Videos of home delivery
Deliveries in restaurants have seen a sharp increase with the pandemic. Due to the fact that people are opting for delivery as opposed to having to go out to dine, many restaurants have actually stayed in business.
This is a prime example of how great your service is for your customers. With respect to your customer’s order, you can make a creative video that includes preparation, packaging, and delivery of meals to their house.

Videos of your menu
Show videos of your menu or any specific menu designed for customers with certain dietary restrictions (vegetarians, people who follow kosher and halal diets, and so on)
A different, but equally interesting video idea would be to focus on individual menu items. For example, capture video footage of the moment the food trucks pull up to your location. Afterward, insert a video of your staff handling the specific menu items. Following that, you can stage the making of the item (without giving the recipe away), you may then present the item to the table and record its consumption.
A day in the life of you and your staff
Video of your staff performing tasks around the restaurant over the course of a single day. People are interested in knowing your staff and it is important for customers to have a sense of familiarity with your establishment.
Your videos can showcase your staff on a day-to-to-day basis while highlighting who team members are. You can ask your staff about things like, “What do you like most about being here?”
Have each team member introduce themselves, and post their individual videos on your website and social media pages.
