Food photography service in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for food photography service, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for food photography service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional FOOD-162 photographs six restaurant dishes with two views each: overhead and 45-degree angle,12 final sRGBJPEGs at 3000 px long edge. Chef supplies food and controls safe preparation/holding/disposal. Photographer does not serve styled food or substitute inedible substances without explicit controlled separation; menu images must represent actual portions.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Lock shot list | Chef approves appearance and ingredient claims. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Set light/test plate | Approve white balance and plate detail before fresh dishes arrive. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Sequence dishes | Do not invent safe display times or return styled food to service. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Capture/edit honestly | Remove only agreed distractions; disclose composite work. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| Deliver 12 files | Client approves image-to-menu match and usage licence. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| Food colour unnatural | Check neutral reference/mixed light. |
| Dish wilts | Ask chef for safe fresh replacement. |
| Image portion misleading | Compare actual menu plate. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: Dish or shoot session. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Client approves image-to-menu match and usage licence.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Client approves image-to-menu match and usage licence. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
