Costa Mesa restaurants tend to care about how everything looks — the room, the plating, the typography on the sign. Then the menu goes out as a PDF that renders like a fax. If design is part of why people come to you, the menu shouldn't be the one place that falls apart.

The HeyPlates advantages
Built for how Costa Mesa diners decide

We film it for you

Fully managed
Want us to keep it updated for you? We do that too.
Your menu is a brand surface, not a document
We build to your colors, your logo, your section names, with an intro video at the top of a section if you want one and a welcome message when guests first land. It should feel like the room it's served in. A generic template with your name at the top is the digital equivalent of a folding chair in a designed dining room.
Plating this careful deserves motion
The kitchens along 17th and inside The OC Mix plate food that looks engineered. Video is the only format that shows the parts a photo flattens — the sauce breaking, the crumb, the steam, the pour. If you've spent money on the plate, spend nothing extra to let people see it move.
Rotating menus stop being a problem
Seasonal and market-driven menus are the whole point in Costa Mesa, and they're the exact thing print can't keep up with. Add a dish the morning you get the delivery, hide it when it's gone at eight, change the price when your cost changes. The menu is never wrong, and you never pay a printer for the privilege.

FAQ
Common questions
Can the menu match our branding?
Yes — colors, logo, cover imagery, section intros, and a welcome popup are all part of the build. We design it to look like your restaurant, not like our software.
How often can we change the menu?
As often as you like, at no extra cost. Changes are live the moment you save, from your phone if you're standing on the line.
Do you shoot the video, or do we?
Either. Our on-site content team can film and edit your whole menu in one visit, or you can upload clips you shoot yourself — plenty of restaurants start on a phone and upgrade later.
