How Top Restaurants Treat Food Photos Like a Growth System

Great restaurants don’t "do a shoot once." They run a repeatable system: station, schedule, and a consistent look across every channel.
TL;DR
Set a standard (background, light, angle). Build a weekly habit (new items + top sellers). Publish everywhere with the right crops.
The system
1) Standards
Pick: One default angle (45°). One background surface. One light setup.
2) Schedule
Weekly: specials and new items. Monthly: top sellers refresh. Quarterly: core menu pass.
3) Distribution
The same photo should work across: Delivery apps. Website menu. Social posts.
That requires the right crops and sizes.
