The AdRescue Guide to Better Video Ads — how to properly shoot video on your phone.

Restaurants & cafés

Vertical video ads for restaurants and cafés

Food already looks good on a phone. What it usually lacks is pacing, sound and a reason to visit. AdRescue turns your service-day clips into a vertical ad with a clear offer at the end.

What you send

  • Dishes being plated or poured, close and slow
  • The pass, the grill, the espresso machine
  • The room and the front of house at its busiest
  • A quick line to camera about the special or the offer

What the editor does

  • Cut to the most appetising two seconds first
  • Sound treated so sizzle and pour carry instead of kitchen noise
  • Menu item names, prices and opening hours as on-screen text
  • A closing card with your location and how to book

Common problems

What usually goes wrong with the raw clips

Every order is checked by a quality reviewer before it reaches you, so these get caught.

Yellow kitchen light

Heat lamps and tungsten make food look grey-green on a phone. Colour correction is the single biggest change to how appetising the clip looks.

The clips are all the same shot

Editors vary pace and framing where they can, and will tell you in the review notes which extra shot would lift the next one.

No call to action

Every ad ends with what you actually want — a booking, a walk-in, or the special while it's on.
