3D and AR menus: turning the dish before you order it

A photo flatters the dish; a 3D model shows it as it is. How real 3D dish models and table-top AR change what guests order, and how Zervoo generates the models for you from photos.

Why 3D beats a photo

A photo shows one plate from one angle, under whatever light the photographer had. A 3D model shows the whole dish: guests turn it with a finger, judge the portion and check what comes on the side. People order the safe thing when they aren’t sure what will arrive, and a model they can turn takes most of that doubt away.

AR: the dish on their table

One tap places the model on the guest’s own table, through the phone camera. There’s no app; it opens straight from the menu in the browser. For a guest weighing up a dish, it settles the question that matters most: “is this what I want in front of me?”

We generate the models for you

You don’t need a scanner or a studio, and nobody on your team has to learn 3D software. Send photos of the dishes you want in 3D and Zervoo makes a model of each one. The Menu plan includes up to 3 dishes, and each extra one is a one-time fee. Your team’s only job is cooking the dish the model promises.

What it does to the order

We don’t have figures for this yet, only the reasoning. A guest who can see a dish tries more of the menu and is happier to order something pricier, and the showpiece dishes gain the most: people who’d never risk them from a text description will order what they can see.

Where it works best

Put it on signature mains, desserts and anything guests hesitate over. The fries don’t need 3D. The ₹740 sizzler someone is deciding whether to trust does. For the process, see how Zervoo builds the 3D models from your photos.

common questions.

Do guests need an app for AR?

No. AR opens straight from the menu in the browser, on iPhones and Android phones that support it.

How do we get models made?

Send us photos of the dishes. We generate the models and attach them to the menu items for you.
