With the increasing digitalization of the food sector, small businesses are discovering new ways to highlight their products in the competitive online market. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been consolidating itself as an important tool to optimize food styling and enhance the visibility of restaurants, providing high-quality images
A recent study byHostGatorrevealed that 61,41% of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Brazil already use AI in their operations, and 68,34% believe that this technology will be essential for their growth in the next five years. In the food sector, AI is transforming the way dishes are presented in delivery apps and social media, increasing conversion and customer loyalty
Food styling, the art of creating attractive visual settings for food, has always been an essential element for the sale of food products. Now, with advanced algorithms, AI software automates processes such as lighting adjustments, color correction, removal of imperfections, simulation of different settings for each type of product and images optimized for fast loading on digital platforms, to create professional images quickly
According to a survey bySnappr, high-quality food photos can increase orders on delivery apps by up to 35%. This reinforces the importance of well-produced images for the success of businesses in the sector
