Crafting a menu for your restaurant involves a number of moving components. Since we dive deep into all things menu in our post “How to Make A Menu: The Ultimate Guide,” this response will provide the practical steps to execute a great restaurant menu design. After reading our guide, gather together an organized list of all the dishes and offerings you plan to include in your menu, along with names, descriptions, and prices that follow the recommendations we share. As with any marketing design project, you should have a solid understanding of your establishment’s branding strategy before embarking on a new creative endeavor. With all this in hand, look over the various restaurant menu templates we have to offer, filtering by size, style, and folds. Choose the one that meets your needs, then employ your signature brand color palette, insert your logo and restaurant name, and use our text box tools to replace all of the sample dishes, prices, and descriptions with your own. We also uncovered a few menu secrets that you should consider when you layout and design your menu. Keeping in mind that all elements of your menu should come together to tell your story, add in any additional original content or images necessary to share that story with your customers. Select a font or two that fits your branding and personality, and easily insert any additional items (shapes, arrows, icons, etc.) if needed. Once you’ve made all the customizations you intend to, proofread diligently (obvious typos are never professional) before printing with us or anywhere else you like.
