Why Great Photos Matter for Delivery Platforms
Customers eat with their eyes—especially online. Clear, vibrant, and well-lit food photography helps restaurants:
Increase order volume
Build trust and professionalism
Stand out in crowded delivery listings
A high-quality image can mean the difference between a scroll and a sale.
Understand Uber Eats Photo Guidelines
Platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash have photo standards:
Format: Square or 4:3 ratio
Background: Simple or neutral
Focus: Single dish centered with no clutter
Resolution: Minimum 1920x1080 recommended
Following these guidelines ensures your listing looks professional and gets approved without issues.
Tips to Take Better Food Photos for Delivery Menus
1. Use Natural Light
Shoot near a window or diffused daylight. Avoid harsh shadows or yellow lighting.
2. Keep the Setup Simple
Don’t over-style. Highlight the dish exactly how it’s delivered. Clean plates, minimal props.
3. Focus on Freshness & Texture
Capture steam, melting cheese, glossy sauces—details that showcase freshness and crave-worthiness.
4. Use a Consistent Angle
Top-down or 45-degree angles work best for app listings. Maintain uniformity across your menu.
5. Avoid Over-Editing
Don’t apply filters that distort the dish. Slight sharpening and colour correction are fine—but keep it real.
Consider Hiring a Professional
Hiring a food photographer ensures:
Proper lighting and camera work
Styled compositions tailored for delivery menus
Fast turnaround with platform-ready images

Final Thoughts
Quality food photography isn't just about aesthetics—it’s about sales. With delivery apps becoming a primary revenue source, investing in great visuals is a must.
