the obvious work, and separates safe approvals from items that need a human look.

ILLUSTRATIVE QUEUE. NOT A CUSTOMER ACCOUNT.

Stay in control

The safety questions answered up front.

Handing recurring work to software is only safe if you stay in charge of what ships, what waits, and what gets held back.

Will it sound like me?

RV builds a voice profile from your past replies, website, and social captions. The match improves as you approve, edit, or reject. You can also ban specific phrases outright. Your voice profile is never shared with other restaurants or pooled into cross-tenant models.

What if it gets something wrong?

New accounts start in Manual mode, so nothing publishes until you approve it. When you move to Assist, RV only auto-publishes replies that clear a voice-match threshold on 4 and 5 star reviews. Critical reviews stay held.

Do I lose control?

No. Three modes let you decide what gets drafted, held, or published. You can edit, pause, or override anything. Published profile updates remain yours if you cancel.

What you’ve already tried

Most options still leave you managing the work.

RV turns recurring profile work into a visible product workflow, with drafts, approvals, timestamps, and clear control modes.

Hire an agency

Useful strategy, but slow feedback and unclear daily execution.

Hire a VA

Cheaper, but the voice and judgment are hard to keep consistent.

Use 4 tools

Each solves a slice. You still coordinate the work.

Do it yourself

Works for two weeks, then service takes priority again.

One operating system

One queue for recurring work, with your approval rules built in.

Proof of work

See what’s queued, shipped, and held.

No monthly PDF and no guessing what was done. Each recurring action appears with a timestamp and a status, so it takes seconds to inspect the work.

Frequently asked

Things owners actually ask us.

How is this different from the agency I’m already paying?

Agencies can be useful, but the work is usually slow and hard to inspect. RV gives you a live queue with every draft, fix, and status visible. It is built for recurring Google profile execution, not broad marketing strategy.

What happens if I cancel?

Everything RV did to your Google Business Profile stays. You keep the replies, posts, and updates. Your RV account data remains available if you come back, and you can permanently delete your account and its data whenever you want. There is no lock-in and no proprietary format.

What if RV writes a tone-deaf reply?

You start in Manual mode, so every reply needs your approval. If you switch on Assist, RV only auto-publishes replies that clear a voice-match threshold on 4 and 5 star reviews, and it holds anything critical. You can also keep a blocklist of phrases you never want used.

Do you really use my Instagram?

With your permission. RV reads your public Instagram posts and captions to learn your voice and content cadence. RV does not post to Instagram, does not share your data with other restaurants, and does not aggregate your data into cross-tenant models.

How long until I see results?

Day 1 is usually cleanup: review drafts, profile gaps, and the first post and photo queue. Ranking and traffic impact depends on competition, location, and profile history, so RV shows the work and the grid movement side by side.

What if I have multiple locations?

RV learns one voice profile per restaurant brand, and you can set banned phrases and publish modes per location. A side-by-side compare view lets you put any two locations against each other on reviews, photos, posts, and audit score.

How is RV different from Birdeye or Podium?

RV is focused on Google profile execution for restaurants. It is not a full reputation suite, CRM, messaging platform, or enterprise sales product. The narrow scope keeps it simple and built for how restaurants actually work.

Early access

Simple enough for one location. Built for groups too.

$50 / location / month

Founding member pricing, locked in for as long as you stay. One flat rate per location, every workflow included. 14-day free trial. Nothing charged until day 15. Cancel anytime.
