We know that the recipe production can be basically divided into shooting, design layout, printing three steps. We first analyze these three steps.
Shooting: the kitchen by a professional photographer now cooking dishes set the scene according to the actual sample photographed to reflect the unique characteristics of the restaurant. Generally larger, there is a certain brand influence of the restaurant business will do so, to maintain the original, reflecting the taste. Currently on the market professional shooting costs vary, some with digital cameras, some with SLR cameras; some with lighting, some directly with natural light; in general, the charge according to the difficulty of shooting to set the standard. My friend has done 40 yuan / photo, of course, there are also according to the time charges. A recipe, alone shooting costs on four or five thousand dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, not uncommon.
Design layout: arrange the pictures in a certain order, add some creative elements, edit the book. Design charges according to the level of the design company, the customer's requirements. On the design alone, some companies charge 30 yuan / P, some charge 300 yuan / P, a cover charge several thousand dollars. Calculated this way, a set of recipe design costs, as little as three to five hundred dollars, as much as a few thousand dollars.
Printing: the good electronic document performance in the relevant substrate, in order to flip. Printing is divided into two ways, one is digital printing, one is traditional printing. At present, the use of traditional printing for recipes has been extremely rare. Unless it is a large restaurant chain with many branches, printing more than 300 or even thousands of books at a time. The vast majority still use digital printing, digital printing to do the advantages of the recipe is very obvious, low cost, convenient, fast, a print.
So, in order to make a set of recipes, you may have to hire a photographer, run a design company, and run a printing company.
