Questions restaurants ask

What kinds of reels does Hotkhana Media make for restaurants?

Process reels that show food being made, like Kazan's ramen built bowl by bowl; staff-led skits and trends; guest reviews; festive campaigns for Valentine's Day, Women's Day, Christmas and New Year; and motion-graphic promos for weekend nights and new menu items.

Should restaurant staff appear in reels?

Often, yes. The team gives a restaurant a face. In the Kazan and Glen's Bakehouse reels, staff carry the idea, from sign-holding skits to handing desserts to the camera, which makes a place feel approachable before a guest walks in.

How long should a restaurant reel be?

The reels here run from about 6 to 53 seconds, and most land between 10 and 30. That is long enough for one clear idea, a good look at the food and a closing brand card.

How do I get reels made for my restaurant?

Book a free consultation through the Hotkhana Media website. Share what you want people to know about your restaurant, and the reels are planned around your dishes, your team and the moments in your calendar.
