Six steps from scope to delivery, and about four weeks from shoot day to the final film.
Scope and approvalsWe map the goal, the channels and everyone who signs off: marketing, the chef and the general manager.-
Paperwork before camerasGuest and staff releases, and the plating and menu list, are agreed before the shoot day rather than on it.
-
Venue and service planningWe walk the room, light it around the fixtures you already have, and schedule between services or overnight.
-
FilmingA small crew working around service, with food styled and shot at the pass so the plates look like the plates.
-
Edit and gradeFirst cut, two rounds of notes, a grade that keeps food looking like food, captions, and every vertical cutdown.
-
Deliver and protect the footageMasters, web files and social cutdowns, with footage access limited to the people you name.

What restaurant and food video production means here
Restaurant and food video production is the making of films for restaurants, bars, coffee and beverage brands, hotels and hospitality groups, and food producers: venue and brand films, food and drink work, vertical social batches, opening and event coverage, guest and operator proof, and paid ads. 7 Hills Productions has produced this work for Zuma, Strada Coffee, The Botanist, City Experiences and Gourmet Trading, from a base in Irvine, California.
One overnight in the room usually produces the venue film, the food cuts and a batch of verticals, which is what makes hospitality video pay for itself.
1Who is it for?
Restaurants, bars and nightlife, coffee and beverage brands, hotels and hospitality groups, catering and events, food producers and distributors, and restaurant groups opening new locations.
2What does it cost?
A typical venue project is $9,000 to $13,500: pre-production, one shoot day and one finished film, plus cutdowns. Food-only days start lower.
3How long does it take?
About four weeks from shoot day to the final film, with two rounds of notes built in.
Every restaurant and food video we make
Eight formats, each with a service page of its own.
What restaurant video costs in Southern California
Real ranges rather than a call for a quote. Every number below assumes one crew, one venue and one finished film.
| Package | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Venue or brand film | $9,000–$13,500 | Pre-production, one shoot day and one finished film, plus cutdowns |
| Food and drink film | $6,000–$12,500 | One day in the room, hero plus plate coverage, one finished film |
| Vertical social batch | $6,000–$15,000 | A batch of vertical cuts captured and edited from one service |
| Opening or event coverage | $6,000–$12,000 | One crew for the event, a highlight film and social cuts |
| Paid ad or commercial | $9,000–$25,000 | Concept, one or two shoot days, and channel versions |
| Second location film | $8,000–$12,000 | A new shoot day and an edit, reusing the established look |
| Extra cutdown | $750 | Any additional cut from footage already shot |
Building your own scope? Pre-production runs $1,000 to $1,500, a shoot day $6,000 to $8,000, and editing $2,000 to $4,000 per finished film. Cutdowns are $750 each. A second finished film from the same footage adds an edit fee, not another shoot day. These match our pricing page and budget estimator.
Why hospitality brands hire us
We film around service
Between services or overnight. A dining room that stops earning to make a video is a video that costs too much.
We light the room you have
Restaurants are designed rooms. We work with the fixtures rather than flooding the place and losing the atmosphere.
Food is shot at the pass
Plates are styled and filmed as they come out, with your chef on hand, so the food on screen is the food on the menu.
Vertical shot vertical
Social cuts are framed on the day. Cropping a horizontal hero is why most venue verticals look wrong.
One night, a quarter of content
A venue film, a set of food cuts and a batch of verticals from a single overnight.
We have opened second rooms
Zuma came back for Las Vegas after Los Angeles. A second location reuses the look and costs a shoot day plus an edit.

Restaurant video production FAQs
How much does a restaurant video cost?
A venue or brand film runs $9,000 to $13,500, which includes pre-production, one shoot day, one finished film and cutdowns. Food-only days start lower.
How long does it take?
About four weeks from shoot day to the final film. Booking usually runs two to three weeks ahead.
Will filming interrupt service?
No. We film between services or overnight, with a small crew and a schedule agreed with your general manager.
Do you style the food?
We work with your chef and film plates at the pass, so what is on screen is what comes out of the kitchen. A dedicated food stylist can be added.
Can you shoot vertical for social?
Yes, and vertical is framed on the day rather than cropped from a horizontal hero, which is why our social cuts hold up.
We are opening a second location. Do we need a whole new film?
No. A second location reuses the established look and costs a shoot day plus an edit, roughly $8,000 to $12,000.
Do you film in Las Vegas?
Yes. We have filmed restaurant work in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas rooms for the same group.
Do you cover openings and events?
Yes. One crew for the event produces a highlight film plus social cuts, from $6,000.
Who owns the footage?
You do. You get the finished films and the masters, and access to the raw footage is limited to the people you name.
