Instagram video ideas
for Restaurants.

Give each post a different job: introduce, explain or invite. Use these concepts as filming plans for your own business.

Introduce

From prep to plate

Lead with ingredients being prepared. Give a first-time viewer enough context to understand what makes this worth a closer look.

Explain

Meet the chef

Lead with the finished dish. Answer one question your customers ask, using the footage to demonstrate the answer.

Invite

Tonight's menu highlight

Lead with the dining room before service. End with a clear invitation: “Reserve a table.” Put the practical details in the post caption.

Suggested 30-second storyboard

One idea.
A clear beginning and end.

  1. 0–3 seconds: the opening. Show the dining room before service to establish the subject immediately.
  2. 3–12 seconds: the context. Introduce ingredients being prepared and explain why it matters.
  3. 12–25 seconds: the detail. Use the finished dish to make the story concrete.
  4. 25–30 seconds: the invitation. Close with “Reserve a table.”

Ready for the feed?

Review the video on a phone. The first frame should communicate the subject, and captions should remain readable without covering the important action.

  • Preview the crop and text placement in Instagram.
  • Watch once with sound off and once with sound on.
  • Verify menu availability, prices and dietary descriptions before posting.
  • Publish through your normal Instagram workflow. Track useful responses, such as enquiries or profile visits, to decide what to film next.
