AI video for food and restaurants
Make the menu move, without a film crew in the kitchen.
AI video for restaurants turns dish photos and a short description into a captioned clip. VIDEO AI ME animates the images, adds narration or an on-screen presenter, and schedules the vertical cuts to the accounts that bring bookings and delivery orders.
Why is video still rare in restaurants?
The blocker is production, not intent. Filming, editing and re-cutting per channel is what keeps most teams on photos and text.
The kitchen is not a studio
Service hours and a crew do not mix, so filming happens rarely and the menu moves faster than the footage.
Menus change with the season
Each new dish, special or delivery offer needs its own creative, which is why most of them never get one.
Photos alone lose the feed
Local discovery happens in video placements, and a still plate competes badly against motion.
What can you make for restaurants?
Each of these starts from text you already have, and ends as a captioned video in the formats your channels use.
Dish and menu clips
Animate the plate photo and let the description carry the craving.
Offer and delivery ads
Promote a deal, a delivery window or a new location.
Venue introductions
Show what the room feels like before someone books.
Local language versions
Narration for the languages your neighbourhood speaks.
How do you make a restaurant video?
- 01
Start from what you already wrote
A page, a description or an outline is enough to draft the script for a restaurant video. You keep editing it until it says what you mean.
- 02
Pick the actor and the voice
Choose from 300+ AI actors, or create a custom actor from a single photo, then pick a narrator voice or use your cloned one.
- 03
Approve the storyboard
You see the frames and the cost before any video credits are spent, so nothing expensive happens without your go-ahead.
- 04
Export the cuts and publish
Burn in captions, export the vertical and horizontal versions, then schedule them to 15 social platforms from the same workspace.
Which format should each channel get?
One script, several cuts. Each aspect ratio is its own export, so the vertical and the horizontal versions can carry different hooks.
| Channel | Format | What works |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram and TikTok | 9:16 | Dish first, captions on |
| Google Business | 9:16 and 1:1 | What is on the menu now |
| Delivery promotions | 9:16 | Offer, window and area |
| Website and bookings | 16:9 | Venue and menu overview |
Where do restaurant videos get published?
Each platform page covers the format, the length and the opening that channel rewards, for this industry.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make food videos from photos only?
Yes. Dish photos can be animated into short camera moves and assembled into a clip with narration and captions, so a new menu item can get a video the day the photo is taken.
How much does a restaurant video cost to make?
Plans start at $29 a month with 1,400 credits on Starter, where one credit is one cent. Each run quotes its credit cost before you confirm it, so a short dish clip costs a fraction of a long video.
Do I need a camera, a studio or actors?
No. Videos are generated from text and images: you write or paste the message, pick from 300+ AI actors or create a custom actor from a single photo, and the narration comes from text-to-speech or your cloned voice. Nothing is filmed.
Which formats and platforms are supported?
Vertical 9:16, horizontal 16:9 and square 1:1 cover the usual placements. Publishing and scheduling reach 15 social platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn, from the same place the videos are generated.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $29 a month with 1,400 credits on Starter, where one credit is one cent. Every run quotes its credit cost before you confirm, so short clips and long videos are never billed the same.
