Restaurant menu photography for every dish on every delivery app
I am an Atlanta menu photographer. I come to your restaurant, photograph the food you already serve, and hand back a set sized for every delivery app you sell on, uploaded for you. You plate the dishes. That is the whole job on your side.
Photographers who publish menu-shoot rates charge roughly $25 to $40 a dish. The Full Menu works out to $26 to $33 a dish, and it includes every platform size and the upload.

Both columns read from the restaurant's public DoorDash listings on October 13, 2026. The styling and props in the new photos are ours. The food is theirs.
Counts read from the restaurant's public DoorDash menu on both dates. The menu was reorganized in between, which is why the totals differ by one. Shared with the owner's permission.

My agency, SocialLee Agency, took on the whole menu: one consistent set covering every dish, sized for DoorDash and uploaded for them. DoorDash approved the new set on September 3.
How it works
- 1
I pull your menu
Free, and before you commit to anything. I read your delivery listing and count how many items show up with no picture. Most owners are surprised by the number.
- 2
I photograph your dishes
On site, about two hours for a Menu Starter and half a day for a Full Menu. You plate the food the way you normally would. Nothing gets styled into something you do not sell.
- 3
Every platform gets its own file
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Google and Instagram each want a different shape. You get all of them, sized correctly, and I upload them for you.
Done for you
Rather not pick up a camera at all?
Founding client pricing for the first 10 menus, or until December 31, 2026, whichever comes first. Your founding price is locked in once you book. After that, the regular prices shown apply.

Questions I get asked
- Will my photos be approved?
- I prepare them to each platform's current published requirements. The final review is the platform's, not mine, and nobody can promise you an approval. In practice the rejections I see are dark, blurry or artificial looking images, and none of those apply to your actual dish shot properly.
- Is this AI generated food?
- No. I photograph the dish you actually serve. Software fixes lighting, background and sizing around it. If the food itself changes, the result gets thrown out. That rule is the reason this business exists.
- DoorDash will do it for free. Why would I pay?
- Take the free shoot. It covers up to 20 items in one session and you only pay for the food. Then read where DoorDash allows those photos to go: its merchant blog says not on any other third-party delivery platform. If you sell on more than one app, the free shoot solves one of them.
- How much does restaurant menu photography cost per dish?
- Photographers usually quote by the hour or the half day, which hides the price per dish. Menu Refresh states it up front: the Full Menu is $1,299 for 40 to 50 dishes, roughly $26 to $33 a dish, and the Menu Starter is $599 for 15 to 20 dishes. Every package includes platform sizing and the upload.
- Can I get every photo on my menu replaced at once?
- Yes. The Full Menu covers 40 to 50 dishes in one visit, and the Menu Gap Fix covers up to 15 missing items remotely from phone photos. Either way I size the files for each app and upload them to your listings, so you are not adding photos one item at a time. Each platform still reviews every new photo itself, so approval is theirs to give.
- What if I would rather shoot my own?
- You should, and that is the other half of this business. The self serve plans start at $13 and you keep full control of every photo. This page is for when you would rather hand the whole thing over.
- How long does it take?
- A Menu Starter shoot is about two hours on site, a Full Menu about half a day. Files come back the same week, sized for each platform and uploaded to your listings for you.
- Do you work outside Atlanta?
- I am based in Atlanta and work across the metro. The Menu Gap Fix is fully remote, so if you are further out you can send phone photos of the missing items and skip the visit entirely.
