Menu video

You do not need footage to post a video. Menu video builds one out of what is already on your menu: your dishes, their photos, their prices.

The rule

It costs nothing. It runs on your own computer and uses no credits, so you can make one every day.

How it works

  1. In Growth → Composer, press Menu video.
  2. It picks your most recently added dishes that have a photo. Choose 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8.
  3. Change the Opening title (try “This week’s menu” or “5 new dishes”) and the Closing line.
  4. Pick a Shape — Reel for Instagram, Square for the feed, Wide for your website.
  5. Press Render video. A few seconds later it is in your Library and attached to your post.

The preview on the left is the finished video, not a rough idea of it.

Good to know

  • Only dishes with a photo can appear. If you ask for 5 and only 3 have photos, you get 3 — add photos to more dishes and the video grows.
  • Dishes with no price simply show their name. Nothing looks broken.
  • Prices come straight from your menu, in your own currency. Change a price and the next video is right.
  • The video gets longer with more dishes — roughly two and a half seconds each, plus a title and a closing card.
  • The video uses your own brand colour and logo from your site settings. A very dark brand colour is lightened just enough to stay readable on the video’s dark background, and the video tells you when that happens.
  • Keep the tab open while it renders. Your computer is doing the work.
