What a restaurant flyer design needs to sell
Hungry people decide in two seconds. A good food flyer is not a menu with every dish on it. It is one offer, one picture that makes the mouth water, and one clear way to order. Everything else is noise.
When you type your idea into Kreyta, put these in and the flyer comes out ready to post:
- The dish or combo, named the way your customers say it: 'Party jollof', 'Abula', 'Pepper soup Friday'.
- The naira price. 'DM for price' loses orders, so show it.
- Where and how: your area plus a landmark people know (opposite the filling station, beside the bank), delivery or pickup, and your WhatsApp number.
- One push line: 'Order before 12 for lunch delivery', 'Free drink with every pack this week'.
- The time window if it is a special: 'Every Friday', 'Today only'.
Flyers, Status videos and price lists from one idea
Each flyer request gives you two different designs to pick from, in Square (1080 x 1080) for the feed, Portrait (1080 x 1350) for Instagram, Story / Status (1080 x 1920) for WhatsApp, or A5 and A4 for printing and sticking on the counter. Styles include Bold, Elegant, Minimal and Owambe / vibrant, so a fine dining spot in Victoria Island and a canteen in Yaba can each look like themselves.
Food sells better when it moves. Kreyta's video tool plans the scenes and makes a vertical video ad with a voiceover. Want the voice in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or Pidgin? The Voiceover tool reads your script in Nigerian voices. Smoke rising from the pot, rice landing on the plate, a rider leaving with a pack. If you already have a good photo of your dish, Photo to video turns it into a 5 or 10 second clip, the photo as the first frame.
Every creation also comes with a caption pack: a short and a long caption, hashtags and a call to action for Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp Status and Facebook, free.
A weekly posting rhythm for a busy kitchen
You do not need to post ten times a day. You need to show up at the moments people are deciding what to eat. A simple rhythm that works for many Nigerian food businesses:
- Monday morning: the week's menu or price list as a Status flyer.
- Wednesday, 10 to 11am: a lunch combo flyer for office workers nearby.
- Friday, 4 to 6pm: a short video of your weekend special or small chops trays for parties.
- Sunday: a 'thank you' post with a real customer photo (with their permission) and next week's teaser.
Ideas that work for Nigerian restaurants
Small chops and party trays for weekend events. Office lunch subscriptions for the month. A 'pepper soup and cold drink' evening special. Swallow of the day with the soup listed. A new branch opening in Lekki or Wuse. A 'build your plate' price list for a buka where people mix and match.
Opening a new branch? The Open my shop Playbook makes a grand opening flyer, a 30 second voice ad and a WhatsApp broadcast message in one go, and shows you the price before anything is made.

Questions and answers
Can I put my real menu prices on the flyer?
Yes. Type the prices in your idea and they go on the design. Check every price before you post, and use Edit text to fix any word.
Will it work for a small buka or a home kitchen?
Yes. Kreyta is built for small food businesses as much as big restaurants. A home cook selling trays of jollof on WhatsApp is exactly who it is for.
Can I use photos of my own food?
Yes. Use Product photos to clean up a phone picture of your dish, or Photo to video to make it move. Real photos of your food build the most trust.
How much does it cost?
Every new account gets 3 free credits once, and captions are free. One credit is about N1,500 on the cheapest pack. See the pricing page for plans and packs.
Can I make flyers in Pidgin?
Yes. A flyer can carry up to two languages, so you can mix English and Pidgin, and captions come in Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa on request.
