Step by step
- Keep it 10 to 20 seconds. One dish or one moment. Start with the best shot, not a logo.
- Film vertical. Hold the phone upright. That is how people watch.
- Add words on screen. Many people watch with the sound off: “Bun bo hue, made fresh at 6 AM”.
- Use natural sound. The sizzle, the pour, the crunch. Music is optional.
- End with how to order. “Order for pickup, link in bio.”

Five easy video ideas
The pour: broth over noodles. The pull: cheese or noodles lifted. The build: a banh mi or taco being made. The tray: a party order being packed. The hello: the owner saying what to try today.

Questions owners ask
Do I need special equipment?
No. A recent phone, daylight and a steady hand or a cheap phone stand.
Can I make videos from photos?
Yes. Social Media Studio on the Grow plan turns your photos into short videos with captions.
