We hadn't updated our photos in three years. This finally got our DoorDash listing looking current.

Bad lighting is costing you orders. A photoshoot isn't the fix.
Most restaurants don't have the time or budget for a professional shoot, and it shows on every delivery app and website. MenuPhotoLab fixes what's actually broken, using the photo you already have.
Dark, inconsistent lighting
Kitchen light is harsh or dim. MenuPhotoLab corrects exposure and color without touching the dish.
Backgrounds that don't match your brand
Cluttered counters and mismatched tables get replaced with a clean, consistent backdrop.
A different size for every platform
DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Toast, your website, and social all need different crops, exported automatically.
The food itself never changes
Authenticity mode locks portion size and ingredients, so what guests see is what they get.
From phone photo to platform-ready, in three steps.
Upload the photo you have
Drag in a phone photo: JPG, PNG, or HEIC. No reshoot, no studio.
AIMenuPhotoLab enhances it
Lighting, background, and framing are fixed automatically. The dish itself never changes.
Export for every platform

We were shooting these menus before we built the software.
I'm Su Lee, and MenuPhotoLab grew out of SocialLee Agency (socialleeagency.co), the social media and content agency my older sister and I run for restaurants. Between the agency and six years photographing Atlanta restaurants before it, we'd done the same fix by hand for restaurant after restaurant: harsh kitchen light, a cluttered counter, a phone photo that didn't do the food justice.
So we built the tool we wished we'd had on day one. The same fix, in minutes, without ever touching the food.

Frequently asked questions
Independent restaurants, delivery-only brands and ghost kitchens that sell on DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub, and anyone who sells food online and needs every menu item photographed. It suits owners who would rather use their own phone photos than book a photographer every time the menu changes.
No. The dish on the plate is always exactly what you served: same portion, same ingredients, same arrangement. We never regenerate or invent food. What gets a professional upgrade is the staging around it: lighting, backdrop, framing and, if you choose, the plate it sits on, the same way a photographer restyles a scene without touching the food itself.
Yes. Most restaurants start with an ordinary iPhone or Android photo taken in their own kitchen. No professional camera, lighting kit, or food stylist required. JPG, PNG, and HEIC are all supported, so whatever your phone saves is what you can upload for AI menu photo enhancement.
Yes. MenuPhotoLab is built specifically for delivery-app menu photos. Export presets are sized and formatted for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Toast listings, plus your website, Instagram, and print menus, so one enhanced photo works everywhere your menu shows up.
DoorDash rejects menu photos that are blurry or low-resolution, show packaging, drinks, or extra dishes in the frame, carry watermarks or text overlays, or use heavy filters. MenuPhotoLab checks every photo against these same platform guidelines before you export, and the free Photo Rejection Checker under Free tools tests any photo against DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub specs before you upload it.
DoorDash's free shoot covers up to 20 menu items, and DoorDash says those photos may not be used on other delivery apps. MenuPhotoLab works from photos you take yourself, so every item on your menu can go on DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, your website and social media. The two fit together: use the free shoot on DoorDash and your own photos everywhere else.
No credit card is required to start. Every new account gets 5 free AI photo enhancements, so you can see real before-and-after results on your own dish photos before paying anything.
Every account starts with 5 free enhancements, no credit card required. After that, credit packs currently cost $13 for 20 photos, $25 for 50 and $45 for 100, and credits never expire. Monthly plans are $29 for 50 photos or $79 for 300. If you would rather hand the whole menu over, done-for-you packages start at $299.
Email us within 14 days of your first payment (as long as you haven't used the credits from that purchase yet) and we'll refund it in full. See our full guarantee policy for details. Failed generations are also refunded automatically, no request needed, on every plan.
Yes. Batch Enhance applies the same lighting, background, and style to dozens of menu items in one pass, so you can update your entire delivery-app menu without editing each food photo individually.
Yes. Save your preferred background, lighting, and framing as a Brand Preset once, and every photo you upload after that is enhanced to match automatically, so your whole menu looks like one consistent photoshoot.
Yes. Pick a platform and MenuPhotoLab automatically exports your enhanced photo at the exact size and aspect ratio that platform expects, whether that's DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Toast, your website, or social media. No manual cropping or resizing.
The landing page, signup and dashboard are available in English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. Support replies in English, Korean and Chinese.
Yes. Each team member can set their own language in Settings, independent of other users.
MenuPhotoLab is run by founder Su Lee in Atlanta. It grew out of SocialLee Agency (socialleeagency.co), a family-run social media and content agency for restaurants, and six years of photographing Atlanta restaurants. The software does by default what the agency did by hand for restaurant after restaurant: fix the light, clean up the background and size each photo for every app.
