The challenge

Restaurants were spending $200–$800 per photoshoot for menu items and delivery-app hero images. Turnaround was 1–2 weeks and quality was inconsistent across cities.

The approach
  1. 01

    Built a vision pipeline that takes a raw phone snap of a dish and produces four polished hero variants at delivery-app spec.

  2. 02

    Included restaurant-specific style tuning: cuisine, plating, lighting, brand palette.

  3. 03

    Wired the output to a Stripe-metered SaaS with per-asset billing and a monthly subscription tier.

  4. 04

    Shipped a tenant dashboard for asset library, version control, and re-generation on demand.

The outcome

400+ restaurant tenants onboarded in the first six months. Average tenant generates ~30 assets/month at $0.42 per asset landed cost. Delivery-app click-through rates improved 18% on updated hero images.

“We stopped hiring photographers. Assets in six minutes at less than a dollar. Nothing else even competes.”
