For restaurants, cafés and pizzerias
Restaurant video ads you can post between two services
adkix turns your restaurant's website or Instagram account into a short vertical video ad: a script that tells a story, a natural voice-over, original music, captions and shots generated in your brand's colours. It doesn't film your food. It is built for announcing a new menu, an opening, a lunch deal or an event, every week, without a shoot.
Why restaurants rarely post the video they planned
In most restaurants, social media belongs to whoever has a spare minute: the owner after lunch, a server with a good phone, a manager on a day off. The best footage happens at eight on a Friday night, which is exactly when nobody can stop to film.
So the autumn menu launches with a single photo. The Sunday brunch has been running for months and only regulars know about it. The wine night fills up by word of mouth, or it doesn't. What's missing is rarely ideas. It's a quiet hour and someone who knows how to edit.
A restaurant promo video doesn't have to show everything. It has one job: give people a reason to come this week.
What a restaurant promo video from adkix shows, and what it can't
Here is the part most tools gloss over. adkix does not film your dining room or your plates. It reads your site or your Instagram, works out what you offer, picks up your colours and logo, and generates shots in the style you chose. The burger on screen is imagined for your brand. It is not the one leaving your kitchen tonight.
That works for messages where the story and the mood matter more than the exact plate: why you opened, what changed on the menu, a new lunch formula, the terrace reopening, a themed night. People need to know something exists before they care what it looks like.
When guests want to see exactly what they'll eat, film it on your phone. Ten seconds at the pass beat any generated image for that. Use both: the adkix video carries the weekly message, your phone brings the proof from the kitchen.
Video marketing for restaurants in four steps
Give your website or Instagram
Paste your address or your handle. adkix reads what you offer, your promise, your colours and your logo.
Pick the angle
The AI suggests a few ideas, such as the new menu, the quick lunch or the story of the place. Keep the one that fits this week, or ask for others.
Approve the style and the script
Nothing is produced until you've read the script and chosen the art direction. A misspelled dish name gets fixed here.
Download and post
About 30 minutes later you get a vertical MP4 with voice-over, music and captions. Don't like one scene? Redo just that one.
Which tool for which restaurant message
| What you want to say | adkix video | Your phone |
|---|---|---|
| A new menu or a new season | Yes, to announce the change and build appetite | Yes, to show two or three real dishes |
| An opening or a reopening | Yes, the story and the date in 30 seconds | As a follow-up, the room on the day |
| A lunch deal, a brunch, an offer | Yes, a simple message that comes back every week | Possible, if you have time to film |
| The exact dish as it will be served | No, shots are generated, not filmed | Yes, that's its job |
| Your kitchen team, the chef at work | No, these aren't your people | Yes |
Neither guarantees bookings. Posting a clear message every week is what gives you a chance.
Example: a neighbourhood pizzeria switches to sourdough
This example is made up to show the method. A neighbourhood pizzeria moves to a sourdough base with a two-day rise. The owner has no wish to film himself kneading. He pastes his site's address, picks the angle 'what changed' and a warm style in the colours of his sign.
The shots show a pizza and an oven imagined in the brand's world. That same evening he can post a ten-second story of the real pizza coming out of the oven. The video says why to come. The story shows what you'll eat.
The script idea, in three lines:
- Marco remade his dough forty times this summer.
- His regulars couldn't taste the difference. He could.
- Since Monday, the sourdough is on the menu. Come and judge.
What a restaurant video ad costs
You get 1,000 free credits when you sign up, no credit card. After that, plans are monthly with no commitment and include scheduled posting to your networks, so you can queue the week's video on Monday morning before the rush. It costs less than an agency and doesn't take a service out of your week.

Frequently asked questions
Will the video show my actual dishes?
No. Shots are generated in your colours from what adkix reads on your site or Instagram. To show a specific dish, film it with your phone.
I only have an Instagram account, no website. Does it work?
Yes. Give your Instagram handle instead of a URL and adkix reads your offer and your visual style from it.
Can I fix a dish name in the video?
Yes. You approve the script before anything is produced, and afterwards you can change a line or redo a scene without starting over.
Can I make a version for tourists?
Yes. The video can be in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Portuguese, and the voice, script and captions follow the language you pick.
Will it fill my tables?
Nobody can promise that, adkix included. It helps you announce what's happening clearly and every week; the rest is your food and your welcome.
