Free for restaurants
Run a photo competition at your restaurant in under two minutes. Your guests enter to win prizes from your menu — and every photo they take is yours to use on your socials, free and rights-cleared.
How it works
No agency, no photographer, no campaign budget. You choose the prizes and the brief — your guests do the rest.
Choose a couple of prizes straight from your menu — a free dinner for two, your signature dish, a round of drinks. Nothing to buy in, nothing to stock.
Decide what you want photos of: your new menu, your new venue, the food, or guests having a great time with friends. You set the brief.
Run it anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. Setup takes under two minutes — then the competition takes care of itself.
Email your list, post it on your socials, and put a QR code on the tables and bar. Every guest can enter in seconds from their phone.
Choose your prizes. Choose your themes. Go live.
Set up takes less than two minutes.
Why run one
Give your guests a reason to talk about you, post about you and come back. A competition creates excitement around your venue that a discount never will — people compete, share their entries, and wait to hear who won.
Every single entry is rights-cleared for you to use on your own socials. Weeks of authentic, real-venue photos of real customers enjoying your food — without hiring a photographer or staging a single shot.
What will guests photograph?
Launch a new menu and let guests photograph every dish you're proud of.
A new fit-out, a new terrace, a fresh look — show it off through your guests' eyes.
Honest, appetising food shots from the tables, not the stock-photo catalogue.
Birthdays, catch-ups, celebrations — your venue as the place where things happen.
At the end of the run you pick a winner and hand over the prize from your menu. But the competition isn't really over — every entry from every guest is rights-cleared for your own marketing. Post them on Instagram, use them on your website, drop them into emails. It's the most authentic content your venue will ever get, and it came from the people who love being there.
Set up your photo competition today, invite your guests, and start collecting photos you actually own. Free to run on Loop.
You pick a couple of prizes from your menu — like a free dinner for two — choose what the photos should be about (your new menu, your venue, the food, or guests with friends), set how long it runs (a few weeks to a couple of months), and go live. Guests enter by submitting their photos, a winner is chosen, and you keep every entry.
Under two minutes. You choose your prizes, choose your photo themes, set the end date, and the competition is live. There's nothing technical to configure.
However you invite them: a QR code at the venue, a link in your email newsletter, or a post on your socials. Guests enter in seconds from their phone — no app download needed.
You do. Every entry is rights-cleared for you to use on your own socials, website and marketing — that's the whole point. Weeks of authentic photos of your venue, food and customers, free.
Prizes from your own menu work best — a free dinner for two, your signature dish, a round of drinks. They cost you little, they're exactly what your guests already want, and they bring winners back through the door.
Anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. Long enough for word to spread and for steady entries through email, socials and QR codes at the venue — short enough that guests stay excited about the winner announcement.
Yes. You can run a photo competition free on the Loop plan — set it up at loop.do/rewards. Paid plans add more members, automations and coalition features.
Two reasons. It engages your customers — guests compete, share their entries and follow along for the winner. And it gives you a library of rights-cleared, real-customer photos you can post on your own socials instead of paying for a photographer or stock images.
