FAQ

Questions Restaurant Teams Ask Before Hiring

Short answers, clear expectations.

How is restaurant photography priced?
Pricing is based on the shoot scope, number of dishes, space coverage, usage, and timeline. Most restaurant work is custom quoted.
Do you work with brand guidelines?
Yes. We align on brand references, plating style, and shot priorities before the shoot, then deliver an organized library easy to review and use.
How do you work around service hours and covers?
We schedule around your service hours — typically before opening, between lunch and dinner, or after close. Your team stays focused on guests.
Can you capture photo and video in the same shoot?
Yes. We regularly capture stills and short-form video together in a single production, keeping your visual library consistent across formats.
What does delivery look like?
Curated final assets in organized folders, ready for your website, Google Business, OpenTable, social, and print. Formats confirmed at proposal stage.
What is the turnaround time?
Typically 48 to 72 hours for photography. We confirm delivery dates in your proposal and can support rush needs when scheduling allows.
How does licensing work?
Standard usage covers your own brand channels. Extended usage for paid media, PR, or third parties can be added if needed.
Do you travel?
Yes. We work nationwide and support destination restaurant projects depending on scope and schedule.
