La Mesa Kitchen: Complete Menu Refresh in One Afternoon
The Challenge
"We needed fresh photography for our spring menu launch, but quotes from food photographers ranged from $3,500 to $8,000. As a family-owned restaurant, that budget just wasn't there."
— Maria Rodriguez, Owner
The Solution
La Mesa uploaded 12 signature dishes and used Nano Banana Batch to generate overhead shots, close-up plating details, lifestyle compositions, and seasonal variations.
The Results
- 89% reduction in costs
- 4 hours vs 2 weeks timeline
- 40% increase in social engagement
- 26% lift in online ordering

— David Chen, VP of Marketing
