In the kitchen, the dining room and on the terrace: our restaurant shoots

Our method

From the first visit to a full house

A shooting schedule built around your services, not the other way round.

Step 01 01 Visit & diagnosis Pinpointing the slot to fill We look at your services, quiet days, signature dishes and current accounts to set a clear goal: weekday lunches, evenings, a new location.
Step 02 02 Shot list Dishes, gestures and key moments A list of dishes to film, service moments to capture and team members ready to speak. Nothing is left to chance on the day.
Step 03 03 On-site shoot At the pace of your service We shoot during or just before service to keep the room lively, without disturbing your team or your guests.
Step 04 04 Publishing & tracking Videos posted at the right time Editing, subtitles, a publishing calendar aligned with your services, then tracking of bookings and views.

Food formats

Videos that make people want to book

Each format answers a doubt customers have before choosing where to eat.

The dish arriving

A close-up of the plate as it's served: steam, sauce, the first cut. The format that sparks the craving.

Food & hospitality →︎

Lunch offer

Lunch trays, fast service, lunches with colleagues. That's how Shinko filled its lunchtimes.

Shinko case study →︎

Dining room tour

The food stations, the portions, the space: answering the question “is it worth the trip?”.

Globe Trotter case study →︎

Atmosphere & nights out

Cocktails, music, a packed room: for a lively venue, the energy matters as much as the menu.

Jōyō case study →︎

Food creators

A creator walks in, orders, tastes and gives their verdict. Effective for an opening or a new location.

Behind the scenes in the kitchen

The chef, the prep, the practised gesture. Behind-the-scenes content makes a venue feel familiar before the first visit.

In short

Video for restaurants: in brief

Updated

Can videos really fill a restaurant?

They act at the moment customers choose. 97% of consumers read online reviews before choosing a local business, according to BrightLocal (2026): the decision is made on the phone, before heading out. Our case studies show it on the ground: Shinko grew lunchtime revenue by 35%, and Jōyō passed 5 million views.

What videos should a restaurant shoot?

The dish arriving, the gesture in the kitchen, the packed room, the team speaking. Shot on site, in 9:16, subtitled. For details of the formats that work in food & hospitality and a list of our case studies in the sector, see our page food & hospitality.

Write to us

It depends on the number of dishes and formats planned. We set the duration and timing with you, before or during service, so as not to disrupt your team.

No. We shoot during normal service, with a small crew. A full dining room is part of what we want to show.

It's not compulsory, but a chef or server speaking to camera builds a strong bond with customers. We coach those who want to take part.

That's often the goal. Shinko targeted its weekday lunches with dedicated content and grew revenue on that slot by 35%.

Yes. For multiple locations, we build a common framework with local variations, as with the Chikin Bang series.

Yes, everywhere in France. Sushi Club, for example, was targeting a local audience outside Paris.
