Menu-grade food photography, from a phone snap
A line cook shoots the dish at service. Pixfino lights and grades it for menus, websites, and POS — no closed kitchen, no food photographer.
Phone snap in. Menu hero out.
Service-light to menu-light
The renderer corrects warm tungsten kitchen light back to neutral menu spec without flattening the dish.
Plating preserved
Your line cook's plating choices survive. Only lighting and color shift.
Same look across locations
Multi-location concepts get photo consistency without a corporate-imposed studio shoot.
Who this is for
Who this is for
Independent restaurants
Job
Update menu and website photos without a shoot
Friction
Food photographers cost $300-$2,000/day and require a closed kitchen.
F&B groups
Job
Standardise photo style across all locations
Friction
Each location's GM uploads phone photos at different quality.
Hotel restaurants
Job
Update seasonal menus monthly
Friction
Booking the studio photographer monthly is impractical.
Catering operators
Job
Show portfolio shots without staging the buffet again
Friction
Catering events don't have repeatable photo opportunities.
Ghost kitchens
Job
Photograph each new virtual brand on launch day
Friction
Per-virtual-brand photo shoots blow the launch budget.
How it works
How it works
-
1
Snap the dish at service
Any phone, any kitchen light. Pixfino corrects white-balance, fills shadows, and re-lights for menu spec.
Replaces: Closing the kitchen for a photographer.
-
2
Pick a style
Bright clean (delivery menu), dark moody (fine dining), or overhead flatlay (cookbook).
Replaces: Pre-pro briefing with a stylist.
-
3
Generate
One render, ~30 seconds. Plate swap is optional (replace the line-shop white plate with a brand-correct one).
Replaces: A half-day shoot.
-
4
Push to channels
Drop into Toast/Square POS, your website, delivery aggregators, and Instagram. Same dish, same lighting, every channel.
Replaces: Per-channel manual reformat.
