Make a restaurant promo video that gets people hungry and through the door. Describe your dish, your special or your food brand, and Atlabs builds a short animated video with your mascot, your place and your signature dishes, ready for socials.
Rough Idea
The dish or deal to promote
Describe the dish, the deal and the feel of your place. The AI writes a short restaurant promo script with a mouth-watering hook, splits it into scenes and builds the video.
A 20-second promo for our Friday ramen night, two bowls for the price of one, cosy and steamy, for students.
Most Popular
Your menu items and offer lines
Paste the dishes, prices and offer lines you want to push. Atlabs keeps your wording and gives each dish its own scene, so viewers see exactly what they will order.
New menu: miso ramen, spicy tantanmen, veggie shoyu. Friday only: two for one. Book online or walk in from 5pm.
Full Script
A full shot-by-shot script
Planned the promo shot by shot? Upload the script with scene headings and voiceover lines, and Atlabs turns every shot into an animated scene of your place and dishes.
SHOT 1. Rain outside, warm light inside, steam rising from a bowl. VO: "Friday nights were made for ramen."

STEP 1

STEP 2
Lock characters, scenes, & props
Lock your mascot, your dining room and your signature dishes, so every promo looks like your restaurant and nobody else's.
STEP 3
Generate, refine, and publish
Generate the promo, change any scene, then post it to Instagram, TikTok, Google and your delivery app pages.
STEP 4
50,000+ creators & teams · No credit card required
Your dishes, always on brand
Keep your mascot, dining room and signature dishes the same in every promo you post
Regulars should recognise your food at a glance. Atlabs locks your mascot, your place and your signature dishes or packaged products, so the weekly special, the new menu and the how-to-order clip all look like the same well-loved spot.
Character consistency
Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. Your chef or mascot becomes the face your regulars look out for.

Scene consistency
Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so your dining room, counter or food truck looks the same in every promo.
Object and prop consistency
Dishes, packaging, cups and your logo look exactly the same in every scene. Upload a product photo to lock a packaged product, so shoppers spot it on the shelf.
