Guide to Creating Effective Menus

Design a menu so compelling that folks can’t wait to spread the word


An inviting storefront and interior design can work magic in attracting customers to your restaurant. But once you get them in the door, you need a well-conceived game plan to not only make them stay but ensure that they come back again. A carefully-designed menu is a critical component of that plan. An effective menu can: 1. Increase revenues. 2. Entice diners to order your most profitable items. 3. Reinforce your restaurant’s image. 4. Differentiate your restaurant from your competition. Of course, you also have to make sure that your food quality matches what your menu promises. But we’ll leave that part of your homework to the chef!

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Hire a menu consultant Get a leg up on your competition by hiring pros who are savvy about the psychology of menus

I recommend:  The MenuAdvantage.com specializes in using a marketing and merchandising perspective to create menus that influence diner’s buying decisions and increase restaurant profits.

Pay attention to design Your menu’s design speaks volumes about your restaurant’s image and brand identity. With nothing more than a glance, customers should be able to easily determine if your eatery offers casual dining, healthful fare or haute cuisine

I recommend:  RestaurantMarketingCorp.com is a graphic design and print production company specializing in menu design for independent restaurants. Do-it-yourselfers can find menu templates at TheMenuMaker.com, or step up to a menu design software like MenuPro. This program offers more then 135 menu styles, more than 1,500 illustrations, watermark backgrounds and even a culinary spell checker. Punch up your design even more with some mouth-watering stock photography.

Go for to-go menus With American consumers constantly on the go, it’s no wonder that takeout sales are rising at the nation’s restaurants. In fact, the National Restaurant Association reports that 44 percent of restaurant operators expect takeout sales to represent a larger portion of their sales this year. Tap into this growing segment by making it easy for your customers to order takeout with handy to-go menus.

I recommend:  48hourprint.com offers takeout menu templates and offers price breaks when you order large volumes.

Use table tents Highlight your most profitable menu items—such as appetizers, desserts or specialty drinks—or featured entrées with table tents.

I recommend:  The Menu Shoppe offers a variety of table tents and stands to highlight your fare.Find paper stand-alone tents at PaperDirect.

Don’t forget the wine list When customers order Pinot Noir by the glass or a bottle of Bordeaux, it can greatly increase the amount of their check. If you serve wine, take care to arrange your wine list so it’s easy for wine lovers to find their favorites—a common strategy is to create separate sections for whites, reds and champagnes. Depending on the number of wines you serve, you can either include your list within your main menu or create a separate wine menu

I recommend:  Use MenuPro’s templates to create your wine list. For a good selection of leather and vinyl wine list covers, visit Vulcan Information Packaging.

Let your menu cover do the talking Whether your establishment is casual or elegant, your menu cover tells the story. Menu covers do more than that—laminated plastic helps keep your menus from getting stained.

I recommend:  Choose from casual or upscale menu covers at KNG.com or KronosMenus.com. Check out MenuCovers.biz for dozens of unique options, including wood, metal, vinyl, and even basket weave covers.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Put it on your Web site. According to the National Restaurant Association, 31 percent of consumers have used the Internet to view a restaurant’s menu. That’s up from 12 percent in 2000.
  • Check out your neighboring competition. A typical restaurant relies on 80% of its business from residents living within a ten-minute drive of its location. Visit your competition and find out how your menu differs in pricing, options and overall presentation.
  • Audit your menu annually. IRS-move over! This time you get to be the taskmaster! Make sure your menu stays fresh, current and profitable, by tracking how each menu item is performing. Restaurant gurus suggest that you think of each item as a tenant leasing space. You’ll want each one to be earning its keep!
  • Maximize the Sweet Spot. Place your best-selling or most profitable items centrally on your menu. That’s the spot where your customers are most likely to gaze first.
  • Keep it simple. Use an easy-to-read typeface and font size.
