"Can you please put pictures on of your actual food and not AI"
A little behind the scenes at Gröund Me 💚
We understand why people ask—when you see something delicious, you want to know that’s what you can come in and order.
The food photos we use as our starting point for our advertising, are photos of OUR OWN FOOD made in our kitchen.
We use AI tools to help finesse those photos and create our posters and backgrounds.
We also recognise that editing can sometimes take an image further than intended.
We want our posts to fairly represent what we serve, and we’re happy to take that feedback on board.
Like many small businesses, we wear a lot of hats: cooking, making coffee, serving customers, cleaning, ordering stock and doing our own marketing to name a few. Professional photography, a marketing team and dedicated content staff simply aren’t in our budget.
Using accessible tools helps us manage those costs while putting our time and resources into our food, our service and keeping our prices as affordable as we can.
Running a small business is challenging, and there are times when we feel the practical support available doesn’t match the pressures we face. We’re doing our best with the resources we have and continue to work to find resources to support our time constraints to help grow and evolve.
We respect that everyone has different feelings about AI. Our intention is to share what we make with the community and give our little business the best chance to grow.
Thank you for your feedback, your support and every visit through our door.
Behind these posts are real people, a busy kitchen and a whole lot of heart.
For transparency I thought I would show photos for some of our posters to show how we do this.
Good Food, Good Mood. Kimberley, H & the Gröund Me / Belly & Soul team 💚
