Video pricing for restaurants, bars and cafes.
Food is the easiest thing in the world to film badly. This is what it costs to film it so people drive across town for it, and to keep it going every month. Every price is the real number.
The 3-Video Shoot
One hour in your kitchen and dining room. Three finished videos in your inbox within 7 days.
- Strategy call first: which three dishes, moments or people will get someone in the door
- One hour with Nathan, during prep or service, cinema camera, real lighting on the food
- Three edits: a signature dish, the room at its best, the person behind the counter
- Yours to keep, ready to post, captioned, sized for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
Why $999 is the fair number +
Other studios charge $1,500 to $4,000 for this: a shoot day and one to three finished videos. The price isn't padding. It's a $50,000 camera, audio and lighting kit. It's ten years and 1,000+ videos for local businesses, including a thrift store that doubled its daily profit after a year of five videos a month. It's an hour of directing that looks easy and isn't, and then a full day in the edit. It's $999 here because I'd rather you see the work than read about it.

Add to any retainer
Bigger projects get a quote.
Multi-location groups, catering brands and commercial spots get a written quote. These are the starting points.
Tell me what you have in mind.
A sentence or two is plenty. I'll call you back, ask a few questions, and send a written quote, usually within a day.
Have Nathan call meRather talk now? Call or text (321) 578-8477.
Do you film during service?+
Usually the last hour of prep and the first hour of service, so the food is fresh and the room is alive without me being in the way of a full house. For events, I stay the whole night.
Can the photos go on Google and the delivery apps?+
Yes, and they should. Every Menu Shoot and every retainer month delivers photos sized for your Google Business Profile, DoorDash, Uber Eats and your own site. The listing photo is the first thing a hungry person sees.
How long am I committing to?+
Retainers run 12 months, billed monthly by auto-pay. Either of us can end it on 30 days' notice, and if you leave before the sixth payment there is a one month fee. The term exists because consistency is the whole point: one good month is a nice month, and a year of them is a business people already know before they call.
Got it. Talk soon.
I'll call you back to go over it. Heads up: the call will come from a 321 number. If you miss me, I'll text you. If you'd rather not wait, call or text (321) 578-8477.
