A dish or ingredient explained for people trying your food for the first time.

Where your ingredients come from, the story of a family recipe and the people who cook.

Stay compliant

What to check before you post

  • AI scenes show food in general, not your dishes. Don't present them as your menu, and post photos of your real plates alongside them.
  • Be careful with diet and allergy claims. Only call a dish gluten-free, vegan or nut-free if you can guarantee it.
  • Check your state's rules before promoting drink specials. Some states restrict happy hour advertising.
  • Don't offer a free dessert or a discount for positive reviews. The FTC's rule on fake reviews bans incentives tied to what a review says. [3]
  • New automations wait for your approval, so you can check every video before it posts.

Good to know

Questions restaurant owners ask

What should a restaurant post on social media?

Your food first: dish spotlights, specials and new items, plus the stories behind them. Post before people make plans, like Thursday for the weekend.

Do the videos show my actual food?

No. Scenes are AI video or stock footage of similar food, voiced and captioned for you. They work best for specials, stories and explainers, so keep posting photos of your own plates alongside them.

Can I post in English and Spanish?

Yes. Every video can be in English or Spanish, and you can run one automation per language to reach bilingual clients.
