BEHYPE
Marketplace matching local food creators with restaurants in exchange for a meal
BEHYPE is an app where restaurants, hotels and salons create a free profile and receive collaboration requests from verified local Instagram and TikTok creators, who visit and post content in return for the experience rather than a fee. The venue reviews each creator's profile and statistics before accepting, and can reuse the content on its own channels. The platform reports 3,500+ creators and 1,500+ partner establishments across 40 French cities.
Our reading. Best for French restaurants and bars that want a steady flow of Instagram and TikTok content without paying an agency or creators in cash.
