FAQ
Common
questions.
Do we have to close the restaurant for the shoot?
Not at all. We work around your service schedule. Most shoots happen during prep or slower service periods without disrupting your team or your guests.
How long does the whole process take?
The Full Plate package is delivered in 7 business days from shoot day. The Tasting takes 10 days. Rush delivery (3 days) is available as an add-on.
Do we own the videos once they're delivered?
Yes. Every package includes full usage rights. Post them on social, embed them on your website, submit them to Choose Chicago — they're yours, no restrictions.
Can the videos be used for Choose Chicago promotions?
Absolutely. We can create a Choose Chicago listing-ready version of your video as an add-on, formatted specifically for their media library and partner promotions.
Do you handle posting to our social accounts?
We deliver files optimized for each platform. Social media management and scheduling can be added as an ongoing service — ask us during your story call.
What if we want more content after the initial shoot?
The Season retainer package is built for exactly that — consistent monthly content that keeps your feed active. Most clients upgrade after seeing the engagement from their first video.
