Getting started
What is EatFot Social?
EatFot Social is a restaurant-focused photo and content planning tool. You can upload pictures of your dishes, write or edit social captions, save drafts and organize future posts in one place. Visit our Features page for an overview.
How do I start using the photo tool?
Open the EatFot photo workspace on the homepage and sign in. Restaurant accounts may require approval before they can upload photos. Once your account has access, select food pictures, upload them and prepare your first caption. Our How It Works guide explains the process.
Do I need design, coding or marketing experience?
No coding is needed to use the photo workspace. The main workflow is straightforward: upload a photo, give the dish a clear name, review the caption and save it as a draft or content plan. You remain responsible for checking the accuracy of anything you intend to publish.
Is EatFot suitable for a small restaurant?
Yes, the workspace is designed around practical tasks such as organizing daily specials, menu photos and food promotions. The current account view is intended for an individual restaurant user; advanced multi-location team management is not currently part of the tool.
Photos and captions
Which image formats and upload limits are supported?
The current tool accepts JPG, PNG and WebP food images. You can select up to 10 photos in one upload batch, with a maximum of 5 MB per file. The current library limit is 100 photo records per approved account, subject to your site's hosting limits.
Can I edit a dish name, caption and hashtags?
Yes. Each saved photo has editable dish name and caption fields. Add natural hashtags that describe the actual dish or restaurant. Click Save Draft after making changes so the updated text is saved in your account.
Does the AI Caption button work for everyone?
AI captions are optional and depend on a correctly configured third-party AI API, available quota and project eligibility. The tool also works without AI: you can write and save your own captions at any time. AI-generated details should always be reviewed before publishing.
Are uploaded photos completely private?
Your photo management controls are account-restricted, but WordPress media URLs may be accessible to anyone who has the image link. Do not upload confidential material or photos you do not have permission to use. Read our Terms of Service for usage responsibilities.
Planning and publishing
What is the difference between Save Draft, Save Plan and Schedule LIVE?
Save Draft stores your photo and caption without posting it. Save Plan adds a future date to your content plan but does not publish anything. Schedule LIVE is a separate action that requires a connected supported account, valid permissions, a future time and your explicit confirmation.
Does EatFot automatically post to Facebook and Instagram?
Facebook and Instagram publishing requires an approved Meta app, authorized Page/Instagram professional account, the required permissions and a functioning scheduler. This integration is not automatically active when you create an EatFot account. Google Business Profile publishing is not currently connected. Learn more from How It Works.
Will scheduled posts always publish at the exact time?
Not necessarily. WordPress WP-Cron may run only when your website receives traffic, so exact timing is not guaranteed. A properly configured server cron improves reliability. Account permissions, image compatibility and external platform availability can also affect a scheduled post.
Can I choose my restaurant's timezone?
Yes. Approved users can select a timezone in the workspace before planning future posts. Always check the displayed timezone and local date/time before scheduling. If you have not chosen one, the tool may use the site timezone or UTC.
Accounts and support
Can I delete a photo after uploading it?
Yes. The tool provides a Delete action for your own saved photo records. Deleting an EatFot library item does not remove a post that has already been published to Facebook or Instagram. Those posts must be managed separately on the relevant platform.
What happens if a social publishing attempt fails?
When live publishing is configured, the tool can mark an attempted post as failed or partially published. Review the error and platform connection before attempting a retry. Successful posts on one channel may need separate handling from failed ones.
Is there a paid subscription or public pricing plan?
Subscription payments and a public self-serve pricing page are not active in the current version. Do not assume that a paid plan or specific monthly price is available. For current access information, please contact the EatFot team.
