Can the video show our coffee menu?

Yes, when the menu appears as HTML or clear images on the cafe website. The browser can capture drink names, food items and visible prices from those formats. A menu available only as a PDF cannot be captured reliably, so add an on-page menu or image version first.

Can the ad focus on people working from the cafe?

Yes. Later videos can follow a prompt about weekday workspace, but the website should provide useful source material. Include photographs of tables, seating, daylight and the room itself, plus accurate details about Wi-Fi, plugs or laptop rules if you want those points shown.

Will the video include our opening hours and location?

It can use opening hours and location details that are clearly visible on the restaurant site. Keep them in readable page text and make sure they are current. The ad can place these details near the end, after coffee, food or workspace visuals have established a reason to visit.

What video formats work for a cafe ad?

Vertical video is 1080x1920 and suits phone-first placements where close coffee pours and pastry shots fill the screen. Horizontal video is 1920x1080 and gives more room to show seating or the counter. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264.

Turn your cafe website into a coffee ad

Sizzledraft turns a cafe website into a short video ad built from its coffee photography, menu, opening hours, location and brand styling. The first video uses the site alone, while later videos can follow a prompt about workspace, coffee quality or a morning ritual.

How can I make a video ad from my cafe website?

Enter the URL of your cafe's restaurant site. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the page and captures real material such as espresso photos, pastry shots, menu items, opening hours and the address. It also uses visible brand tokens from the site to author a scene that feels consistent with the cafe rather than placing the content in an unrelated template. The first video is cut from the website alone, so the page should make your strongest selling point clear. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on pour-over coffee, quiet weekday workspace or the breakfast rush. The finished ad can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264.

What should a cafe website show for a better video ad?

Lead with sharp photographs of the coffee, counter, seating and food people can actually order. Put opening hours, address and key menu items in normal page content so the browser can capture them cleanly. If workspace matters, show the tables, daylight and room between seats instead of relying only on a sentence about being laptop-friendly. A short sequence can then move from the first coffee pour to a pastry, a usable table and the practical details needed for a visit. Avoid placing the entire menu in a PDF because it cannot be captured reliably. Use HTML menu sections or clear images on the page. This gives the video specific prices, drink names and breakfast choices to work with without inventing details.

Can a cafe video ad use a trending sound correctly?

Yes, but the sound should be attached inside the social platform when the ad is posted. Sizzledraft can hand over a link to the relevant trending sound rather than baking that track into the exported file. This matters because baked-in audio does not count as using the platform's sound. The rendered video can still include synthesised audio scored to the sequence, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. For a cafe, the timing might follow an espresso pour, milk texture, a pastry landing on the table and the reveal of opening hours or location. If you plan to attach a trending sound natively, review the final post after adding it so the beat and on-screen coffee details still align.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser can capture food and coffee photography, HTML menu items, opening hours, location details and the cafe's visible colours and type styles. It cannot reliably capture a menu supplied only as a PDF, so provide the menu as HTML or page images if it needs to appear in the video.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with the cafe logo while the coffee, workspace and morning atmosphere remain unseen. Start with a close coffee or breakfast moment, build the setting, then show the cafe name, hours and location once viewers have a reason to visit.

Coffee photos often sit across gallery, menu and home pages, making it slow to find a sequence that shows drink quality clearly.
Workspace details such as tables, plugs, Wi-Fi and natural light may be buried in copy instead of presented as a convincing visual story.
Opening hours and location must remain readable on a phone without distracting from the espresso, pastry or morning routine that earns attention.
