Menu Covers

Choosing a Menu Cover for your Restaurant

Your restaurant menu cover is an important introduction of your restaurant to the diner. The diner will immediately create an impression of the style, class, professionalism, food quality, price range and service to be experienced. Attention must be given to selecting a menu cover for your restaurant that accurately positions your restaurant in the mind of your diner.

There are many restaurant suppliers that stock a range of professional and ready-made covers in various colors or for a unique expression of your restaurant custom menu covers can be made to order.

Create a great first impression by taking time to select the right menu cover for your restaurant.

Five things to consider when choosing a Menu Cover for your restaurant

Durability - the menu cover needs to protect the internal pages of the menu. A beautiful custom design will loose its appeal if it becomes dog eared through constant handling.

Paper Size - Choose a menu cover that allows you to use standard paper sizes for the internal pages so that any later changes to your menu can be handled in-house.

Color - the color of your menu cover should be in keeping with the overall image and branding of your restaurant.

Cost - your restaurant menu is an investment in the overall profitability of your restaurant. An appropriate budget should be assigned to your menu design project.

Material - Menu covers can be designed in many different materials such as leather, wood, metal, linen, vinyl, pvc, canvas and laminate among others - while you may be spoilt for choice with the materials available to create your menu covers you will need to take into consideration all the other points listed above before making a selection and also:
- What is the best way to clean your menu covers?
- How will the material chosen react to cleaning products or spills from water, wine and spirits?

It might be a good idea to prepare a list of questions for your hospitality supplier to be sure that your menu covers are not only beautifully designed, but also practical as well.
