MealBox sessions follow different rules from standard DoorDash sessions. Before your session, make sure you’ve read the DoorDash MealBox Photography Guideline — it covers everything specific to this type of project.
The three most common points of confusion:
Packaging — no styrofoam, takeout containers, paper plates, or liners. Branded baskets are fine. Prefer white ceramic/glass or wooden boards.
Drinks — no drinks in any photo, even if the meal includes one.
Crop ratio — all photos must be 16:9 landscape, not 1:1.
Any question about a specific session → check the session brief on the platform first, then contact Ocus Support if something prevents you from following the rules.
