Creating great menu photos: Best practices
🚨First things first: We do not allow cropped photos. If you upload a cropped photo, it won’t be saved on your menu.
Example of cropped photos (DONT):
Example of correct, uncropped photos (DOs):
Other helpful tips:
Accuracy: Your photo should clearly represent the item. Make sure the image shows 100% of the item, as cropped images are not allowed. Also, ensure the portion size matches reality. Avoid:
Including multiple items in one photo
Presenting the item in an unrealistic way
Misrepresenting portion sizes
Quality and focus: Use high-resolution images that are sharp and clear throughout.
Lighting: Make sure your items are well-lit with no overly exposed areas.
Consistency: All images should have the same format, free from extra graphics, text, or borders.
No people: The food should be the focus. Photos will be rejected if people take up more space in the frame than the food/product.

How do I add or edit my menu photos?
"We eat with our eyes first" is a saying that perfectly explains the importance of food pictures. Here’s why having pictures on your menu is important:
Informed choices: Photos help customers quickly decide what to order and assure them of the food's quality.
More engagement: Visuals are more engaging than text, drawing customers' attention.
Higher sales: Attractive photos can make customers hungrier, potentially increasing their order size and your profits.
💡 Quick tip: adding high-quality photos of main dishes to your menu could increase your venue’s order volume by up to 9%.
