What you get

Cinematic food scenes — steam, pours, cheese pulls, sauce at the edge of frame, macro texture and controlled lighting, built to look shot rather than generated
Platform-ready cuts — 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 1:1 and 16:9 for Meta and YouTube, plus square menu thumbnails for delivery apps
Menu and seasonal batches — a full menu refresh or a festive calendar produced as one batch, at a lower per-video rate than a single spot
Zero shoot logistics — no stylist, no props, no chef standing by at 6am while the dish wilts under the lights

Why restaurants stopped booking shoot days

A restaurant shoot is a logistics problem before it is a creative one. You need a food stylist, a studio, props, a slow-motion rig for the pour and the steam, and a chef on set early enough that the dish is still hot when it is filmed. One day can cost more than a year of social content, and by the time the footage is edited the menu has already moved on.

That economics explains why most restaurants post the same three clips for two years. A new menu goes out as a phone photo on a tablecloth. The delivery platforms get whatever was shot last time. Seasonal campaigns get skipped entirely, because there is no budget left after the shoot day.

AI production removes the shoot, not the craft. You brief us on the dish and the brand, and we build the scene around it. To be straight with you: this is not a replacement for photographing your signature dish accurately for a printed menu. It is how you get twenty pieces of appetite-driven content a month without twenty shoot days, and why a dish you have never had budget to film can finally have an ad.

How it works

Step 1 — Send the dish brief
Dish name, the menu, brand colours and logo, any photos you already have, and where the video is going: Reels, a delivery app, a paid campaign. Ten minutes of your time.
Step 2 — We build the scene
Script, AI visuals, sound design, subtitles and the platform cuts in the right aspect ratios. 24-48 hours, revisions included.
Step 3 — Run it and iterate
Post the variants, keep the openers that hold attention, and refresh the winners for the next menu change without re-briefing from scratch.

Questions, answered

How much does an AI food commercial cost?
AI food commercials start at $70 per video with revisions included, and the first sample is $40. A traditional studio day with a food stylist, props and an edit costs many times that for a single usable spot, which is why most restaurants only have one.
Will the food look like our actual dishes?
Send us photos of the real dishes and we build the scene around them. For a printed menu or a close-up hero shot of a signature plate, a real photograph is still the honest answer. Where this route earns its place is atmosphere, appetite, seasonal promos, delivery-app thumbnails and paid creative: the volume work that never gets budgeted.
What do you need from us to start?
The dish or dishes, your menu and prices if they appear on screen, brand colours and logo, any existing photography, and the platforms you are posting to so each cut lands in the right aspect ratio.
How fast can we turn around a new menu launch?
24-48 hours per video from an approved brief. A ten-dish menu is typically a three to four day batch. Tell us the launch date and we will work backwards from it.
Which platforms do the cuts work on?
Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Meta and YouTube ads, plus square thumbnails for Swiggy, Zomato, Talabat and Deliveroo menus. We render each format rather than cropping a single master.
