Jazzing up your restaurant menus takes some considerable creativity.
Jazzing up your restaurant menus takes some considerable creativity. A decent amount of graphic design savvy comes in handy, too. With the emphasis on eliminating touchpoints, many cafes, diners, and eateries have done away with conventional menus. Instead, their selections are embedded within QR codes or some other digital means of access. Let’s go over some relatively inexpensive methods for addressing this unique challenge.
Use Disposable and Recyclable Menus
Reuseable menus are a great way to save money. But as you slowly begin to encourage indoor dining again, you’ll have to get more flexible. What do we mean by this? Purchasing new stacks of disposable and recyclable menu forms is going to be your best bet. It helps slow down the spread of Covid (along with other diseases, of course) and will help your customers feel happier and more relaxed.
They should be able to enjoy their next meal under your roof, not feel paranoid about catching someone else’s carelessly shared germs. You can find menu templates for free or for cheap, but when you want high-quality results, you are better off partnering with professional printing companies.
Put Together Take-Out Menus That Travel Well
Our second suggestion focuses on your existing take-out menus. Don’t hesitate to take them to the next level. As important as having food that travels well, you’ll also want to have durable take-out menus that are easily portable and won’t be damaged too easily.
Of course, take-out, delivery, and curbside were commonly available options before the pandemic. Even after Covid has subsided for good, they will no doubt be more important than ever before. Trifold disposable menus fit quite nicely into delivery bags, no matter what size they are! Beyond the presentation of the menu itself, you could also try adjusting the items you serve. Maybe restrict your carry-out to the ones that are the easiest to take away? Not all meals demand their consumers to sit down at a table, in a booth, or along the bar!
Lean into Innovative Menu Display Ideas
Our final recommendation advises you to embrace unconventional ways to present your restaurant’s newest menu items and limited-time offerings. Posters, flyers, and signs can guide customers where to walk and serve as platforms describing tasty snacks, treats, and drinks that intrigue your guests. Then, look for clever ways to cut costs and use that extra money to spice up your web presence and app-based push notifications!
