How Compose Mode works

Create is for generating a new food image from scratch or editing a finished dish with prompt-led changes while keeping the core shot intact. Each run returns one final image based on your prompt and optional reference.

Example prompt: "Add lime slices on the plate and on the table."

Compose is Umami’s signature workflow: upload a real dish and a real restaurant scene, merge them into one natural final image. Use a prompt to add or change details.

Example prompt: "Place the dish naturally on the table and add a folded napkin."

Animate turns a required food reference image into a polished promo clip, with prompt-guided motion, 4K output options, and optional sound. Use the prompt to guide motion, camera feel, lighting, and mood.

Example prompt: "Someone is eating sushi."

Features

Built for the pace of restaurant marketing

Launch visuals faster

A new special should not wait for the next shoot day. Create launch-ready stills, compositions and clips while the campaign is still current.

Reduce shoot costs

Umami replaces shoots where they are no longer needed: menu updates, delivery visuals and seasonal tests.

Minimized workflow

Each mode is pre-configured. Just add a short prompt when needed and get ready-to-publish visuals without prompt-engineering complexity.

Built for food styling

It keeps the dish central, the scene believable and the motion appetizing, so the result feels like restaurant creative instead of generic AI output.
