    Restaurant videography — videos that make guests hungry

    People order with their eyes. A good food video doesn't just show your dish — it carries the sizzle of the pan, the steam, the craft behind it. I produce video and photo content for restaurants, cafés and food brands: from Pommesfreunde in Munich to the coffee shop around the corner.

    Content that fills tables

    Food is my specialty. For hospitality businesses I produce brand videos introducing your venue and kitchen, short reels for Instagram and TikTok, campaign videos for promotions and new menus, and food photography for your menu, delivery platforms and Google profile.

    The difference from quick phone videos is in the details: proper light that reveals textures instead of flattening them, slow motion at the right moment, an edit that builds appetite instead of just stringing images together. And an understanding of how hospitality works — I shoot so your operation keeps running and no guest is disturbed.

    My first major client in Germany was Pommesfreunde in Munich — a franchise brand I produced campaign and product videos for. That experience feeds into every project, from single restaurants to chains.

    From first call to finished video

    The process is deliberately simple: in the first call we clarify what you want to show and which channels the content should run on. Then I plan the shot list and shoot day — matched to your kitchen, your rush hours and your dishes. Shooting usually takes one day, often in the morning before lunch service.

    Post-production covers edit, colour grade and sound design. You receive your content in every format: widescreen for website and Google, vertical for Reels and TikTok, square for the feed. One shoot day typically yields a main video plus several short clips — material for weeks.

    For hospitality in Schwerin, Hamburg and nationwide

    I'm based in Schwerin and regularly work in Hamburg, Rostock and Wismar — but for food projects I travel across Germany, as the collaboration with Pommesfreunde in Munich shows. Especially for franchises and chains with several locations, a fixed video partner pays off — keeping look and quality consistent across every branch.

    Common questions about food videography

    How much does a restaurant video cost?

    A compact shoot day with one main video and several reels starts, as orientation, in the four-figure range — the exact price depends on shoot scope, number of clips and usage rights. For regular content I offer packages that come in considerably cheaper per video than one-off productions. You always receive a fixed-price quote up front.

    Will the shoot disturb restaurant operations?

    No — I actively plan around that. Shooting usually happens before opening or during quiet hours; food shots are captured right at the pass or in the kitchen. If guests should appear in the footage, we sort that out cleanly beforehand, consent included.

    How many videos come out of one shoot day?

    Typically one main video of 30 to 90 seconds plus three to eight short clips for social media — depending on how many dishes and scenes we plan. With good preparation, one day yields material for several weeks of content.

    Do you also shoot photos for menus and delivery platforms?

    Yes. Food photography combines ideally with the video shoot: lighting and setup are already in place, so photos for your menu, Google Business Profile and delivery platforms are captured the same day — noticeably cheaper than two separate bookings.

    Do you work with franchises and chains?

    Yes, that's one of my focus areas. I produced campaign videos for Pommesfreunde (Munich) and know what matters for brands with multiple locations: a consistent look, reliable processes and formats that work both centrally and locally.
