Fill tables with your booking page

Sizzledraft turns a restaurant booking page into a short video ad built from its food photography, atmosphere, menu details, reviews and booking information. It captures real page screenshots, matches the restaurant's brand tokens and ends with a clear prompt to reserve a table.

Opening lines that work here

  • Dinner plans? Your table is waiting.

    It connects the opening seconds to the diner's immediate decision and leads naturally into booking.

  • See what is on the menu tonight.

    It creates timely interest in the restaurant's dishes while setting up food photography, prices and availability.

  • Book the table. Come for this.

    It pairs a direct reservation instruction with close-up food or atmosphere footage from the booking page.

How do I turn my restaurant booking page into a video ad?

Enter the URL of the page diners use to reserve a table. Sizzledraft drives a browser through that page, captures real screenshots and identifies useful details such as signature dishes, lunch or dinner service, visible prices, guest reviews and the booking call to action. It then builds a short scene using the restaurant's own colours, type and imagery, renders every frame and adds synthesised audio. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the page needs to make the food, atmosphere and reservation route clear. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on Sunday lunch, a tasting menu or late-evening tables. The result can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080.

What should a restaurant booking video show first?

Lead with the strongest reason to choose the restaurant, not a slow logo reveal. For a tasting-menu restaurant, that might be a close-up of the most distinctive course followed by the menu price. For a neighbourhood dining room, it could be a busy evening table, warm lighting and a clear line about dinner availability. The video should then show enough practical detail to help someone act: service times, price cues, review language and where to book. Keep the reservation prompt visible and specific, such as “Book Friday dinner,” rather than ending with only the restaurant name. Food photography earns attention, atmosphere helps diners picture the occasion and booking information converts that interest into a table request.

Can a video show live table availability from my booking widget?

It depends on how the booking page exposes availability. If dates, times or availability messages appear as normal page content, the browser can usually capture them alongside food images, prices and service details. Many restaurants, however, load their reservation system inside a third-party iframe. That embedded frame may display correctly to a diner while preventing our browser from reading its text or controls. In that case, the video should avoid claiming that a particular table or time is available. Use a truthful prompt such as “Check dinner availability” and direct viewers to the booking page. If availability is the main selling point, add the relevant message as a prompt for a later video and confirm it is still accurate before publishing.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser captures the restaurant page's real food photography, service list, visible prices, availability text, reviews and booking prompts. It can also use the site's colours and typography to author the scene. If availability or booking controls live inside a third-party iframe, the browser may see the widget visually but cannot reliably read its contents.

The common mistake

A common mistake is spending the opening on a logo while the dishes, dining room and reservation details arrive too late. Open with the strongest food or atmosphere image, add a concrete service or price cue, then finish with a clear instruction to check availability or book a table.

  • Food photography, dining-room atmosphere and the booking prompt often compete for attention in one short restaurant video.
  • Live table availability may sit inside an embedded booking widget that cannot be captured or read reliably.
  • Menu prices and service details change, so manually edited videos can quickly show outdated information.

Questions

Will the video use the food photos from my booking page?
Yes. The browser captures food photography that is visible on the page and can place those real images into the scene. Strong, well-lit dish photos give the video better opening material. If the booking page contains only a logo and reservation widget, link to a page that also shows the menu, dining room or signature dishes.
Can it include menu prices and service options?
It can include visible prices and services such as lunch, dinner, tasting menus, private dining or weekend brunch when the page presents them as readable content. Check the finished copy before publishing, especially after a menu change. Prices hidden inside images, PDFs or embedded widgets may not be captured as reliably as ordinary page text.
What video format will I receive for restaurant ads?
Videos can be rendered vertically at 1080x1920 for phone-first placements or horizontally at 1920x1080. They run at 30fps, use H.264 and have audio normalised to -14 LUFS. Choose the orientation based on where diners will see the ad and keep key dishes, prices and the booking prompt within the central viewing area.
Can I use a trending sound with the restaurant video?
Yes, but the trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting. It is not baked into the exported file because baked-in audio does not count as using that platform sound. The rendered video's own audio is scored separately and normalised to -14 LUFS.
