Restaurants · Twin Cities

People eat here
before they ever walk in.

The scroll decides the reservation. We shoot food, the room and the people behind it the way we've shot nearly 2,000 Twin Cities properties — planned in one call, quoted in writing, delivered in days.

Why It Matters

The food is great. The phone photos aren't.

Google, the delivery apps and Instagram are your front window now. When the pictures undersell the plate, the price on the menu starts looking expensive — and nobody tells you that's why.

The Google decision

Most guests look at photos before the menu. Dark, dated shots lose the booking before your food gets a say.

The delivery apps

On the apps, the photo is the whole pitch. Dishes with real photography outsell placeholder shots — and you're paying commission either way.

The feed

A quiet Instagram reads as a quiet dining room. A library of real photos and short video keeps the feed alive between services.

What We Make

Three ways to work with us.

Every restaurant is different, so every project is quoted in writing — the space, the dish count and whether we shoot during service set the size of the day. No phone-quote guesswork.

Restaurant Media Day

The full visual refresh — everything a guest decides on.

Why Cineminn

We've shot more Twin Cities interiors than anyone quoting you six weeks.

Nearly 2,000 properties photographed and filmed across the metro — plus commercial work for multifamily operators like JRK, hotels, senior living communities, builders and architects — on full professional cinema, lighting and audio kit, planned around your marketing goals, not just a shot list. Rooms, light and detail are the whole business here, not a sideline.

Days, not weeks

Our real estate work runs on next-morning delivery. Restaurant projects carry the same discipline — assets in days, not a six-week editorial queue.

Re-Shoot Guarantee

If a dish or a room isn't right, we come back and shoot it again. In writing, like everything else we promise.

Built for live service

Food and space before doors, real service after — planned so your team barely notices we're there.

How It Works

One call. One written number. One media day.

1 · The 15-minute call

The space, the dishes that matter, what the photos need to do. That's all we need.

2 · The written scope

A real number and a real shot list within one business day. No ranges, no "it depends."

3 · The media day

We shoot to the list, around your service. Assets delivered in days, with full commercial usage.

Common Questions

Asked before booking. Answered.

What does it cost?
Every restaurant is quoted in writing — the space, the number of dishes styled and shot, and whether we film during service set the size of the day. Brand video starts at $1,950. Send the details and you'll have a written scope and number within one business day.
Do we get full usage rights?
Yes. Everything is delivered with full commercial usage — Google profile, delivery apps, paid ads, social, print menus. No per-channel licensing surprises later.
Can you shoot during service?
Yes — a live dining room is the best version of the story. We shoot food and space before doors, then real service without getting in the way of it.
Who styles the food?
Your kitchen plates it — nobody knows the dishes better. We handle the light, the angles and the setting, and we plan the dish list with you before the day so nothing gets cooked twice.
Do you do video without photography?
Yes. Brand video books on its own from $1,950, and most restaurants pair it with a media day because the crew is already on site — which is the cheapest way to get both.
