Kickstart Food Delivery & Ghost Kitchen Marketing

Upload a raw dish photo to DesignLumo (https://www.designlumo.com) and prompt: “Enhance lighting, add subtle drop shadow, overlay brand logo in top‑right, and label with Helvetica Neue, #FF5722.” The AI returns a fully layered PSD in seconds. Replace the background layer with your original high‑res image, adjust opacity, and export PNG for UberEats. Run an A/B test against the unedited photo; expect a 10‑12% CTR lift after 2 weeks. No Photoshop skill needed, and the file stays editable for future tweaks.

Instead of hunting Canva templates, type a prompt into DesignLumo: “Create an Instagram story for 20% off sushi combo, bold red accents, include countdown timer placeholder, brand font Poppins.” The platform delivers a layered 1080×1920 design with separate text, timer, and background layers. Swap the timer graphic with a dynamic GIF from GIPHY, edit copy directly, and schedule via Buffer. Track story swipe‑up rates; a well‑styled post typically outperforms template posts by 15% in engagement. Export both PNG for static use and a layered file for future promos.

Collect a 5‑star review, then feed it into DesignLumo with the prompt: “Design a square Instagram post showing the review text, 5‑star graphic, brand colors #2E7D32 and #FFFFFF, include a subtle food‑background pattern.” The AI creates editable layers for text, stars, and background. Replace the placeholder text with the actual review, adjust font size for readability, and export JPEG for carousel posting. Brands that showcase authentic reviews see an average 18% lift in post engagement and a 7% increase in order conversion within a month.

Use Ahrefs (ahrefs.com) to pull the top 10 search queries for your cuisine (e.g., “vegan burrito near me”). Incorporate the highest‑volume keyword into each menu title, keeping it under 30 characters. Example: change “Spicy Chicken Wrap” to “Spicy Chicken Burrito – Best Near Me”. Update the titles in UberEats and DoorDash, then monitor the “Impressions” metric in the partner dashboards. Expect a 9‑11% increase in click‑through rate after 30 days, as users gravitate toward familiar phrasing.

Create a 5‑image carousel that matches your brand aesthetic using DesignLumo. Prompt: “Generate five 720×720 food photos with consistent lighting, brand logo top‑left, and #0D47A1 overlay.” Replace the AI‑generated food placeholders with your own dish shots by swapping the image layer. Publish the carousel to your Google My Business profile; the uniform look boosts click‑throughs by roughly 15% according to Google data. Refresh the set quarterly to keep the feed fresh and maintain SEO relevance.

Design two banner variants in DesignLumo: Variant A with a bold “Free Delivery Over $25” badge, Variant B with a “Buy One Get One Free” tagline. Keep dimensions at 1200×628 for UberEats and 1080×1080 for DoorDash. Upload each version to the respective partner’s promotional console for a 7‑day split test, tracking conversion lift via the “Orders from Promo” metric. Historically, a clear CTA banner yields a 5‑8% order increase; the winning variant should be rolled out permanently.

Prompt DesignLumo: “Create a 24‑hour flash‑sale animated GIF, 600×600, with a ticking countdown timer, brand color #E53935, and ‘30% Off All Pizzas’ text.” Export the GIF and embed it in your Mailchimp email template and UberEats banner slot. Use UTM parameters (e.g., ?utm_source=flashsale) to track clicks. In tests, countdown graphics boost conversion by 22% versus static images because urgency drives immediate action.

Generate a printable and digital referral card in DesignLumo with the prompt: “Design a 4×6 referral card, brand colors #FF9800 and #212121, include QR code placeholder and ‘Give $5, Get $5’ text.” Replace the QR placeholder with a dynamically generated link from ReferralCandy. Distribute the card via order receipts and social DM. Track new‑customer acquisition through the referral code; most ghost kitchens see a 5‑7% lift in first‑time orders within the first month.

Use DesignLumo to build a header template: “Create a 600×200 email header for weekly specials, include a placeholder for {first_name}, brand font Lato, background pattern of sliced avocado.” Export as an HTML snippet with the placeholder tag. Connect the snippet to Klaviyo’s personalization field, so each subscriber sees their name in the header. A/B test against a generic header; personalized headers typically raise open rates by 8‑10% and click‑through by 4%.
