Deliverables

Short-form social videos and menu motion graphics

Four restaurants, four moods, one overwhelmed phone camera

Tavola runs four venues and a catering arm, each with its own menu and atmosphere. Social content was filmed ad hoc between services, so posts were sporadic and looked nothing like the polished rooms guests actually visited. With no in-house creative and seasonal menus changing constantly, hiring an agency on retainer never made sense.

Creative on demand, booked per campaign

Tavola used Doodl Space pay-as-you-go, booking a burst of short-form video around each menu change or event. Raw kitchen footage went up on the platform and came back as edited, on-brand reels and menu motion graphics.

Before Doodl Space

Whoever had a free hand, filmed it.

  • Posts were shot on a phone between services, so lighting and framing changed with whoever was holding it.
  • Four venues shared one feed, and none of them looked like the real dining rooms.
  • An agency retainer meant paying year-round for work only needed around menu changes.
With Doodl Space

Book a campaign. Get a week of reels.

  • Raw kitchen and service footage uploaded to the platform whenever a new menu dropped.
  • Edited into a week of on-brand reels and menu motion graphics by a designer who knew each venue.
  • Paid only per campaign — no retainer sitting idle between seasons.

“A reel a day. No agency on retainer.”

We run four restaurants and a catering arm, all with different menus and moods. Our social used to be whatever the floor manager could film between services. Doodl Space turned that into a steady stream of short-form video — a reel a day across the group — and for the first time our feed actually looks like our dining rooms.

Questions worth answering

Social media videos and motion graphics — produced on subscription.

Teams that need creative output to arrive consistently — lean marketing teams, creative leads, and founders. Fuze Finance ran their entire social video pipeline through one subscription with a single decision-maker.

A subscription covers ongoing work — one project at a time, unlimited revisions, no per-change invoices. Pay-as-you-go fits one-off projects where you only need a single deliverable.

Same week. Raise a brief on the platform with your brand references and creative direction — no kick-off call needed — and a designer picks it up from there.

Revisions are unlimited and handled in the same cycle, with no extra invoice. Your first draft arrives within the agreed window and gets refined until it's right.

Start with the free trial — no commitment. That's exactly how Fuze Finance began, and the quality held up from the first video.
