Marketing for Food Delivery: Offer Images, Videos and Posts

Marketing for food delivery works best when every ad shows a real dish, a clear offer and one easy way to order, sized for the phone screens where people decide what to eat. Infinall AI makes branded images, motion videos and captions from your saved brand and plans posts in the Social Hub calendar, with 1,000 free credits every month and no card.

The food delivery businesses marketing problem

Food delivery businesses, from cloud kitchens and meal-prep services to restaurants that sell mainly through delivery, win orders on a phone screen. There is no dining room or street sign doing the work, so the photo, the offer and the ordering link carry the whole decision. People often choose in the moment, at lunch or late in the evening, which means the ad has to be clear at a glance: what the food is, what it costs or what the deal is, and where to tap.

The hard part is volume and accuracy at the same time. Menus change, offers rotate by day or time slot, and each platform wants a different shape, from a square feed post to a tall story or short video. A delivery brand that only posts the same hero photo soon looks stale, but one that rushes out new creative risks showing a dish, a portion or a delivery promise it cannot keep. Every draft should be checked against the real menu, prices, delivery area and ordering channel before it goes out.

How to run food delivery businesses ads with Infinall AI

  1. Save your delivery brand from your website

    Paste your public website or online ordering page into Brand Brain. Infinall AI reads up to 20 pages, asks only about what it could not find, and you confirm the result. Check the logo, colours, voice, menu items and prices before you confirm. Adding a brand is free on Free and Pro. Pick this brand in each composer so every image, video and caption uses the same details.

  2. Make an image or motion video for one specific offer

    Choose one promotion, such as a weekday lunch combo, a late-night menu or a new dish. In the Image composer, describe the layout and attach up to 6 reference pictures, such as a real photo of the dish, so the result stays close to what customers receive. One send makes up to 4 images. In Motion, pick your brand, shape and length and describe the offer for a short video. Both use credits on Free and Pro.

  3. Write captions that say how to order

    Open Infinall Chat with your saved brand and ask for caption drafts using the offer details you give it: the dish, the price or discount, the hours, the delivery area and the ordering link or app. Ask for a short version for stories and a longer one for the feed. Delete anything the AI adds that you did not supply, such as delivery times, ingredients or claims about being the best in town.

  4. Schedule posts around ordering times, then consider a boost

    Add the approved creative and caption to the Social Hub calendar, pick the platforms and set the date and time, for example before lunch or dinner orders start. Planning and scheduling use no credits, and without a connected account you get a reminder to post. Connecting accounts for automatic publishing is Pro. A published post can be boosted from a connected ad account with a goal, a daily budget and 1 to 90 days.

  5. Check other delivery brands in Ad Spy

    Search a competitor's website or a keyword such as a cuisine plus delivery in Ad Spy, on Meta, Google or LinkedIn. Searching is free on both plans today. Open a tile to read the copy, see each carousel slide and how long the ad has been running. Use what you see as ideas for your own brief, not as proof that their offer brought in orders.

Food delivery advertising ideas you can brief today

Good delivery ads are built around one decision the customer is making right now. Some briefs that fit the category:

  • Time-slot offer: a lunch combo or late-night menu, with the hours in the image and the order link in the caption.
  • New dish launch: a close, appetising shot of the real dish, the price and one line on what is in it.
  • Bundle for a group: a family or office order shown as the actual boxes that arrive, with the serving size stated plainly.
  • Repeat-order reminder: a short motion video of your best-known dish for people who already follow you.
  • Packaging and freshness: show how the food is packed if that is a real strength, without promising times you cannot meet.

These are starting points for a brief, not results. Real food photography is still the better choice when the exact plating and portion must be shown; you can supply those photos as references and use Infinall AI for the layouts, variations and copy around them.

Which platforms and sizes to use

Most delivery orders start on a phone, so vertical and feed formats matter most.

  • Instagram feed: images published through the Instagram API must be within a 4:5 to 1.91:1 aspect ratio, and a caption can hold up to 2,200 characters. The free Instagram post resizer prepares a feed version.
  • Instagram stories: Instagram recommends 9:16 to avoid cropping or blank space, which suits a full-screen dish shot with the offer on top.
  • TikTok in-feed ads: a vertical 9:16 video of at least 540 by 960 pixels is recommended, and the ad caption holds up to 100 characters, so put the offer in the video itself.
  • Google search ads: responsive search ad headlines allow up to 30 characters and descriptions up to 90, enough for the cuisine, the area you deliver to and the offer.

Infinall AI prepares the creative and the copy. It does not buy media for you; paid placements run through your own ad accounts.

Policy watch-outs for delivery offers

Delivery ads often lean on urgency and discounts, which is where ad policies bite. Google Ads editorial policy does not allow capitalization or punctuation and symbols that are not used correctly, so avoid headlines in all capitals with a row of exclamation marks. TikTok restricts ads with exaggerated information and does not allow absolute terms about a product in relation to time, region or brand, so a line like the fastest delivery in the city needs care. Meta prohibits deceptive pricing, which means the price or discount in the image must match what the customer pays at checkout. Meta also lists all capital letters and excessive exclamation marks as clickbait signals.

If you promise a result, such as delivery within a set time, Google requires a clear and easily accessible refund policy for guaranteed results. The simplest rule: only state offers, prices and times your ordering system actually delivers.

Budget: content credits versus ad spend

Free gives 1,000 credits every month with no card. Pro gives 3,000 credits a month and costs $10 for the first month, then $30 a month or $299 a year. In India, checkout is Rs 999 for the first month, then Rs 2,899 a month or Rs 33,999 a year. One credit is one US cent.

Brand setup, calendar planning, scheduling and Ad Spy searches use no credits. Making images and motion videos does, and the cost depends on the quality you pick, so do not plan on a fixed number of finished ads per month. A live boost uses 2 credits a month, and the ad platform charges your daily budget to your own ad account, so keep media spend in a separate line from content. A small kitchen posting one menu update a week may not need paid tools at all; Infinall AI helps most when you need many offer variations in several sizes.

Frequently asked questions

What are good marketing strategies for food delivery apps and kitchens?

Focus each ad on one real offer tied to a time people order, show the actual dish, state the price and delivery area, and make the order link obvious. Rotate creative as the menu changes, and check what other delivery brands run in ad libraries for format ideas.

Can a small delivery business start on the Free plan?

Yes. Free includes 1,000 credits every month, Brand Brain, images, Motion, Ad Spy and the calendar. You can schedule posts with reminders. Connecting social or ad accounts for automatic publishing and boosting needs Pro.

Should AI images replace real food photos?

No, not where the customer needs to see exactly what arrives. Use real photos as references so results stay close to the dish, and check every image against the real portion, ingredients and packaging before it goes live.

Does Infinall AI run my delivery ads for me?

No. It makes the creative and copy, schedules posts and can boost a published post through your own connected ad account. The ad platform charges the budget to that account.
