I was recently reading about how delivery platforms handle restaurant photos at scale, and it turns out companies like Splento Visual Platform | AI Content Infrastructure for Food are operating more like content infrastructure than traditional photography services.
What surprised me is that restaurants can apparently take the photos themselves through an app, while the system guides them with AI tips and then automatically processes the images for delivery platforms afterwards.
When you think about it, that approach makes a lot more sense operationally. No platform is realistically going to send photographers to thousands of restaurants every time menus change.
And honestly, after seeing enough dark blurry food photos on delivery apps, you start understanding why systems like this are becoming necessary.
