How to Prepare Photos for Your Branch?
A great photo is the first thing that gets customers to click. This article covers what photos to prepare, technical requirements, and common issues to avoid.。
What Photos Do You Need to Prepare?
FunNow branches: Each package should have its own set of photos.
- Eatigo branches: One set of photos per branch is sufficient.
- Each branch/package requires a minimum of 5 photos, covering the following:
- Branch cover & detail page main photo: The primary visual for your branch/package. We recommend using the same photo for both. Choose an image that best represents your branch/package.
- Favorite dishes(3+ photos): Show the signature dishes to give customers a clear idea of what to expect.
- Dining environment(1+ photo): Showcase your interior design and unique atmosphere to help customers determine if the venue suits their needs.

2. Branch Cover
The branch cover appears across multiple pages — including search results and category listings — and may be cropped differently depending on the device. We recommend using a photo of your storefront or an environment shot that reflects your brand's character. If no suitable storefront photo is available, an interior shot works as well.
💡Shooting tip: Make sure the storefront or signage is clearly visible. Keep the main subject centered with space on all sides to accommodate cropping across different layouts.

3. Tips for Great Photos
Food
A. Keep the main subject centered with space on all sides to avoid being obscured by interface labels or buttons.
B. Choose your shooting style based on the type of dish:
a. Full spread (recommended for set meals, Buffets, sharing platters, izakayas, etc.)
- Camera Angle: Use a top-down or high angle to provide a clear, comprehensive view of the full spread.
- Core Composition: Position the main dish at the center, with sides and accompaniments around it.
- Visual Balance: Keep the composition clean — too many elements can make the shot feel cluttered
Enhance the Ambiance: Photos that capture "action" or "moments"—such as ingredients being dipped into the pot or meat sizzling—create a more immersive experience.
b. Single hero shot (recommended for signature dishes, fine dining, limited-time specials, etc.)
- Focus on the Subject: Let the dish fill the frame with a clean, undistracting background
- Lighting & Angles: Use angle and lighting to highlight texture and presentation (overhead or 45-degree angle works well)
- Atmosphere Props: Tableware or subtle props can add atmosphere, as long as they don't compete with the main subject
- Thumbnail Clarity: The dish should remain instantly identifiable even as a small thumbnail.
Beverages
Camera Angle: Use an eye-level or slightly high angle to fully capture the shape of the glass and its contents.
Visual Highlights: Focus on showcasing layers, gradients, or visual details (e.g., crystal-clear ice cubes, garnishes).
What to Avoid: Avoid direct top-down shots, as they tend to lose the shape of the glass.
Dining Environment
Camera Angle: Shoot at an eye-level or slightly high angle, and make sure
Space Preparation: Keep the area bright and tidy. Clear all clutter from tables and aisles.
Capture the Atmosphere: Focus on what makes your space distinctive.
For some branches, the atmosphere itself is the main draw. If your branch's appeal is primarily the space and experience — such as a restaurant with a view, a fine dining steakhouse, a Buffet, a bar, or a private dining room ideal for group gatherings — consider using an environment shot as your cover or main photo.
