Shoot your dishes on a phone in your own kitchen and get relit, menu-ready photos back in about 30 seconds.


Brno is a student city first — tens of thousands of them, ordering through Wolt, Foodora and Bolt Food on weeknights and filling the dense ring of cafés and bistros around Zelný trh at the weekend. That crowd chooses fast, from a phone, from a picture. Czechia's second city has the kitchens to compete with Prague, but a professional food shoot still runs CZK 8,000–15,000 (roughly €320–600) — money most small bistros here simply don't allocate to delivery tiles. PlateRefresh closes that gap: photograph the actual plate leaving the pass, and the AI relights it into a clean studio frame — same dish, same portion, nothing added.
Brno's bistros run on student wallets: portions are honest, margins are thin, and a CZK 8,000–15,000 shoot invoice would eat a week of profit. PlateRefresh starts at a one-time $9.99 with no subscription, which puts studio-grade tiles within reach of a kitchen that counts every crown. The photographer remains the right call for a flagship image; the everyday delivery menu no longer has to wait for that budget to exist.
With Wolt, Foodora and Bolt Food all active in Brno, a student choosing dinner flicks through the same compact grid every night, and dark, orange-tinted tiles get skipped without a thought. Photography is the cheapest ranking lever there is — Deliveroo reports around 25 percent more orders when items carry photography — and because PlateRefresh only relights the real dish, the tile that wins the tap is the meal that actually shows up.
The scene around Zelný trh turns over quickly — new counters, new concepts, menus that change with the semester. A new opening used to launch its delivery listing bare and stay that way for months while a shoot got scheduled. With PlateRefresh, day-one dishes are photographed during prep and live on the apps the same afternoon, all in one consistent style, so a three-week-old bistro presents like it has been trading for years.

Does it work with photos taken in a real Brno kitchen?
Yes — shoot on your phone wherever you plate: the pass, a prep bench, a windowsill. The relight replaces the dim kitchen light with clean studio light while keeping the dish exactly as it left the pan.
Are the photos accepted by Wolt, Foodora and Bolt Food?
Yes. The output is a clean, well-lit menu image sized for delivery platforms, and because nothing is added to the food, it stays inside platform rules against misleading imagery. The tile matches the box.
How does the price compare to a food photographer in Brno?
Test Mode is a one-time $9.99 for several finished photos — no subscription, no free tier. A Brno food shoot typically runs CZK 8,000–15,000. For keeping a full delivery menu photographed, the difference is night and day; for hero imagery, book the photographer.
Do you change or replace my food in the photo?
Never. PlateRefresh relights the exact dish in your photo — no added garnish, no swapped plate, no invented sides. The menu image stays a true picture of what your kitchen serves.
