An apology 🫶

I’ve got a confession and an apology all rolled into one for you all.

Yesterday I uploaded some pictures of the food I did for yesterday’s lunch service and I’ve been called out for the editing of the pictures on a local spotted page.

I have no shame in admitting that I used AI to polish the picture. I didn’t ask for a completely generated image, I just wanted to smooth the picture and take the hassle out of me trying to adjust lighting etc. but I also understand that it could be disappointing if food isn’t how it appears in the pictures, so I am posting all of the before ai edited editions so you can make your own judgements on the food.

In my defence as some of you may know, I am just seven weeks postpartum, so life with a newborn and 3 other children as well as running 2 businesses. Sometimes as a small business we look at using tools like AI to help us not cut corners but to help us make marketing easier and less time consuming.

This week alone my housekeeper is off due to illness and on Wednesday as well as juggling interviews I had to service the rooms and also step into the kitchen when our chef needed to go for an appointment.

I am exhausted but as a small business owner, my time is not my own. It’s so important to show up for customers and residents and I do not want to let people down. So yesterday during lunch service I took pictures of the food I had prepared as I was proud of the dishes. I used AI to polish the pictures I had taken as I wanted to showcase the food - we are so popular for breakfast but we aren’t just here for a cracking full English.

But alas I am sorry if the images I share aren’t a true reflection of the food that I produced. We are a small team, I don’t have a marketing budget that matches other local coffee shops and cafes who are part of giant chains who can have full glam photoshoots of their food.

There is a constant pressure to make sure your seen on socials and on this occasion maybe I have taken it too far so I am genuinely sorry.

But please don’t let this put you off, the food at The Volunteer is good, it’s honest and it’s delicious. The team in the kitchen work hard to source local food and support the local community where we can.

Thank you for reading and once again I am truly sorry that I have misrepresented the food. I hope you can forgive me and join us in person to see and taste the incredible dishes we have to offer 🫶

All the best,

Jakkie
