A restaurant-first Instagram playbook: shot types to post each week, how to batch content fast, and how to keep your feed consistent.

TL;DR

Post menu photos that are clear and consistent. Mix in a few “story” posts (behind-the-scenes, people, process). Batch once a week so you don’t fall behind.

The 4 post types that work

Top sellers (menu photos). Specials/new items (urgency). Behind-the-scenes (trust). Customer proof (UGC, reviews).

Use Starter to fix your first 10 menu photos for $3.

It is the clearest commercial next step: use your phone photos now, get delivery-ready outputs fast, and keep pricing simple before you scale.

Start with Starter, not a maze of offers.

Fix your first 10 menu photos for $3, keep your workflow simple, and only graduate to higher monthly volume when the business case is obvious.
