How to plan the shot list
Choose priority items
Start with items that need more attention, explanation, or upsell support.
Write plating notes
Make each photo match the real service standard.
Shoot for mobile
Check every image at phone size before adding it to the menu.
Publish and measure
Add photos to the QR menu and watch whether item views change.
Photos should reduce ordering uncertainty
For cafes, the best menu photos help guests understand portion, ingredients, style, or value before ordering.
How this connects to your QR menu
Use the QR menu to separate breakfast, drinks, pastries, and lunch; update sold-out pastries; and highlight seasonal drinks with photos. FlipMenu lets managers add item photos and update them as the menu changes.
Use the worksheet first, then publish the guest-facing result only after the manager review is complete. That keeps the digital menu useful without turning it into an unapproved operations notebook.
