How AI food photography works
Snap a phone photo
Any ordinary photo of the real dish — daylight on a table is enough.
Pick a style
The AI studio restyles the photo: professional light, clean background, appetizing detail — the dish stays yours.
Publish to your menu
The shot lands straight on your QR menu. Guests see every dish and order more.
Food photography questions, answered
How much does food photography cost for a restaurant?
A professional food photographer typically charges $200–500 per shoot plus editing, and covers one session. With Loyaltyfy, AI menu photos are included in the menu plan — every dish, all year.
Do I need a professional photographer for my menu?
Not anymore. AI food photography turns an ordinary phone photo of your real dish into a professional menu shot with studio lighting and styling.
Will the AI photo still look like my actual dish?
Yes — the AI restyles your own photo (lighting, background, presentation). It doesn't invent a different dish.
What if I don't want to do it myself?
Send us your dish photos and logo — we build and design the whole menu for you. The service is free with a yearly Premium plan.
