Why the Industry’s First Fully AI-Generated Restaurant Ads Feel More Like a Prototype Than a Breakthrough |

AI-Generated Restaurant Ads: Prototype or Breakthrough?

Teriyaki Madness has launched what it claims to be the first fully AI-generated ad campaign in the fast-casual space, produced in partnership with AI studio Genre.ai.

The campaign was created using tools like Veo 3, Kling 2.5, and ElevenLabs, with every on-screen element, including actors, voiceovers, and special effects, being AI-generated. The only "real" aspect of the ads is the food itself.
