All use cases

• Restaurant photo enhancer — for the dishes your kitchen actually serves — Photoshop wasn't built for a Tuesday lunch service. This is.
• Improve menu photos — without booking a photographer — A weak photo makes good food look cheap.
• Create a digital MenuBoard from your real dishes — Static slides nobody looks at, replaced by motion that earns the second glance.
