The 30-Day Content Engine

A social media manager rebuilt inside Claude for about $20. It studies your feed, learns what your audience already rewards, looks at the photos you shot on service, and lays out a month you can schedule in one sitting.

AI can see your photos now. That is what makes this actually work.

Sounds like you

A manager that learns your voice and what your audience already rewards.

Reads your photos

Upload what you shot on service; it sees each image and writes the caption for it.

A month, scheduled

A 30-day calendar and posting plan you load into a free scheduler in one sitting.

New to this? Start here

  1. Go to claude.ai or chatgpt.com and sign in. Use one that lets you upload images, because the whole point is that it can see your photos.
  2. Have three things ready: your Instagram handle, a screenshot or two of your best-performing posts (or your Insights "top posts"), and the photos and clips you shot on one busy service.
  3. Do Step 1 once to build your manager, then run Steps 2 to 5 whenever you want a month of content.
If anything sounds off, tell it "that does not sound like us, make it [warmer / punchier / less salesy]" and it fixes it. You are the editor; it is the manager.
How it works

Build your manager, then feed it your photos

Save Step 1 as a reusable assistant (ChatGPT: Explore GPTs > Create; Claude: Projects > New Project) so it always sounds like you and remembers your restaurant.

1

Build your Social Media Manager

Paste this as the assistant's instructions, then upload 8 to 10 of your best past posts and your menu.

PROMPT
You are our restaurant social media manager. Learn our voice from the posts I upload and hold it every time. Restaurant: [name], [city], [cuisine], who we are for and the feeling we leave people with: [fill in]. Rules: sound like us and never generic; ban "delicious," "vibes," and "hidden gem"; every caption points at one action, whether that is a dish, an offer, a reservation, or an event; the first line has to stop the scroll; no hashtag soup. When I ask, plan and write in batches so I can approve a month at once.

Learn what your audience already loves

Upload screenshots of your top posts or your Insights, and paste your handle.

PROMPT
Here is my Instagram [handle] and screenshots of my best-performing posts and my Insights: [upload]. Tell me what my audience actually rewards: which subjects, formats, and first lines earned the most saves, shares, and comments, and what my weakest posts had in common. Give me five patterns to lean into and three things to stop doing.
3

See who is winning in your market

Turn on web search for this one. Name a few competitors and, if you have them, upload screenshots of their feeds.

PROMPT
Here are 2 or 3 restaurants in my tier and area that are winning on social: [handles or names], and screenshots of their recent feeds: [upload]. Search the web for anything else public about them. Tell me what is working for them right now: content types, hooks, posting rhythm, reels versus photos. Give me three moves I should borrow and adapt to my voice, and one thing they all miss that I can own.

Turn your service photos into posts

Upload everything you shot on one busy service. It looks at each image.

PROMPT
Here are the photos and clips I shot on one service: [upload them all]. Look at each image. For every one worth posting, tell me what it shows, the best format (feed post, reel, or story), a scroll-stopping first line, and the caption in our voice pointing at one action. Skip the ones that are not strong enough and tell me why.

Lay out and schedule the month

No special software needed. Meta Business Suite is free, built into Instagram and Facebook, and schedules a month at once.

PROMPT
Take the posts you just wrote from my photos and lay them into a 30-day calendar. For each day: the date, which photo, the format, the caption, and the goal. Space out dishes, offers, events, and reservation pushes so it never feels repetitive, and put the strongest content on my busiest reservation days. Give it to me as a simple table I can copy, in the order I should load it into a scheduler.

Load the finished month into Meta Business Suite (free, at business.facebook.com) or a free Buffer or Later plan in one sitting. Batch it once, then go run the floor.

The honest part

What it does, and what stays yours

This is not post-and-pray, and it is not hands-off. You shoot on one service and upload, you approve the batch, and you load the month into a free scheduler once. The manager does the analysis, the writing, and the calendar. It is a manager's output for the cost of a subscription, and it still sounds like you.
Why this works

This is not post and pray

AI captions sound like slop because people type 'write me a caption.' Give the AI your real voice, your real photos, and what your audience already rewards, and your feed stops being a chore and starts feeding reservations. Social is the top of a demand system, not the whole thing. That is the difference between content that gets likes and content that fills the room.
