Packages · How a Melbourne hospitality shoot runs

Three ways
to work with us.

Every venue's brief is different — but the way we run a shoot day isn't. Three core package shapes, transparent process, hand-confirmed quotes. Pricing scopes by menu size and the channels you're shooting for, not by per-hour billing.

How we price · Honest hospitality

We quote the shoot,
not the hour.

Pricing scopes by menu size, channel and complexity — not by stopwatch. You always get a written quote before the shoot. No hidden retouching fees, no per-channel licence top-ups, no surprise invoices.

Three package shapes · Pick the closest fit

Refresh.
Menu. Brand.

Most venues fit one of these three shapes. We confirm the final price on the call — based on your exact menu size, suburb and channel mix.

What every package includes

No extras.
No surprises.

Every shoot — Refresh, Menu or Brand — includes the same eight things below as standard. No per-channel licence fees, no retouching surprises, no agency markups.

Pre-shoot consult

A 15-minute call to lock the brief — menu list, channels, deadlines, suburb.

On-location production

We come to you. Full lighting, surface and props kit. No studio drop-offs.

Real plating

Your kitchen plates the food. We light it and frame it. No plastic, no styling tricks.

Multi-channel crops

Square + landscape per dish, sized for Uber Eats, Google, web and Instagram.

Edited delivery

Master files plus channel-ready crops in a single shareable folder, named to your menu.

Full usage licence

Paid social, OOH, print, EDM, packaging, PR — every owned and earned channel.

One free re-edit

Per dish, no questions. If a particular frame doesn't sit right, we re-edit it.

Hand-confirmed quote

Real conversations, no auto-replies. Quotes confirmed inside one business day.

How a shoot runs · From call to delivery

Four steps,
zero guesswork.

We handle the production logistics. You handle the plating. Most venues book and shoot within 7–14 days of the first call.

01

Quick call

A 5–15 minute call to scope menu, channels, suburb and deadline. Most quotes are confirmed on this call.

02

Written quote & date

We send a written quote the same day with a locked shoot date. You confirm by reply.

03

Shoot day

We arrive with full lighting and prop kit. Your kitchen plates the food. Usually 4–8 hours on-location.

04

Edit & deliver

Edited master files + channel-ready crops delivered in 5–7 business days. One folder, named to your menu.

On the $10-per-image claim · Honest fine print

$10 per image is real —
but it isn't every shoot.

Our volume tier kicks in at 100+ images from a single venue, minimum spend $1,000. That's where the $10 per-image rate applies — typically full restaurant menu shoots with delivery, dine-in and Google all in one library.

For smaller menus (15–25 images) the rate sits at $30 per image, and the 21–99 range sits at $25 per image. The reason: production time per image goes down as menu size goes up. We pass that saving on directly.

No fine print at the door. The number you're quoted is the number you're invoiced.
