Video ads for restaurants and food delivery
We make motion graphics video ads for restaurants, cafes, food trucks, ghost kitchens and delivery-first brands: script, animation, music and on-screen text, in vertical format for Meta and TikTok. Pay online, send us your menu photos and get ads built to drive orders, reservations or walk-ins in 24 business hours. You can start with 3 ads for $97.
The problem with advertising food you can't make people crave
People eat with their eyes first. But most restaurants don't have a food photographer on call, and nobody has time to shoot video in the middle of the dinner rush. So the ad ends up being a photo of the printed menu, a flyer with the logo or a dim phone shot of a plate. In a feed full of video, that gets scrolled past in a second.
The other problem is that a restaurant never has just one thing to say. This week you want to fill Tuesday tables, next week push the lunch combo, and on the weekend announce that the patio is open again. Each message needs its own ad, and a production company for every one is slow and expensive.
Motion graphics fixes that. We take the food photos you already have, bring them to life, add the price, the offer and your address on screen, and turn it into a vertical ad built to stop the scroll.
Restaurant video ads that work
- Online orders: your best seller, the price and a clear order button. If you have your own ordering app or site, send people there and skip the commission on every order.
- Reservations: date nights, holidays and group dinners. Your photos of the room and how to book.
- Daily specials and lunch menus: an ad that's easy to refresh every week, with this week's dishes and hours.
- Limited-time deals: taco Tuesday, a family meal bundle, a seasonal dessert. A specific offer beats "come see us" every time.
- Grand openings and new locations: a countdown, an animated map with the address and what makes the place different.
- Real reviews: share the reviews you already have and we'll animate them on screen, word for word.
If you also sell packaged products online, like sauces, coffee or gift boxes, that's a different playbook: check out our page on video ads for ecommerce.
Radius targeting: only reach people who can actually show up
A restaurant doesn't sell to the whole country. On Meta you can target a radius around your address, so the ad reaches people who live or work close enough to order or stop by. For delivery, match it to your real delivery zone. TikTok targets by geographic location too; check the options available for your city in Ads Manager.
Name the neighborhood in the video. Saying "now delivering in Midtown" or the name of your part of town early on tells the right people the ad is for them.
One message per ad. Don't cram the lunch special and the anniversary dinner into the same video. One video per goal.
Refresh your creative often. In a small radius the same people see your ad over and over, and they tune out fast. Our guide to ad creative fatigue explains when to rotate.
The rules if you serve alcohol
Food ads don't face special restrictions on Meta or TikTok. But once an ad shows or promotes cocktails, beer or wine, the alcohol policies kick in.
Meta: alcohol ads have to comply with local laws and use the age and country targeting Meta requires. At a minimum they can't target anyone under 18, and where the legal drinking age is higher, like 21 in the US, that's the line to respect. Some countries don't allow alcohol ads on Meta at all.
TikTok: the rules are stricter. Ads can't show excessive drinking or anyone under 25, can't offer discounts or incentives to drink and can't promote alcohol sales or delivery, and they need a responsible drinking message. In the US and Canada, alcohol ads can only target users 25 and older, and advertisers have to confirm eligibility with TikTok first. The details vary by market, so check them in Ads Manager before you launch.
The easy fix: build the ad around the food or the reservation and save the drinks for a separate video.
Formats and what we need from you
Every video is 9:16 for Reels, Stories and TikTok. On the trial you can add 1:1 and 4:5 versions for the Instagram and Facebook feed for $19, plus 3 static images for $47 for posts or digital menu boards. You get MP4 files ready to upload.
At checkout you tell us your restaurant's name, what you want to promote, who it's for and the result you want (orders, reservations or foot traffic). Share your website or Instagram, upload your logo and drop a link in the notes to photos of your dishes and your menu, with prices if you want them on screen, plus your address or delivery area. We don't need access to your ad account; you or your agency set up the campaign. Browse our examples to see the style.
