Hi Yael, every job is different. There are no standards with food photography. I highly suggest you shoot tethered, this way you know exactly what your images will look like, then you end up shooting a lot less frames. Also, always plan your shoots in advance so that you know what shots you need to get. It would be exhausting going through that many files and you will never give your client all those images.
Capture One Pro now has a way of cataloging large image data bases like what you must have. It used to be called Media Pro but they discontinued it and made Capture One Pro handle catalogs now.
