Restaurant menu video

A menu read aloud is a list. A menu described is an appetite.

Paste or upload the menu. Dishes become a short spoken script you edit, then a presenter you choose delivers it as a finished video for your social feeds, booking page and screens in the window.

The detail, in plain English

A menu holds dozens of dishes and a video can carry four. Choose the ones you want ordered: the signature, the seasonal, the sharer and the pudding.

Allergens and dietary information belong on the printed menu, not in a thirty-second video. Say where to find them rather than reciting them.

What to do, step by step

  1. 1Bring the menu inUpload the PDF or paste the dish names and descriptions.
  2. 2Pick four dishesOne sentence each, focused on how it tastes and what it comes with rather than the ingredient list.
  3. 3Produce it for the feedChoose a presenter, produce a vertical video, and post it before the weekend rush.

A worked example

Worked example (illustration). A two-page autumn menu becomes a 32-second video naming four dishes, mentioning the set lunch, and closing with the booking link — posted on Thursday for the weekend.

What to watch out for

  • Never state allergen information in the video; point to the menu and to staff.
  • Prices and seasonal dishes change, so keep the script for quick reissues.
  • Long ingredient lists sound like a recipe — describe the dish, not the contents.

How AutoPersonify does it

PDF, Word, plain text and Markdown files are read in your browser, and a public web address can be read for you. Everything else is pasted in as text. You then get 143 real presenters, scripts in 42 languages, and a free tier with no card. Paid plans are Starter £49, Growth £149 and Scale £499 a month, measured in finished video minutes.

Questions people ask

How long does it take?

Fifteen minutes for the first one, five for each later menu change, because the structure stays the same and only the dishes move.

Can I change the wording?

Yes. Menu language is written to be read slowly; spoken, it needs shorter sentences and fewer adjectives.

What does it cost?

A single site posting one menu video a month fits the free tier to begin with; groups running several venues usually move to Starter £49 or Growth £149.
