For restaurants, cafes and food trucks
Restaurant videos that fill tables, edited in a chat.
Film the dish coming off the line or the owner talking about the new menu. Tell Shino what to promote and it edits a vertical video with menu item cards, prices and where to find you.
Shino picked: Torn noteThe short answer
Shino is an agent-first, chat-first AI video editor for restaurants, cafes, bars and food trucks. You upload phone clips from the kitchen or dining room, tell Shino what to promote, and it edits a TikTok or Reel with captions, menu item product cards, price stat pills, a location callout and clean audio. No timeline, no editor on payroll, and Shino learns your brand look so every post feels like your place.
The problem with editing today
Nobody on staff has time to edit
Your team films great moments during service, and then the clips sit in someone’s camera roll because nobody can stay late to cut them.
Hiring a social media agency is a big monthly bill
For a neighborhood spot, a retainer can cost more than a weekend of revenue. Posting once a month does not move anything either.
Viewers cannot tell where you are or what it costs
A beautiful burger video that never says the price, the neighborhood or the hours gets likes from people three states away and no reservations.
How Shino helps
Menu item cards
Shino drops a product card with the dish name the moment it hits the pass, so a viewer knows exactly what to order.
Price pills and specials
Stat pills for "$12 lunch combo" or "Half-price oysters 4 to 6pm" appear when the owner says them, sized to read on a phone.
Location and hours callout
End on your address, neighborhood or cross streets and your hours, kept inside the TikTok and Reels safe zones so buttons never cover them.
Kitchen noise handled
Shino cleans up voice audio over the hood fans, the ticket printer and dining room chatter, then masters loudness for social.
Worked examples
What this looks like, step by step
Example scenarios: what you film, what you tell Shino, and what you get back.
A neighborhood cafe
You film
A minute at the counter: the owner pouring the new maple oat latte and talking about the fall menu, with a customer walking through the shot halfway.
You tell Shino
“Make it 20 seconds for Reels. Open on the pour. Product card with "Maple oat latte, $5.75" when I say the name. End on "Here through November".”
You get
A vertical reel that opens on the pour, trims the talk to the lines about the drink, shows a product card with the name and price right when it is said, keeps "maple oat" highlighted in the captions and closes on the November date.
A taqueria
You film
The chef at the flat top explaining why the al pastor is the most-ordered thing on the menu, filmed in one take during prep with the hood fans running.
You tell Shino
“Hook first: "the taco we sell the most". Zoom when the pineapple hits the grill. Clean up the fan noise and keep it under 30 seconds.”
You get
A short reel with the hook title in the first second, a punch-in zoom on the pineapple, the chef’s voice cleaned up over the fans and the slow parts of the explanation cut out.
A seafood restaurant
You film
The general manager in the dining room before service walking through three Friday night specials, with a few long pauses while reading from a notepad.
You tell Shino
“Turn this into a Friday specials video. Price pill for each dish as I say it, cut the pauses, and add "Fridays from 5pm" at the end.”
You get
A quick specials video with the reading pauses removed, a price stat pill for each of the three dishes as it comes up, captions with the dish names emphasized and the Friday hours on a closing card.
A pizza place
You film
Behind the scenes before opening: dough being stretched, sauce going on and the owner talking about the 48-hour dough, about four minutes of mixed clips.
You tell Shino
“Make a 35-second prep video. Text behind me with "48-hour dough" in the opening shot, music bed low under my voice, end on our address.”
You get
A behind-the-scenes reel built from the best moments of the prep clips, with "48-hour dough" placed behind the owner in the first shot, a low music bed under the voice and the address kept inside the safe zone at the end.
A family diner
You film
The owner at a booth announcing holiday hours and that the diner is hiring weekend servers, filmed in two takes because the first one ran long.
You tell Shino
“Keep the better take. Holiday hours on screen as a card, a "We’re hiring" sticker when I mention servers, and big captions for people watching on mute.”
You get
A clear announcement video from the stronger take, with the holiday hours on a card, a "We’re hiring" sticker timed to the mention of servers and large captions throughout.
A barbecue restaurant
You film
The pitmaster next to the smoker pitching catering and private events, then a few shots of trays being packed for an office order.
You tell Shino
“Two versions: a 30-second Reel for Instagram and a shorter one for TikTok. Stat pill with "Catering for 20 to 200", end on "Book through the link in bio".”
You get
Two vertical cuts from the same footage, each with its own hook title, a stat pill with the catering range, captions in the brand colors Shino already knows and the booking line as the final card.
