Restaurant photography drives orders. Studies show menu items with photos sell 30% more than those without. A well-composed food grid amplifies this effect by letting customers visually browse your menu before reading a single description.\n\nRestaurant-optimized grid formats: (1) The 'top 6' grid — 2×3 showing your best-selling dishes with consistent plating and lighting, (2) The category grid — 1×4 horizontal strip for 'starters', 'mains', 'desserts', 'drinks' each as visual sections, (3) The combo meal — 2×2 showing burger + fries + drink + dessert as a value deal, (4) The chef's special — 1×3 vertical showing the dish from three angles (top-down, 45°, side) for premium presentation.\n\nFood photography tips for grids: use natural daylight or warm 3500K artificial light, shoot at 45° angle (most flattering for plated food), keep backgrounds neutral (dark slate or warm wood), ensure consistent white balance across all dishes, and style simply — the food should be the hero. For delivery apps (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo), export square at 1200×1200px as these platforms display images at 1:1. For print menus, export at 300 DPI matching your menu dimensions. MergeFrame's local processing keeps your signature dishes and plating techniques private.
