Video Production for Restaurants and Cafes

When a restaurant needs a finished film rather than a feed of clips, Billie handles the whole thing: a hero film for the website, a launch video for a new site, or a piece about where the produce comes from. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.

For restaurants and cafes

The kitchen’s time is planned so production never collides with service.

What Billie makes

  • Website hero film
  • New venue launch video
  • Supplier and produce story
  • Cut-downs for social and ads

On the shoot

Food safety in the kitchen

The crew follows the kitchen’s own food safety rules: hair tied back or covered, no gear on prep benches and nothing set down where food is handled.

Diners on camera

Guests in the background are filmed only with their agreement or framed out, and a note at the door on shoot days lets everyone know a crew is in.

The service

Billie handles video from the first idea to the final export: concept, scripting, casting, the shoot itself, edit, colour and sound. One team carries the project the whole way, so the story you sign off on at the start is the one that ends up on screen.

What’s included

  • Concept and scripting
  • Location scouting and casting
  • Shoot crew and camera
  • Edit, colour grade and sound mix
  • Cut-downs for every platform

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a single restaurant or cafe that needs a steady supply of short-form edits and a few finished pieces each month. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a busy venue or a small group with menu changes, events and launches to cover, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a hospitality group that wants weekly sessions. A one-off opening campaign can be quoted as Bespoke Production.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

Can Billie film while we are open?

Yes, with planning. Most restaurant shoots put the dish photography and close-up work before service and keep the time on the floor during service short and agreed with the team.

What is included?

Concept and scripting, location scouting and casting, shoot crew and camera, edit, colour grade and sound mix, cut-downs for every platform. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
