How do you make AI video for a restaurant menu?

Use image-to-video on real photos of your actual dishes — never text-to-video, which hallucinates food and packaging. Short looping 5–6 second clips (slow steam rise, pour, cheese pull) sell dishes on delivery apps and Instagram. Vertical 9:16 for Reels and stories, square 1:1 for delivery-app menu cards.

Image-to-video on real dish photos only.

Steam, pour, cheese pull, sauce drizzle.

Why text-to-video is wrong for food

Text-to-video invents food that does not match your actual dish — wrong colour, wrong garnish, wrong portion. Customers receive something different and complain. Image-to-video preserves the real plate; the model only animates motion.

Shot types that drive orders

Steam rising from a hot bowl. Cheese pull from pizza. Sauce drizzle. Slow lift of a fork. Pour shots for cocktails. All work with a single photo of the real dish as image-to-video input. Total time per menu item: 5–10 minutes.

FAQ

Will customers feel deceived if the video is AI?

Not if the underlying dish is real and accurately photographed. Animating real food = enhancement, not deception.
