About this app

ShowPlate connects restaurants with local food creators, and handles the whole collaboration from first application to final payment.

FOR RESTAURANTS

Post a brief describing what you want: a launch, a new menu, or steady content for your channels. Creators near you apply with their bid, audience stats, and sample work, ranked by ShowPlate's Value Score so the strongest fit rises to the top. Pick your creator and pay through the app; your money is held securely and only released after you approve the content. If a creator declines, lets an offer expire, or never posts, you're automatically refunded.

Prefer to trade a table for content? ShowPlate Plus lets you post comped-meal briefs: you fund the meal's value when you book a creator, they dine like a regular guest, and the reimbursement is only paid out once you approve their post.

FOR CREATORS

Browse briefs from real restaurants near you. Bid your price on paid campaigns, or apply to comped-meal visits with one tap. Your engagement score does the talking: connect Instagram or TikTok and restaurants see verified stats, not screenshots. When your content is approved, you're paid your full bid straight to your bank through Stripe, no invoices to chase. On comped meals, pay for your visit like any other guest and get the full meal value reimbursed after approval.

HOW THE MONEY WORKS

Every deal is backed by funds held up front. Restaurants pay when they book, creators see the money committed before they start, and payouts release automatically on approval. Disputes are mediated by the ShowPlate team.

Rolling out city by city. Restaurant subscriptions and account management are available at showplate.co.

What’s new

Comped-meal collaborations now work in a simpler way: the restaurant funds the meal's value when they book you, you pay for your visit like any other guest, and the full amount is reimbursed after your content is approved. No more upfront deposit. Plus one-tap applications to comped briefs and new payment notifications.
