Crafting A Restaurant's Story: Menu Design Tips
When customers pick up a menu, they're beginning their journey with that brand.
Here are some tips on how to tell a restaurant's story effectively:
- Definition of Culture: Each restaurant has its own unique vibe, from formal to casual, trendy to traditional, and this should be reflected in the menu's design. Choose a menu style that aligns with the restaurant's atmosphere and personality.
- Highlight Food Values: Showcase food philosophy. Use professional photos or enticing descriptions. Highlight customer favorites, seasonal specials, and staff recommendations. Avoid unappetizing visuals.
- Embrace Company Values: Share what matters beyond the food. Whether it's community involvement, sourcing local ingredients, or special events, let customers know what the restaurant stands for. Use callouts or photos to convey these values.
- Tell an Origin Story: Tell the unique backstory of an establishment. Was it a family legacy, a culinary journey, or a bartender's expertise? Share it with a short "About Us" feature and engaging visuals on the menu cover. Personal connections build customer loyalty.
By infusing menu with these elements, it's possible to create a memorable brand experience that resonates with customers.
