Photos in One Day

Illustrative scenario. This case study models a realistic workflow and representative outcomes for this type of business. The figures are example numbers used to show how the workflow plays out — not audited results from a specific named customer.

The challenge

Ghost Kitchen Co. operates 5 virtual restaurant brands from a single commercial kitchen. Launching new brands required extensive menu photography - with 100+ items per brand, traditional photography would take months and cost over $15,000.

✗5 virtual brands each needing 100+ unique menu photos
✗Traditional photography quotes: $15,000+ and 2+ months timeline
✗Each brand required a completely different visual style
✗New brands needed to launch quickly to capture market demand

The solution

Ghost Kitchen Co. used FoodPhoto.ai's Enterprise plan with Brand Packs to create distinct visual identities for each brand. Using batch processing, they generated all 500+ photos in a single day.

✓Created 5 separate Brand Packs for distinct visual styles
✓Batch processed photos during a single day of cooking
✓Auto-generated delivery platform crops for Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub
✓Maintained consistent branding within each virtual brand
