Link in bio for Chefs Reservations, the menu, and the room you will close for a dinner.

A chef link in bio should get a person to a table: the restaurant, the reservation, tonight’s menu or the standing one, and whether you do a private room. It should not look like a fan page of plated photographs with no address.

Portrait of Maya Okonkwo

Weather, concrete, and the people who wait in both

Photographer working between London and Lagos. Large-format landscapes, night streets, and the in-between weather that does not make the postcard.

London / Lagos

Selected work

Atlantic Edge

Cliffs at first light, fog still deciding whether to lift. Printed 30×40 on cotton rag. The path is real; I waited for a morning with no hikers.

Cast Concrete

A stairwell in Peckham that only works for twenty minutes a day, when the sun hits the mid-landing and the dust becomes a second architecture.

Links that fill a table

Maya’s photographs are landscapes, not dishes. Editorial is the reading layout. Upload the dining room yourself if the pictures should lead.

Reservations

The book you already use. Say the neighborhood and the meal periods. SayHi does not hold tables.

The menu

Tonight’s, or the standing card if the kitchen does not reprint daily. A photograph of a dish is not a menu.

Private dining

Headcount, the room, and what you will not do. A buyout is a different link from a Tuesday reservation.

A published recipe

One, if a book or a magazine piece is part of why people know the name. The restaurant still comes first.

The kitchen’s limits

Allergies you can work with, and the ones the line cannot promise. Write it as the kitchen’s rule, not a slogan.

The room before the portrait

People tapped because of a dish or a reservation link in a story. Give them the door, then the person.

01

Name the restaurant

If you cook in more than one place, say which name this URL serves. A personal page that hides the restaurant wastes the tap.

02

Press is a list, not the lead

Two credits under the reservation. The review is not how someone books Saturday.

03

Private dining is a scope

Minimum, the nights you close the room, and whether the menu is fixed. Leave catering to the baker page if you do not do it.

Not the baker page

Chefs

A reservation, a menu, and a room. The guest comes to you.

Bakers

An order window, a pickup counter, and a wedding cake that was asked about months ahead.

Templates for this work

Editorial

Menu language and a short portrait. Start here, then replace Maya’s stills if you want the room on the page.

Portfolio

When the photographs of the plates should take the width.

Instagram link in bio. The dish was the post. The guide is about the page that follows: name, the next step, and fewer equal buttons.

Make it yours

Link the reservation book

If the book is full, say so. A button that dead-ends makes the room look closed for good.

Put the address in words

Neighborhood and street. A map pin can be a link. SayHi does not embed one.

Say what the kitchen will not bend

A substitution policy in one sentence saves a night of messages.

Questions

Can guests reserve a table on SayHi?

No. Link the reservation service the restaurant already uses. The page can say which nights and which room.

Should the menu live on the page?

A short standing menu can be a text block. A menu that changes daily should be a link you control, so you are not republishing the page at 4 p.m.

How is this different from the baker page?

Bakers are taking orders and naming a pickup window. This page is a dining room. If you do both, do not make a cake inquiry fight a reservation for the top of the page.

Can I sell a cookbook here?

You can link the shop. SayHi does not take payment or ship books.

What about food photos from my phone?

Upload them in the studio. An image address copied from Instagram will be rejected.
