On 5 January 2026, the Big Food Chains go silent.
While the giants are legally banned from showing their food, Repgro gives you the tools to shout louder than ever.
The billion-pound brands have had it their way for decades. They outspent you, out-advertised you, and pushed your independent cafe to page two of Google. But the rules just changed. The 2026 HFSS ban has gagged the giants. They can no longer show a single burger or a crispy wing in a paid ad. But as an independent business, you are exempt. This is the biggest competitive advantage you will ever have—if you know how to use it.
Why the "Independent" is the New King of Local Search
Don't Delay
Restaurant owners know their customers want quality, but they need to see it to believe it.
In 2026, "seeing it" becomes a legal minefield for the big guys.
​
-
The Paid Ad Vacuum: When McDonald's can't pay to show a Big Mac, the space on your customer's phone opens up. Since you are an SME, your paid ads are 100% legal.
-
The Map Pack is the New TV: Without TV ads, customers will rely entirely on the "Map Pack" to decide where to eat.
-
Social Proof is Unstoppable: The government can ban a brand's ad, but they can't ban a customer's review. Repgro turns your tables into a content-generating machine.
Giant-Killer" System
-
The Automated Review Engine: Our NFC-enabled cards don't just ask for stars; they prompt for photos and video. In 2026, customer-uploaded "food porn" is the most valuable legal currency you have.

-
Local SEO Domination: We don't just manage reviews; we optimise your presence. While big brands struggle with "brand-only" vague messaging, you’ll sit at #1 on Google Maps with a feed full of mouth-watering proof.

The "Owned" Loophole: We help you build an SMS and Email list. No ad ban can stop you from reaching out to 1,000 local fans with a photo of your Friday Special.
You cook the food. .

Turning Reviews
into Revenue
-
The Power of the Map Pack: 92% of customers choose a restaurant from the top three Google Map results. Repgro’s software is engineered to push you into that "3-Pack" by increasing your review velocity and recency.
​

The "Authentic Ad" Loophole: In 2026, you can't pay for a product ad—but you can promote a 5-star review. We help you turn your best customer feedback into high-performing social media content that is 100% legal under the new ban.
​
-
Internalising Negativity: Our system includes a "Divert" feature. If a customer has a bad experience, our software catches it before they post it publicly, giving you the chance to fix the issue privately and save your 5-star average.
