If you have a restaurant that has so far survived 2020, then in addition to your own hard work and your team’s grit, you probably have to thank someone who suggested to make a food delivery app or other food delivery companies that have helped you to deliver your amazing food to many a hungry mouth.
For restaurants aiming to enhance their digital presence and streamline online ordering, considering to hire restaurant app developers can provide a customized solution tailored to their unique requirements and branding.
However, as with everything in this world – the food chain doesn’t stop with the food delivery companies. Food delivery companies in their turn rely on companies like Splento to deliver great photos, because without great photos – very few of us would ever buy the delicious food that food delivery companies magically deliver to us every day, rain or shine.
As a major food photography provider working with restaurants and food delivery companies all over the world – Splento learned firsthand that providing great quality photos consistently can be challenging for both restaurants and food delivery companies.
Seeing the big picture, Splento recently undertook a course of independent research about restaurant needs, conducting a series of one-on-one in-depth interviews and user testing sessions in multiple countries across both Europe and the USA.
The purpose was to understand the needs, successes – and failings – in the current systems of menu photography – for food delivery services, websites and social media purposes.
You can find this research with all the challenges and solutions outlined in this post: Should we all become food photographers.
However, during our research we have found that most food delivery companies are great at providing amazing visual content – the only problem is that it costs them so much money and human resources that they have urgently started looking for alternative solutions to professional photographers.
If you’re looking for an alternative to professional food photography, then why not try out the new FoodApp – a mobile solution to cut up to 90% of photography costs for delivery companies.
The app is available for free – download and play with it now or book a demo call if you need a personal demo from the FoodApp product manager.

One of those solutions employed by many food delivery companies is to ask restaurants themselves to take “user generated photos”, but at the moment – with the current technology this isn’t a workable solution. Restaurants simply don’t have the time to follow multi-page guidelines and don’t know how to take good quality food photos, suitable for food delivery apps.
Based on this and our ongoing research and restaurant interviews around the world, Splento is working on a mobile (app) solution that will reduce food photography costs by up to 90%.
This AI-powered solution offers in-app examples, composition and shot guidelines, mood boards, hints, and a host of other features to turn any restaurateur into a professional food photographer.
However, this article is not about the app. We have analyzed in detail the visual content of the top 100 food delivery companies around the world and have created a list of Top 25 making the most of it. This list is celebrating those Food Delivery Companies that are doing visual content right by employing food photography platforms like Splento, and cumulatively spend in excess of $50mln a year on it around the world.
