Restaurants & cafes
More direct orders and full tables, from photos that sell and a site you own.
For independent restaurants, cafes and bars across Orange County and LA. We shoot the menu, run the feed, and build the site and ordering so the platforms stop taking a cut of every regular.
Sound familiar?
What we usually find on the first visit.
- The photos on DoorDash were taken on a phone three years ago.
- Instagram gets a post when someone remembers, which is not often.
- The website is on the POS company’s builder and takes seven seconds to load.
- Reservation requests come in by DM, text and a form nobody checks.
What we do for restaurants
Three fixes, in the order that pays back fastest.
Menu shoot
Two hours, about a dozen dishes, images cropped for your menu, delivery apps and Instagram. Yours to use forever.
DetailsA feed that runs itself
Posts, reels and Google updates on a published monthly cadence, with fresh shoots built in and replies handled.
DetailsA site with ordering you own
Fast on a phone, menu and hours one tap away, commission-free ordering that works with your POS. Your domain, your data.
Details
Start small
Sample shoot: one hour, three dishes.
Edited and delivered within a week, cropped for your menu and delivery apps. Use them whether or not we work together again. It starts from the free audit and is quoted in writing like everything else.

Ownership
You own everything we make.

What we will never do
- Lock you into a 12-month contract or an agency-owned ad account.
- Guarantee rankings or promise follower counts.
- Text your customers without documented consent, or buy contact lists.
- Install an accessibility overlay widget instead of fixing the site.
- Hide the price until the end of a sales call.
- Keep your domain, code, photos or data if you decide to leave.
