Micro Market Styles

Light that survives a cooler door and a backlit kiosk

100+ curated styles built for the way micro market vending actually shoots: a cold blue LED strip in the cooler, a fluorescent panel over the kiosk, a film lid mirroring the ceiling — the light that turns a fresh turkey wedge grey. FoodShot corrects the cast, pulls back the blown highlight on the lid, then sets the SKU on clean white and pale grey sweeps, cool industrial greys or near-black falloff setups, including smart vending screen tiles. See our corporate dining and healthcare dining pages.

Builder Mode

Surface plus backdrop plus SKU equals a kiosk tile

Pick a surface — seamless white sweep, pale grey, brushed stainless. Choose a backdrop. Upload your phone photo of the pack, and Builder Mode composites all three so the pick sheet, the tote and the commissary wall never make the frame. The kiosk home screen shows twelve tiles at once, so one SKU shot on wood beside one shot on stainless reads as a jumble. Builder Mode keeps a four-hundred-line catalogue at one scale, one surface, one light. Comparing formats? See our convenience stores page.

My Styles

Lock the planogram look once, apply it to every SKU

A micro market catalogue is never finished: the sandwich range changes every quarter, a local bakery adds two lines, and every new SKU arrives with no image. With My Styles you fix the surface, light, crop and background once; every item you add inherits that recipe, and a manager covering nine sites can hand the saved style to whoever shoots that week. One upload keeps a vending route matching across kiosk, cooler screen and app. New SKU on Monday, matching tile on Monday.

Perfect For

Every kind of micro market and unattended retail operator

From one office kiosk to a sixty-location route off one commissary, the problem is identical: hundreds of SKUs, a screen that sells nothing without a picture, and a fresh range no manufacturer will photograph.

🏢

Office & Business Park Micro Markets

Every grey placeholder on the kiosk is an item nobody picks up, and the fresh range is where your margin is. Photograph the new wedge while stocking, restyle in about 2 minutes, and have a matching tile live before you leave the building.

🥪

Fresh Food & Commissary Programmes

Your own sandwiches, salads and parfaits are the only SKUs that can never have a manufacturer image. Photograph one properly built wedge, cut and faced as it goes in the pack, restyle it once, and reuse it on the kiosk, shelf tag and app.

🏥

Hospital & Healthcare Markets

Night staff buy from your market at three in the morning with nobody to ask; the tile is the whole interaction. Clinical corridor lighting flattens every fresh ingredient behind a film lid — restyled imagery keeps food reading as food, twenty-four hours a day.

🏭

Manufacturing & Plant Break Rooms

A sealed film lid mirrors the entire ceiling and condensation turns a good heat-and-eat tray grey. Shoot the tray on any flat surface in the plant, restyle it, and the griddle marks on the chicken actually read at tile size.

🚚

Multi-Site Route Operators

Images collected over two years from four sources, at four crops, on four backgrounds — that is what kills a route. Lock one saved style, hand it to whoever is shooting that week, and every new SKU joins the set already matching.

🏋️

Gym & Smart Cooler Operators

Condensation, clear film and cold blue LED light are exactly what a phone camera handles worst. Restyled tiles keep pack edges crisp and colour saturated on the cooler's small screen — the difference between a full cooler at 6pm and a shelf of shrink.

No. FoodShot never sends a photographer, never runs an on-site or studio shoot, never prints or installs a shelf tag, kiosk screen or planogram deck for you, and never invents a product you do not stock. It restyles photos you take yourself. You put the real pack on any flat surface you have, take a phone photo of it, upload that photo, and FoodShot re-lights and re-stages that exact image — the same sandwich, the same tray, the same film lid, the same portion, the same packaging. Nothing is fabricated from scratch, which matters enormously in unattended retail, where the customer is holding the actual pack ninety seconds after seeing the picture on the screen. What changes is the light, the surface underneath and the clutter behind it, never the food.

Put the pack on any clear flat surface, shoot it straight on or straight down, leave a generous margin of empty surface on all four sides, and fill about two thirds of the frame with the item. That margin is the whole trick: kiosk software, cooler screens and market apps all crop to their own aspect ratio, and a tight phone shot gets its edges cut off. Shoot with the pack facing you the way it faces a customer on the shelf, keep the film lid roughly parallel to the surface so it does not mirror the ceiling straight back, and take one frame per SKU. FoodShot handles the rest — background, light direction, colour cast and crop — and returns an image sized to sit in a grid with everything else you have shot.

Yes, and that is the point of shooting with margin. One upload produces a high-resolution image that crops cleanly to a square kiosk tile, a wider cooler screen banner and a taller app card without the pack ever being clipped or floating off-centre. Because the surface, the light direction and the scale are locked by the style you chose, the same SKU looks identical wherever it appears, which is what makes a screen of forty tiles read as one catalogue instead of forty separate photos. It also means adding a placement later — a shelf tag, a pre-order screen, a delivery listing — costs you nothing extra.

That is the case it was built for. A fresh range is precisely the part of a micro market catalogue that no manufacturer will ever photograph, because it is made by your commissary or a local supplier in small batches for your sites only. Save your look once with My Styles, then every new sandwich, bowl, parfait or bakery line you add inherits it from a single phone photo. Turnaround is about 2 minutes per item, so a new supplier drop of a dozen lines is a single session on the commissary bench, not a project. The tiles you make in week one and the tiles you make in week forty still match.

Those three are the reason packaged food photographs badly, and they are handled directly. A taut film lid acts as a mirror and normally reflects the entire ceiling into the frame as a white blowout; FoodShot re-lights the scene so the film reads as a soft controlled highlight band and the food underneath stays legible. Chill condensation, which a phone camera renders as a grey haze, is kept as defined beads on cans and bottles where it signals cold, and softened on film lids where it only obscures. The cold blue cast a chiller LED bakes into everything is neutralised, so lettuce reads green and bread reads warm rather than everything sitting under the same blue wash.

Each item is one phone photo and about 2 minutes of processing, and you can shoot a batch in one sitting and process them together. A realistic pattern is a bench session at the commissary or the warehouse: pull forty packs off the pick shelf, shoot forty frames in under an hour, upload them against one saved style, and have forty matching tiles the same afternoon. Most operators work through the planogram in blocks — fresh first because it carries the margin and has no supplier imagery at all, then local and small-supplier lines for the same reason, then the shelf-stable wall where a generic image may already exist but does not match anything else on your screen.

Your planogram deserves better product tiles.
