Competitor agent · Restaurant & Hospitality

Social media competitor analysis for restaurants

The Competitor agent follows other restaurants and bars nearby, explains what is working for them and why, and translates it into ideas that fit warm, specific about the food and never over-polished — without copying a word.

The problem

You already check what other restaurants and bars nearby post. It just doesn't turn into anything.

Competitor research usually means scrolling feeds, screenshotting a few posts and forgetting why they mattered. It feels productive and rarely changes what you post next.

What restaurants need isn't a list of what others did — it's the pattern behind it (the format, the hook, the timing) and a clear call on whether it suits your restaurant at all.

We only make this one when the fish is right, not on a schedule. Tonight it's right. Table for two, or ask for it to go.

How it works

What the Competitors agent does, step by step.

Restaurants on Instagram and TikTok. Every step ends in a draft, not an action.

  1. 01

    Choose who to track

    You pick the accounts — typically other restaurants and bars nearby, plus a few you admire outside your niche.

  2. 02

    Watch the public posts

    The agent reads their public posts and engagement patterns. It never interacts with their accounts.

  3. 03

    Explain the why

    For posts that stand out, it notes the hook, format and topic, and why it likely landed.

  4. 04

    Translate, don't copy

    Useful patterns become suggestions for your own content — e.g. your version of the story behind a menu item.

What you get

Drafts you can use, with the reasons attached.

Part of the Competitor research side of Oryxia, reading from the same brand memory as the other six agents.

  • A tracked list of other restaurants and bars nearby, with notes per account
  • Weekly pattern notes: formats, hooks and topics gaining traction
  • “Your version” suggestions, rewritten for your voice
  • Hooks worth saving, sent to your Hook library as patterns
Draft · awaiting your approval

Inspiration in. Nothing out without you.

The Competitor agent only reads public posts and only suggests. It never comments, follows, messages or posts anything.

  1. 1You choose every tracked account
  2. 2Suggestions become briefs only when you accept them
  3. 3No interaction with competitor accounts, ever

A good fit if

  • You keep an eye on other restaurants and bars nearby already
  • You want the pattern, not a screenshot folder
  • You care about staying original

Not a fit if

  • You want to clone a competitor's feed — the agent is designed to translate patterns, not reproduce posts.
  • You want a delivery-platform or reservations integration — Oryxia drafts content and replies; your booking system stays yours.

FAQ

Fair questions.

01Will competitors know I'm tracking them?

No. The agent reads public posts only and never follows, likes, comments or messages. It's the same information you'd see by scrolling, organised for you.

02How many accounts can I track?

Enough to cover other restaurants and bars nearby and a few outside inspirations; exact limits depend on your plan and are listed on the pricing page.

03Will it understand how a restaurant like mine talks to diners?

It starts from a 30-minute brand interview and your own past posts, aiming for warm, specific about the food and never over-polished. Your do-not-say list — for restaurants, usually allergen answers the kitchen hasn't confirmed, and menu or price details that have changed — is enforced on every draft, and you approve each one.
