Step 4

Make sure the photo is high-quality

Use the following criteria:

Clarity Color Location and collages

For a photo to be high-quality, take it from a shorter distance instead of using an editor to enlarge it. This way, the photo won’t be pixelated. Also make sure that the item is in focus.

Photos must show the real color of the item, so shoot in the daylight when it’s not too bright.
Try not to use filters to meet user expectations.
Remember: whites need to stay white

When making a collage, make sure that all objects are on the same plane. This helps maintain the correct perspective and proportions of items, plates, and decorations. Poor-quality collages distort how users perceive portion size.

Step 5

Make sure the photo matches the menu item

Otherwise, we can't publish the photo

Last but not least

The main photo: mshowcasing your restaurant

The main photo is the first thing users see on your restaurant’s page.
Try to make the main photo attractive and informative so it reflects your cuisine and concept.

Suitable background

Use a background that doesn’t conflict with the app background: white or black won’t do.

Follow the rules

Make sure there’s no alcohol or tobacco in the photo. Make sure there aren’t any people or hands in the photo.

Photo content

The main photo should show 1-3 dishes with decorative elements, like tableware, napkins, or drinks. The shooting angle can be from 20° to 60°.

Try not to overload the main photo. Too many dishes can distract and confuse users.

After you’ve checked everything, you can upload the photos!
