Today's special
Posted before lunch, with the dish and the price.
Restaurants and cafes
Menu, special and event videos that fill tables, made from your phone photos
A restaurant or cafe lives on regulars and walk-ins who saw something that made them hungry. Social video does that, but the owner is busy at the pass, not at an edit desk. Chitrio takes your dish photos or a short description and returns a vertical video with a voiceover, captions, your logo and a call to action such as reserve a table or order for pickup. Post three times a week without a marketing hire.

Straight answer: Show food honestly. Use your real photos, keep the price and allergen information accurate, and do not promise a health claim. If you list allergens in a video, check them with your kitchen first.
How it works
- 1
Choose the post
A new dish, a daily special, a weekend event or a thank-you to staff. Pick one idea per video.
- 2
Add photos and a line
Upload two to five photos and write the dish name, one sentence about it and the price. The script stays short and punchy.
- 3
Render for Instagram and Facebook
Export vertical, add the booking or ordering link in the caption and schedule the post at a time when people are choosing dinner.
- 4
Match the post to the slot
Post lunch specials at 10am, dinner at 3pm and weekend events on Thursday, because that is when people plan.
- 5
Keep a library of dish clips
Keep rendered dish videos so a quiet week can reuse the best ones with a fresh caption.

Questions, answered
Do I need professional food photos?
Good natural light and a clean plate go a long way. Chitrio adds motion and narration to the photos you have.
Can I add my menu prices?
Yes. Write them in the script and on the closing card. Keep them in sync with the menu.
Will it work for takeaway only?
Yes. Change the call to action to ordering and pickup details.
How fast can I post?
Many owners batch a week of posts in one session and schedule them.
Can I make it multilingual for tourists?
Yes. The same video can be narrated in other supported languages.
