Which parts of my restaurant website can appear in the video?

The video can use real food photographs, dining-room images, HTML menu content, opening hours, location details and visible booking information from the site. The strongest result comes from pages that clearly separate dishes, atmosphere and practical details, with large images and current text.

Can I promote a particular dish or dining service?

The first video is assembled from the restaurant site alone. For later videos, provide a prompt asking for a focus such as a signature dish, lunch menu, private dining room or weekend brunch. The relevant photography and details still need to be present on the website.

What video formats do restaurant ads use?

Vertical videos are 1080x1920 and horizontal videos are 1920x1080. Both render at 30fps in H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS. Choose vertical for phone-first placements and horizontal when the dining room or table setting benefits from a wider frame.

How are trending sounds handled in a restaurant ad?

A trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting. It is not baked into the video file, because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound on the platform. This also leaves control of the final sound choice with you.

Put your dishes and dining room on screen

Sizzledraft turns a restaurant website into a short video ad using real food photography, menu details, opening hours, location and booking information from the site. It builds the first video from the website alone, while later videos can follow a prompt for a particular dish, service or occasion.

How do I turn my restaurant website into a video ad?

Enter the restaurant URL and Sizzledraft drives a browser through the site to collect usable food photography, menu details, opening hours, location information and booking cues. It uses the site's own colours, type and other brand tokens to author a scene that looks connected to the restaurant rather than a generic dining template. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the website needs to make the main dishes, dining room and reservation route easy to find. Later videos can take a prompt, such as focusing on a Sunday lunch, tasting menu or terrace booking. Each video is rendered frame by frame at 30fps and delivered as H.264.

What should a restaurant video ad show to get bookings?

Lead with the clearest food photograph or the most distinctive view of the dining room, then give viewers the practical details needed to act. Show the restaurant name, neighbourhood or location, relevant service hours and a direct booking cue. If the ad promotes brunch, dinner or a seasonal menu, use photographs and menu copy that match that service rather than mixing unrelated dishes. Keep reservation information legible long enough to read, especially in a 1080x1920 vertical video viewed on a phone. A horizontal 1920x1080 version can suit wider placements. The aim is to connect appetite and atmosphere with a specific next step: choose a time and book a table.

Can you make a restaurant ad if the menu is a PDF?

A PDF-only menu is a problem because the browser cannot reliably capture its dishes, descriptions and prices as page content. Add the menu to the restaurant site as HTML or publish clear menu images on a normal web page before generating the video. HTML is the better option when dishes or prices change often because individual items remain readable and easier to select. Menu images can work when they are sharp, current and sized for the page. Keep essential booking details, opening hours and location outside the PDF as well. That lets the video use practical information even when the full menu document is not available for capture.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture food photography, HTML menu pages, opening hours, location details and booking links that appear on the restaurant site. It cannot reliably capture menu content locked inside a PDF, so the menu should also be available as HTML or images. Clear, high-resolution photographs give the scene stronger material for showing dishes and atmosphere.

The common mistake

A common mistake is showing a rapid montage of dishes without the restaurant's location, service hours or booking route. Fix it by pairing the strongest food and atmosphere images with one clear occasion, readable practical details and a direct prompt to reserve a table.

Food photographs, menu highlights and booking details sit on separate pages, making it hard to shape them into one clear video.
A restaurant video can show attractive dishes but still fail to tell viewers where the restaurant is, when it opens or how to book.
Menu changes, seasonal dishes and new opening hours can leave manually edited ads showing outdated information.
