How Your Agent Works

You text it. It does the work. Here's exactly what that looks like — from day one to month twelve.

Real Example

What "Text It" Actually Means

This is a real workflow. Owner texts their agent. Agent handles it.

You (Owner)
[Photo of tonight's special — ribeye + truffle fries] Just ran this tonight, sold out in 2 hours
Your 87 Agent
On it. Writing 3 caption options for this — going with the one that hits the weekend crowd. Posting Friday at 6pm when your engagement peaks. Also flagging: you've got an unanswered 1-star from last Tuesday about wait times. Want me to respond now?
You (Owner)
Yeah respond to the review and go with caption #2
Your 87 Agent
Done. Review responded. Post scheduled Friday 6pm. You're at 3 posts this week — on cadence. Running low on Tito's btw, you're at 60% of par. Supplier discount window opens Monday if you want to order ahead.
This entire exchange takes 90 seconds. Your agency does this in 3–5 business days — if they do it at all.

How We Get There

From Signed to Running
in Under Two Weeks

1

Consultation & Fit

15-minute call. We listen more than we talk. We need to understand your operation, your team, and where you're bleeding time and money before we propose anything.

You walk away with: A clear picture of what your agent would do for your specific place — and what you'd stop paying for.
2

Build & Integration

We build your agent. Wire it into your socials, Google listing, review platforms, and any POS or inventory systems you're running. We handle all of it — you don't touch a settings screen.

Typical setup time: 7–10 days. We've seen operators spend 2 hours just on Meta Business Manager alone. That's our job, not yours.
3

Voice Training & Cadence

We train your agent on your brand voice, your regulars, your tone — so it sounds like you, not like a corporate template. We also set your weekly content cadence and tell you exactly what your team needs to shoot.

Result: Your newest host can run this on a slow Tuesday. It's that straightforward.
4

Launch & Handoff

We walk you through the agent live, show you exactly how to text it, and run a week-one together so nothing falls through. Then you're running.

Ongoing (Managing Partner): We keep tuning, updating integrations, and delivering monthly scorecards. You own the system; we keep it sharp.
