From the field

Built for how restaurants actually work.

“Running a restaurant means you're pulled in ten directions before the doors even open. VERA takes care of the work I shouldn't have to do at midnight - replying to reviews, posting our specials, promoting the slow nights, and keeping our regulars in the loop. I stay in control by approving everything, but I'm not glued to my phone after every service anymore.”

Marco Bianchi

Owner

“We used to let reviews sit for a week. Now VERA drafts a reply to every one - the glowing ones and the tough ones - and I just approve from the pass. Our rating actually started climbing.”

Sofia Reyes

General Manager

“Tuesdays were killing us. VERA now drafts a promo to our regulars whenever a night looks slow, I tap approve, and the room fills up. That alone paid for it.”

Daniel Cho

Owner

“I never had time to post the daily special. VERA writes the caption, picks the timing, and waits for my okay. Our Instagram finally looks like a place people want to eat.”

Amara Okafor

Chef-Owner

“Following up on no-shows used to fall through the cracks. VERA drafts the win-back message and I approve it in a second. We're getting people back for a second visit.”

Luca Romano

General Manager

“I was about to hire a marketing person. Instead VERA handles the posts, the reviews, and the emails to our regulars, and I approve everything on my phone. Saved me a salary.”

Priya Anand

Owner

What credits get you

Real per-action costs from the product.

Draft a post, email, or reply3 credits
Create a full content calendar25 credits
Research your competitors25 credits
Analyze business data or a report20–50 credits
Run an approved automation5–25 credits
Heavy agent task (web + tools)50–150 credits

Your plan’s monthly credits work across all of these, mix and match drafts, research, and automations however you like.

How credits work

What uses credits?: AI work: drafting content, research, analysis, and running approved automations. Simple chats cost the least; heavy agent tasks cost more.
Do unused credits roll over?: Your monthly plan allowance resets each billing cycle. Credit packs you buy separately roll over and don't expire.
Can I buy more credits?: Yes, add credit packs anytime (from $10 for 500 credits), or turn on auto top-up so work never stalls.
What are the plan limits?: Each plan includes a set number of seats, connected integrations, and scheduled tasks (see each card). Approval and automation capabilities also step up by plan.
What does that look like in practice?: Using the per-action costs above, Growth's 2,500 monthly credits cover roughly 800 drafted posts, or 100 competitor research runs, or 100 full content calendars a month, mix and match however you work.
What do I get during the 7-day trial?: A limited pool of trial credits to explore VERA, enough to evaluate it, not the full paid allowance. Upgrade anytime and your selected plan's full monthly credits and features unlock immediately.
What happens when I run out of credits?: The next AI action pauses before it runs (nothing is half-charged) and VERA prompts you to buy a credit pack or upgrade your plan. Work already completed is unaffected, and your monthly credits refill at the start of the next billing cycle. Turn on auto top-up and VERA adds a pack automatically so nothing stalls.

Frequently asked questions.

01Will VERA post or reply to guests without permission?

No. VERA never posts content, replies to a review, or sends a message on its own. It drafts everything and waits - you approve, edit, or decline every action.

02Does it work with Square?

Yes. VERA connects to Square, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Stripe, Mailchimp, and the other tools restaurants already run on. You connect by signing in - no API keys.

03Can VERA reply to my Google and Yelp reviews?

Yes. VERA watches your reviews, drafts a reply to each one, and flags the tough ones for your personal touch. Nothing posts until you approve it.

04Can it post our daily specials for us?

Yes. VERA drafts posts for specials, features, and events across Instagram and Facebook, then queues them for your approval.

05Can it help fill slow nights?

That's one of the first things restaurants turn on. VERA spots quiet shifts and drafts a promo - email, SMS, or social - to your regulars, ready for you to approve.

06Can multiple managers use VERA?

Yes. Growth and Pro plans include multiple seats so your management team can review and approve work together.

07Can I review everything before it happens?

Always. VERA is approval-first by design: propose → approve → execute. Nothing external happens without your say-so, and every action is logged.
