FAQ
Food photography FAQs

Why does professional food photography matter for online orders?
Guests order with their eyes. Consistent, appetising photos make dishes easier to choose and more tempting — restaurants using full-menu photography see up to 30% higher click-through on their ordering pages.
What does a Zapio Menu food shoot include?
A photographer, videographer and food stylist come to your restaurant. We plan the shot list with you, style every dish, shoot photos and short videos, then retouch and deliver them in every format you need.
Do you shoot videos and reels too?
Yes — social reels for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, 10–20 second dish videos for your ordering page, brand films, kitchen behind-the-scenes, promo videos and guest testimonials.
Will the photos be added to my online menu?
Yes. After the shoot we upload the finished images straight to your Zapio Menu ordering platform — website, app, QR and tablet menus — and give you the full gallery for social media and print.
Where do you shoot?
On location at your restaurant anywhere in the UAE, using your own kitchen, plates and dining room so the photos look authentically yours.
What formats will I receive?
Square images for menus and Instagram, vertical video for reels and stories, wide images for your website and ads, and cut-outs on white or transparent backgrounds — optimised for web, social, print and email.
