Most restaurant Instagram accounts go quiet for the same reason: the posts take longer to make than the food. You open a template app, hunt for a layout that fits a pizza instead of a latte, retype the dish name and price, crop the photo three times and still aren't sure the price matches the menu.
Studio starts from the other end. You add your menu once and upload the photos you already have. After that, each post starts with your real dish, its real name and its real price already filled in. Pick a layout (a chef's pick, a daily special, a price card, a dish video) and it comes out sized for the feed, Stories or Reels.
Everything on this page was made in Studio for two Servestack restaurants, Sunnyside Cafe in Randolph and Boston Pizza in Norwell, from their own photos and menus.

How it works
How to use the instagram post maker
Add your menu and photos
Import your menu once and upload the dish photos and phone clips you already have. Studio links each photo to the dish it shows.
Pick a post
Choose a layout: chef's pick, daily special, price card, new on the menu, or a dish video. Your dish name, description and price are filled in from the menu.
Post or schedule to Instagram
Check the words, then post to Instagram now or put it on the calendar. The same design can go to Facebook, Google and TikTok in the right size.
What you can make
Every format, from one dish
Stories (9:16)
Full-height versions for Stories: "new on the menu", "order online" and daily-special cards that say what, how much and where to order.
Reels
Dish videos from one photo, or a Reel trimmed from the phone clips you shot during service, with dish names on screen.
AI posters
Masthead Float and Ingredient Halo AI designs set your real dish photo in a poster-style scene. These use credits.
Why Studio
What makes it different
Built for restaurants, not every business
Layouts have spots for a dish name, a price and a short menu description, because those are what a restaurant post needs. You won't be deleting "SALE 50% OFF" from a clothing template.
The words come from your menu
Names, prices and descriptions come straight from your menu, so the post and the menu always agree. Change a price once and the next post picks it up.
Your food, never stock food
Every post uses your own photo of your own dish. AI can move the camera or light the scene, but it never invents or swaps what's on the plate.
Free + credits
Template designs and dish videos use no credits. AI video and AI designs use credits from the 600 included each month.
What makes a restaurant Instagram post work
The posts that bring people in are usually the plainest: one dish, filling the frame, with its name and price where you can read them. People scroll Instagram to decide where to eat, so a post that answers "what is it, how much, where" in two seconds beats a clever one that answers nothing.
That's why Studio's layouts keep the dish big and the words short. A chef's pick card is one photo and one line. A price card is the dish, the name and the number. A daily special says what's on today and until when.
A simple weekly rhythm
You can make the whole week in one sitting and schedule it, so nobody has to remember to post at 11:30 on a Tuesday.
- Monday: the week's special as a feed post, then the same design as a Story.
- Wednesday: a dish video of your best seller. One photo is enough.
- Friday: a Reel from the clips you shot during a busy service.
- Weekend: an order-online Story before the dinner rush.

FAQsFrequently asked
Frequently asked
questions
Can I make restaurant Instagram posts without a designer?
Yes. Pick a layout and Studio fills it with your dish photo, name and price from your menu. You can change the words and look before you post.
What sizes does Studio make for Instagram?
4:5 for feed posts, 9:16 for Stories and Reels, and 1:1 square. The same post can be made in each size so it fits wherever it goes.
Does making Instagram posts use credits?
Template designs, dish videos and Reels from your clips use no credits. Only AI work (AI video and AI designs) uses credits, and 600 are included every month with the $49 plan.
Can Studio post to Instagram for me?
Yes. Connect your Instagram account once, then post right away or schedule ahead. Nothing goes out until you've approved it.
Will the food in my posts be real?
Yes. Every post uses your own photos. AI can add camera movement or set the scene, but it never generates or replaces the dish.
Is this the same as a Canva template?
No. A generic template makes you fill in everything yourself. Studio starts from your menu and your photos, so the dish, the name and the price are already right.
