For creators

Restaurants come to you.

You already post food and neighborhood life where you live. BoothBuzz is the team independent restaurants hire to run their social — and when one of our clients in your city wants a creator collab, we make the introduction: comped meals and paid collabs, with the terms agreed before you walk in. No cold DMs, ever again.

What's in it for you

BoothBuzz is paid by the restaurants — joining the creator pool costs you nothing, and here's what it gets you.

Restaurants come to you
The worst part of being a local creator is the cold DM. Skip it. BoothBuzz runs social for independent restaurants — when one of our clients in your city wants a creator collab, we introduce you directly. They already have marketing budget and intent; you never pitch into the void.
Real deals, agreed upfront
Dine-and-post comps and paid collabs come with a written brief before you walk in: what's comped, what's paid, what you're posting, by when. No awkward "so… do I still pay?" moment at the table, no renegotiating in DMs afterward. We broker the terms; you make the content.
First taste of your city
Openings, menu launches, behind-the-pass access — being on the shortlist means first crack at the stories in your neighborhood before they're everyone's content. Matches are local only: your city, your niche. We never shop your handle outside them.

Add yourself

Tell us where you post.

Drop the platform you post on, your handle, and your city. If you'd rather not share an email or follower count, leave them blank — we work with what you give us.

  • City is how restaurants find you. Use its proper name — “Portland”, not “pdx” — and add your state so the right Portland finds you.
  • No spam, no newsletter. Your email stays private, and the only message you'll ever get is a real collab from a real restaurant in your city. Until then, silence is normal.
  • Every format counts. Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, photo posts — pick the platform where your food content actually lives.
Quick intake
Seven fields — we use them to match you with the right restaurants in your city.

Pick the channel where most of your food/lifestyle coverage lives.

With or without the leading "@" — we strip it.

One short phrase — "food", "neighborhood dining", "cocktails".

The city you mainly post from — use its proper name.

Optional, but it keeps Portland OR out of Portland ME's shortlist.

Optional. Leave blank if you'd rather not say.

Optional. BoothBuzz only — we don't sell it or list it on the public shortlist.

We'll reach out only when a local restaurant's AM is scoping a pitch.
