Well, I missed a photo, but emailed the scheduler to explain that I was confused and why. The guidelines aren't written very clearly, plus they have an example of the individual item with lid off, but it's next to the instruction that means they want you to take a shot of all items together in one photo with lids off. They don't really itemize in words or in photo examples what they want. In fact, there's no example shot of the photo I missed. I did read the guidelines and survey, of course, but it sounded to me like they were asking for the same thing twice.
Anyway, the scheduler was great and said my shop would be accepted (although it hasn't been reviewed yet).
I suspect this project was put together in a real hurry; there is wording from what was clearly a prior restaurant project that wasn't deleted.
I think they need to use a numbered list for the photo requirements, with a corresponding photo example showing exactly what they want. In this case, the shot with all items together with lids off wasn't shown. There are four photo requirements (the last one being for each individual item, so there will be more than four photos, of course), but only three are pictured.
Texas Roadhouse needs to do the same. After all this time, they still don't have those photo requirements specified unambiguously!
@rarararara, you did it right and were smart to take extra views! I wish I had, but my husband and son get annoyed when I take too long to take the photos--because they're hungry and don't want the food to get cold. Of course, we do have a thing called a microwave....
