The GLP-1 Family Fix · Premium Edition
In short

Brandworks designs restaurant menus with food photography: print-ready menus, QR menus, and photo sets for delivery apps and Google Maps. We designed and published our own 200-page cookbook, The GLP-1 Family Fix, with 100 recipes. We shoot in Orlando and Central Florida and work remotely with restaurants anywhere in the US.

01 — The book

Our own cookbook, start to finish.

The GLP-1 Family Fix is a 200-page cookbook by Victory Naydenova and Vladlen Naydenov, published by BrandWorks App LLC. One hundred high-protein, budget-friendly recipes for people on GLP-1 medication — and the families who eat with them.

Every page was made in-house: recipe writing, food imagery, art direction, typography, layout and print-ready files. The same team, the same eye — now available for your menu.

03 — The food

One light, one table, a hundred dishes.

What a cookbook taught us about menus.

01

The photo does the selling

Guests decide with their eyes first. Your signature dishes get the hero treatment; the rest stays clean and readable.

02

One system, every page

Grid, type and photo style are set once, so new dishes and seasonal specials drop in without a redesign.

03

Data guests actually read

The book's time-cost-calories-protein strip becomes clear tags on your menu: protein, spice level, vegan, gluten-free.

04

Built for print and screen

One shoot, every format: printed menu, QR menu, delivery apps and Google Maps — same dishes, same look.

06 — Concept

What your menu could look like.

A concept layout for a fictional restaurant, built with dishes from the book — print on the left, phone on the right.

08 — FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can you redesign our menu with the photos we already have?

Yes. If your photos are usable we lay out the menu around them, and we only reshoot the dishes that need it.

Do you shoot at our restaurant?

Yes — anywhere in Orlando and Central Florida, and we travel nationwide for restaurant groups. Layout-only projects with your existing photos work remotely for any restaurant in the US.

What files do we get?

Print-ready PDFs with bleed for your printer, plus web-sized images for your QR menu, delivery apps, website and Google Business Profile.

Do you write the dish descriptions?

Yes. Short, appetising descriptions and section copy are part of the layout work — in English, Spanish or both.

How much does a menu cost?

It depends on the number of dishes and formats. After a short call we send a fixed quote and a schedule — no surprises.

Is the cookbook for sale?

Yes — The GLP-1 Family Fix is available on Amazon: get it here.
