Your real stir-fries, dumplings and roast meats relit into glossy, appetising menu photos in about 30 seconds.
Chinese food lives on shine and colour, both of which a phone quietly kills. The glossy sauce on a sweet and sour or a black-bean stir-fry dries to a dull coat, the lacquered skin of a char siu or roast duck loses its glow, and steaming dumplings come out grey and lifeless. The bright sauce reds and deep soy browns that make a dish look rich flatten under takeaway light, and the steam that signals fresh-from-the-wok never registers. PlateRefresh relights the actual dish you cooked, restoring the lacquer on roast meats, the gloss on the sauce, and the warmth of the whole plate, without adding a single spring onion or sesame seed that was not there.
Shine is the signature of good Chinese cooking, and it is the first thing a phone dulls. The relight brings back the glossy coat on a sweet and sour, the lacquered glow on char siu and roast duck, and the rich colour of soy and black-bean sauces. Every piece stays exactly as you plated it; the dish simply regains the appetising shine it had in the wok.
Steamed dumplings photograph pale and clammy, losing the just-cooked look that sells them. PlateRefresh warms the tone, restores the soft sheen of fresh wrappers, and adds definition so a basket of dim sum reads hot and delicate. On Just Eat and Wolt your steamed dishes finally look as fresh as they are when the basket lifts off the steamer.
Chinese takeaway customers expect a generous, recognisable plate, and an exaggerated photo invites complaints. Because PlateRefresh only relights your real dish, the stir-fry on the menu is the stir-fry in the carton, same garnish, same portion. That honesty keeps your listings within delivery-platform imagery rules and keeps regulars confident in what they order.

Can it bring back the shine on my stir-fries?
Yes. Glossy sauces dry to a dull coat on a phone. The relight restores the shine and deepens the colour of the sauce you cooked, plus the lacquer on roast meats, so the dish looks fresh from the wok, without adding any garnish.
Does it add spring onion, sesame or extra garnish?
No. It only relights the real dish in your photo. No added spring onion, no extra sesame, no fresh garnish. The menu image stays a true picture of the plate a customer receives, keeping it compliant with delivery apps.
Are the photos suited to Just Eat and Wolt?
Yes. Each output is a glossy, well-lit menu image sized for Just Eat, Wolt, Uber Eats and your own site. Photos help: Deliveroo reports around 25 percent more orders on items that include photography.
