01 / Sectors — Restaurants & Fine Dining

Show the atmosphere. Sell the table before they walk through the door.

Twinflow creates photorealistic 3D walkthroughs of dining rooms, private dining spaces, bars, and terraces — giving prospective guests and event bookers an immersive preview that static photography simply cannot deliver.

02 / The challenge The discovery gap

Guests choose restaurants based on atmosphere. But most online listings only show them a menu.

A restaurant's atmosphere — the lighting, the layout, the textures, the energy of the room — is often the deciding factor in whether someone books a table or moves on. Yet online presence for most restaurants is limited to a handful of photos, a Google rating, and a menu PDF. First-time diners, special occasion bookers, and corporate event planners are making decisions with incomplete information, and choosing the competitor with better visual communication.

03 / What it does Every table, every corner, navigable

Every table, every corner, every detail — navigable from any screen, at any time.

Twinflow captures your entire restaurant using professional-grade Matterport scanning equipment — dining room, private dining space, bar, terrace, and kitchen entry. The result is an interactive 3D model that diners can walk through on their phone, laptop, or tablet, from home, before they've even made a reservation. Embed it on your website, share it with event enquiries, and let the room sell itself.

04 / Use cases Five ways restaurants use Twinflow

Designed for every part of the restaurant sales and marketing operation.

01
Website & Google Business

Put the experience front and centre in discovery.

02
Private dining sales

Win corporate and celebration bookings without a site visit.

03
Seasonal campaigns

Refresh the model to reflect each new chapter.

04
Press & editorial

Give food journalists a virtual pre-visit.

05
Multi-site groups

Consistent quality across every location.

01 Website and Google Business integration

When someone searches for a restaurant for a birthday, anniversary, or business dinner, they are assessing multiple options simultaneously. A 3D tour embedded on your website and linked from your Google Business profile means you are presenting more — and more persuasively — than the competitor with only photos. The model runs on any device with no friction, and the time a guest spends exploring your space builds the emotional connection that converts to a reservation.

In practice

  • Full dining room model embedded on your website homepage and reservations page
  • Google Business virtual tour integration for discovery in search and maps results
  • Shareable link for inclusion in press releases, editorial features, and email marketing
  • QR code linked to the model for use on printed menus, business cards, and in-venue signage
  • Model updated after significant refurbishments or seasonal redesigns
Impact · Higher engagement, longer dwell time, stronger intent-to-book
02 Private dining room sales

Private dining rooms are often the highest-margin inventory in a restaurant — but they are chronically underexposed. Corporate event planners and PAs making decisions for business dinners, product launches, and client entertainment are comparing multiple options quickly and remotely. A dedicated model of your private dining room, shareable via a direct link, converts these prospects at the shortlisting stage before they have spoken to anyone.

In practice

  • Dedicated private dining room model separate from the main restaurant tour
  • Floor plan export showing table configurations and maximum capacity for different layouts
  • Model shared automatically in response to every private dining and events enquiry
  • Integration with OpenTable, SevenRooms, and other reservation platform listings
  • Model included in PDFs and email pitches sent to corporate hospitality buyers
Impact · More private dining conversions without proportionally more sales resource
03 Seasonal and tasting menu campaigns

A restaurant changes with the seasons — a new tasting menu, a refreshed bar programme, a summer terrace in full operation, a Christmas decoration scheme. Each of these changes creates a marketing moment that photography struggles to capture and distribute quickly. A Twinflow refresh capture delivers an updated model ready for seasonal campaigns within 24 hours of capture.

In practice

  • Summer terrace re-capture when outdoor space opens each season
  • Christmas and New Year décor capture for party booking campaigns in September and October
  • Post-refurbishment capture when significant room changes have been made
  • Tasting room and chef's table captures to market premium experiential offerings
  • Model links included in seasonal email campaigns and social media advertising
Impact · Every marketing season opens with a fresh, accurate visual presentation
04 Press and editorial use

Food critics, editorial teams, and travel writers are under time and budget pressure. Providing a 3D model in your press kit — alongside photography and menus — allows a writer to virtually visit the space before deciding whether to commission a review visit, and gives them the spatial context to write authoritatively about the environment even if they haven't visited.

In practice

  • Model link included in all press kits and media enquiry responses
  • Virtual tour shared with food and travel platforms for editorial integration
  • Model embedded on press pages of the restaurant website
  • Floor plan exports provided to journalists for layout reference in editorial copy
  • Used as a shortlisting tool for inclusion in 'best restaurant' editorial lists
Impact · More editorial coverage, better-quality reviews, wider press reach
05 Multi-site group presentation

Restaurant groups operating across multiple sites face the challenge of maintaining consistent marketing quality as the portfolio grows. Twinflow delivers a programme capture approach — all sites captured to the same standard, hosted centrally, and updated on a rolling basis — giving head office a single, reliable digital asset library across every location.

In practice

  • Portfolio-wide capture programme with consistent pricing and delivery timelines
  • Centralised model management — group marketing team controls all models from one dashboard
  • Individual site pages each featuring the correct model for that location
  • New site captures delivered within the same programme pricing on opening
  • Annual refresh cycle to keep all portfolio models current
Impact · Brand-consistent presentation across every location with zero additional coordination overhead
05 / How it works From consultation to launch

A simple, managed process — we handle everything.

STAGE 01
Scope & scheduling

We agree which spaces to capture — dining room, private dining, bar, terrace — and schedule a capture slot outside your trading hours to avoid any disruption to service.

STAGE 02
On-site capture

Our technician captures all agreed areas, typically in one to three hours depending on venue size. Spaces are captured in their operating configuration — dressed tables, atmospheric lighting.

STAGE 03
Processing & delivery

Your model is processed and published within 24 hours. We deliver the shareable link, embed code, and floor plan exports ready for your marketing team.

STAGE 04
Hosting & refresh

Your model is hosted on the Matterport platform. The first three months are free. Seasonal refresh captures keep your model current for each new marketing moment.

The room is your strongest sales asset. Make sure it's working online.
