While no two restaurants are alike, there are still some principles you should keep in mind as you create your menu. Consider the following questions.
The size of your menu may depend on the amount of food your restaurant offers. The larger the size, the more you can include. That means not just more food but more images. If you want to keep things simple, you can go with a single page that makes efficient use of space.
Your restaurant should have a unique personality. That should be reflected in your menu. Once you know what kind of brand you want to share, you’ll be able to show that through design elements in the menu, from colors to photos. A quirky restaurant might have fun names for its meals. A high-class restaurant may have very detailed food descriptions. Decide how your menu will represent you.
You’re not the only game in town. People have plenty of restaurants to choose from. Decide what will help you stand out from the crowd, then put that personality into your menu. Then, place the menu online so people can browse before they set foot outside their door.
Once a customer enters your restaurant, they’ll be taken in by all the sights, sounds, smells, and (eventually) tastes. From the moment they step through that door, you need to make sure your restaurant communicates its own style and amplifies what each person is about to experience. The menu is one of the first ways to do that, but creating an effective menu design can be a challenge on its own.
Think about all the elements that go into creating a menu. You have the text that describes the food, images of the food, the layout, graphical design elements, and more. That’s a lot to juggle. Using the free menu maker from Lucidpress gives you a great start in creating the perfect menu. From there, you can customize each part of it to show off your restaurant and the food you offer. Once you’ve gotten the right menu design, you’ll see how effective it can be in getting the customers’ mouths to water.
