How to Show Your Daily Menu in a Video

You can show your daily menu in a video with a few minutes of your own work. Film the board or the dishes on your phone, upload the clips to Relsko, answer a couple of questions, pick one concept and download a cut. The tool does the editing, the captions and the vertical format for you.

The point is not to make a film. The point is to tell today's guests what is cooking right now, in a format they already watch on their phone.

What to film for a daily menu video

You do not need a camera, a tripod or a script. You need a few short clips that show the food and the price.

• The menu board or the printed menu, filmed straight on so the text is readable.
• One close shot of each dish you want to push today. Ten seconds is plenty.
• One wider shot of the table or the counter, so people see the place.
• One short clip of a plate being put down or a hand taking it.
• A photo of the dish if you already have a good one from today.

Keep each clip between 10 and 35 seconds. Relsko accepts up to 50 files per upload, 200 per project and 2 GB per file.

The simple workflow

The whole process has four steps. You only do the first and the last one.

1. Film or pick your clips from the phone gallery.

2. Upload them to Relsko. The assistant asks at most a couple of questions.

3. Choose one of the three concepts it proposes. You do not write anything.

4. Download one of the three cut variants of that concept and post it.

If you already have footage from yesterday, you can skip step one and upload that. The video will still look like today if you film the menu board again.

What Relsko does and does not do

Relsko turns your own phone clips and photos into short vertical videos, 1080x1920, ready for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It never adds stock footage, generated scenes or anything you did not film. If the dish is not in your clips, it will not appear in the video.

Standard export is available to everyone. Animated captions are in beta. Publishing straight to social networks, dubbing and multi-client workspaces are in preparation.

The interface, the assistant, speech transcription and the text inside the video work in 16 languages. If your menu is in Czech and you want the captions in English, you can translate the finished video's text into any of the other 15 languages.

A simple example from a cafe

A small cafe films the board, two plates and the counter. That is four clips, about a minute of footage. The assistant asks a couple of questions, the owner picks the concept that puts the menu first, and downloads one of the three cut variants.

You can see a worked example on the cafe page at /for/cafe/. The same approach works for a lunch menu in a restaurant, a daily special in a bakery or a set menu in a bistro.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Filming the menu board from an angle, so the text is unreadable.
• Using old clips from last week and calling it today's menu.
• Trying to show ten dishes in 30 seconds. Three or four is enough.
• Forgetting the price. People want to know what they will pay.
• Waiting for perfect light. Daylight near a window is fine.

You do not need to promise anything about reach or sales. A clear daily menu video simply helps the people who already follow you decide where to eat today.

What to do next

Open Relsko, upload your clips from today, answer the assistant's questions and choose one of the three concepts. Then download one of the three cut variants and post it.
