Social that looks like the room
Plan and post to Instagram, TikTok and Facebook for the restaurant. Shoot short vertical video and dish photos on your phone during quiet hours, then edit and schedule them.
Careers at Dinify
Restaurant Marketing Specialist
Our restaurants keep asking for the same thing: someone who can actually market them. So we are building a small bench of marketing people, contracted by Dinify and placed with the restaurants on our platform. One venue to start, more as you have room for them.
The role
What you would do for a restaurant
Independent restaurants rarely have a marketing person. The owner is on the floor. Your job is to keep the restaurant visible, month after month, without needing to be managed.
Google and the map pin
Keep the Google Business Profile accurate, post updates and specials, and reply to reviews in the owner's voice. Most local guests decide right here.
Promos guests act on
Turn slow days into a reason to visit: lunch offers, seasonal specials, combos and holiday pushes, planned with the owner and scheduled ahead.
Email, SMS and loyalty
Run campaigns to the restaurant's own guest list through Dinify, promote loyalty and gift cards, and keep every send compliant with Canada's anti-spam law.
Neighbourhood presence
Local partnerships, nearby offices and hotels, community events, student and tourist traffic. The work that only happens with someone on the ground.
A short monthly recap
What ran, what it cost, what came back. One clear page the owner can read in five minutes, not a tour of a dashboard.
What we need from you
- A year or more running social media or local marketing for a real business, ideally food, hospitality or retail
- You can shoot and edit short vertical video on a phone and make food look good in ordinary light
- Clear, natural written English and a feel for a brand's voice
- Comfortable in a working restaurant, around service, without getting in the way
- Self-managed and reliable: you plan the month, you hit the dates, you tell the owner early when something slips
- Your own phone and laptop, and you can get to the venues in Vancouver in person
- Legally entitled to work in Canada
Helpful, not required
- Experience with Google Business Profile, Meta Business Suite, Canva or CapCut
- You have worked front of house or in a kitchen and know how a service actually runs
- A second language spoken by guests in your city
- Familiar with CASL consent rules for email and text campaigns
- Basic paid social: a small boosted-post budget, spent carefully
- A portfolio, a reel, or accounts you can point to
If you meet most of the first list and none of the second, apply anyway. We would rather see the work you have done than a matching checklist.
The arrangement
How the contract works
- You contract with Dinify, not with each restaurant, so there is one agreement, one point of contact and one schedule.
- Dinify places you with one restaurant to start, and more as you have capacity. Most venues need a steady part-time rhythm rather than full days.
- The work is a mix: on site at the venue to shoot and to meet the owner, the rest from wherever you work best.
- You get access to the restaurant's Dinify tools for campaigns, loyalty and results, plus templates and onboarding from our team.
- This is an independent contractor engagement, not employment. You invoice for your work and look after your own taxes.
Compensation: $18.35 to $24 per hour
