Spiffy. If I lived up there, I could help out.
What they need to do, is arrange with each restaurant, to take pictures of each dish.
Not at the same time, because that would be alot of work, but a few each week. Eventually, you'll have a picture menu.
And they need to use a high grade flash when taking the pictures. You aim the flash at the ceiling, then you get no shadow behind the object.
