Food Sells Better on Video
Restaurants that use video marketing see up to 30% more foot traffic. Motion graphics add sizzle — literally. Animated text, menu reveals, and promo countdowns grab attention in a way that static posts never can.
Types of Restaurant Videos You Can Make
- Grand opening announcement videos with countdown timers
- Daily or weekly special promos with animated menu items
- Delivery and takeout promotion clips
- Happy hour and event announcement videos
- Customer review highlight reels with animated quotes
- Seasonal menu launch teasers
Creating Restaurant Videos with AI
No filming needed. Describe what you want to Vela — 'Italian restaurant grand opening, warm colors, pasta images, elegant typography' — and get a polished promo video in minutes. Add your own food photos for an authentic touch.
Where to Post Your Videos
Instagram Reels and TikTok are the top platforms for restaurant marketing. Post vertical 9:16 videos. Google Business Profile now supports video too — upload there for local search visibility. Facebook and your website are also great placements.
Tips for Better Restaurant Promos
- Show the food in the first frame — do not start with your logo
- Use warm colors — reds, oranges, and golds trigger appetite
- Keep promos under 15 seconds for social media
- Always include your location, hours, or ordering link
- Create different versions for different platforms and seasons
How it works
Type what you want. Vela creates the motion graphic. Refine by chatting.
