Create wherever you eatStart with a restaurant

Bring the idea. The restaurant approves the campaign. EAT powers the workflow.

The opportunity

Restaurants need content. You know how to make it.

Most restaurants do not have a full-time content team. EAT gives them a way to work with creators who understand their city, audience, and what people actually want to watch.

See a story? Start there. Suggestions can inspire you, but they never limit where you create.

How creators earn

From idea to approved campaign.

01

Choose

Start with where you are eating, a neighborhood favorite, or anywhere that inspires an idea.

02

Pitch

Have the human conversation, then let the owner or manager review and approve the campaign.

03

Create

Make original content in your style, supported by EAT's brief, consent, and submission tools.

04

Get paid

Complete both approval steps and receive the campaign pay shown before you began.

Creative freedom

Make something people want to watch.

Interview a chef. Tell a founder's story. Review a hidden-menu item. Film behind the counter. Host a street-food podcast. EAT gives you formats and campaign tools—not a script.

EAT can reshare and amplify approved work through the specific channels committed in the campaign.

Do the work. Build the body of work. Become the brand.

Impact

Create something useful. Help build something bigger.

Every EAT transaction helps fund hunger and hunger awareness. Official hunger partner: Feed the Children. Separately confirmed meal donations are recorded by EAT, with qualifying year-end documentation provided through WYDE Foundation.

Questions

Do I choose the restaurant?

Yes. Start with any restaurant you genuinely want to approach.

Does it need to be listed?

No. Search and suggestions are optional tools, not the boundary of where you can create.

Do I need a large following?

No. EAT values useful creative work and can support approved campaigns with network distribution.

Do I need separate accounts?

No. EAT onboarding creates your Card and Street Team creator account together.

When do I get paid?

Each campaign shows its pay and conditions before you begin. Payment follows completed, approved work.

Who approves the content?

EAT moderates it first. The restaurant then approves it against the agreed brief before publication.
