The only creator marketplace built for food — restaurants, cafes, dessert shops, bagel spots.
Why we built Hexa
How it works
Five steps from brief to a post that's live.
- 01
Create a campaign
Your brief, the vibe, the comp amount, how many seats.
- 02
Local creators apply
You see their recent work and trust tier. You pick.
- 03
They film on location
A real visit at your spot — filmed to your content brief.
- 04
They pay, then submit
Receipt plus the live post, location-verified.
- 05
You approve and reimburse
The meal is the pay. Every post is tracked.
Briefs, proof and performance. One platform.
Creators come to you. Write the brief once. Local creators apply to your seats — you pick who represents you.
The busy work is handled. Auto reminders keep every creator on schedule, from booked visit to posted video.
Proof before payment. Receipt plus a location-verified post. Nothing gets reimbursed until you approve it.
Know it's working. Views, shares and saves per post across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook — plus in-store attribution.
Why Hexa
Social status is the product. Views are the receipt.
The feed is the new front door
People decide where to eat while scrolling. If you're not in the feed, you're not on the list.
The meal is the pay
A $10 bagel or a $60 dinner instead of a four-figure talent fee. Same video, a fraction of the cost.
Proof, not promises
A receipt and a location-verified post before anyone gets reimbursed. Real visits only.
Built for food, not general UGC
Briefs, comp structures and tracking made for restaurants, cafes and dessert shops.
The new standard for restaurant marketing
Three ways to get content made. One where the meal is the whole budget.
| Hexa | Doing it yourself | Hiring an agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finding creators | Local creators apply to your campaign | Cold DMs, mostly ignored | A short roster you didn't pick |
| Vetting | Trust tiers plus their last three posts | You guess from a grid | You trust their word |
| Consistency | A set number of creator seats every month | Whenever someone says yes | Whenever the campaign runs |
| Proof of visit | Receipt plus a location-verified post | You take their word for it | Reported after the fact |
| Reporting | Views, shares and in-store attribution in one dashboard | A note in your phone | A monthly PDF, maybe |
| Cost | From $299/mo plus the cost of the meal | Free, until you count your hours | Five-figure retainer plus talent fees |
