Menu Photo Checklist

A pre-publish checklist for menu photos that need to look consistent, truthful, and ready for web and delivery.

Answer first

A menu photo checklist is the final quality pass before publishing: it checks crop, color, portion truth, file naming, alt text, and whether every important dish has a usable image.

Checklist

  • Dish fills the frame without cropping off the main ingredient
  • Color matches the real food and does not make sauces neon
  • Background is consistent across the section
  • Filename names the dish in plain language
  • Alt text describes the dish, not the editing tool

Local and delivery context

US operators often publish the same dish across the website, Google Business Profile, DoorDash, and Uber Eats, so the checklist should catch crops that work on one channel but fail on another.

What should be checked before uploading menu photos?

Check crop, sharpness, truthful color, visible portion size, clean background, file name, alt text, and whether the image still reads well at thumbnail size.
