What is 3D food photography?

3D food photography uses a dedicated scanner to capture photorealistic 3D models of dishes. With 3dish, restaurants place a dish inside the scanner, press a button, and receive a fully interactive 3D model plus professional 2D images in about 35 seconds.

How does a 3D scanner work for restaurants?

The 3dish scanner is delivered directly to a restaurant kitchen. Staff place a dish inside, press one button, and the scanner captures a full 360-degree 3D model in 35 seconds. The results are uploaded automatically to a cloud dashboard where dishes can be managed and published to a digital menu.

What is a digital menu with 3D dishes?

A digital menu with 3D dishes lets restaurant guests view interactive, photorealistic 3D models of every dish on their phone or tablet. Customers can rotate, zoom, and explore each dish before ordering, which boosts engagement and helps with ordering decisions.

Can I use augmented reality (AR) in my restaurant?

Yes. 3dish 3D models are AR-ready, meaning guests can view a dish in augmented reality on their table using their smartphone. This is supported on both iOS and Android devices with no extra app required.

How do I start a food photography business with 3D scanning?

You can become a 3dish partner by purchasing a branded scanner and offering 2D and 3D food photography sessions to restaurants. The 3dish partner dashboard lets you manage multiple client accounts and scale a recurring revenue business.
