What do we mean by aspect ratio? 'Aspect ratio' refers to the shape of an image.

1:1 Square - Menu Item: A 1:1 ratio is a square with equal sides of height and width; this is the ratio that Deliveroo uses for menu item images.

16:9 Rectangle - Hero Image: are a rectangle shape with a wider width than height; it os the same ratio as a traditional widescreen TV.

Menu Item Images:

These images are food photos of your individual menu items. These menu item images should only have one dish visible in the middle of the frame and be shot from an angle that shows all of the individual components of the dish.

Hero Banner Images.

A hero image is the piece of content that goes at the top of your Deliveroo restaurant listing and is also your key piece of content that displays when a potential customer finds you in the app search function. The hero image is a food photography scene that should clearly show a combination of dishes that best express what you do as a restaurant.

General:

Add some colour: Choose a clear, clean and complimentary background that will male your food pop - encouraging potential customers to click onto it.

Centre placement: Make sure your dish is in the centre of the frame to fully showcase the whole plate of food* (*images that don’t fit the frame may be rejected by Deliveroo).

Use complementary light: If not working with a photographer, try to avoid dark shadows and unfalttering light by taking food photos of the dish next to a window for more even lighting.

Tips & Tricks:

Don’t add to many items and overcrowd your hero image: The hero image will be the first image that the potential customer will see on the search screen, and on your business’ ordering space. Avoid overcrowding your hero image as this may look messy and put off customers from exploring your listing further.

Place focus on the food: Your food photography should not contain any faces, hands, watermarks, text or raw ingredients within your scene. Ingredients are only permitted if they are not prominent and clearly not part of the final dish.

Don’t use supply Deliveroo with overly photoshopped images or collages.
