Menu design ideas to boost your restaurant’s brand image
As we always say, having the best menu design for your customers is key to improving your brand image and for a fully satisfying holistic customer experience. That’s why we decided to compile a list of good menu design ideas you should consider depending on the type of restaurant you are running. You will be able to find the full set of menu designs we offer at Menu Maker.
It’s important to consider that your restaurant will need a look that matches its style, its food and the image that you want to convey to the customer. A family restaurant should not have the same design as modern restaurant that mostly hosts business executives. In one case you probably want a more colorful menu, with fun elements and images and in the other one you might probably want a simpler design, probably just changing some elements in the background and putting more attention to the font.
Modern menu design
Modern menu designs usually have more imagery and more complex graphic design, with fun elements and bright colors. In the example below, we have a horizontal one pager that would be appropriate for a burger restaurant. You could also change the image of the burger to match other types of fast food restaurants, such as hot dogs, pizzas, etc.
The example below would also qualify as a modern menu but it’s more targeted at restaurants with more typical meals, where customers are going to stay for a while and who expect other kinds of foods, such as salads, fish, vegetables… Not so fast food looking.
Blank menu background design
If you just need a blank menu background design, with MenuMaker you can choose any menu and select to create the menu without dishes. These are examples of blank menu backgrounds you can find on Menu Maker, but as I said, all menus can be created blank, only with the background.
These two examples are blank menu designs for an Italian restaurant and for an Indian restaurant. As you can see, the colors, the images and the fonts all relate to these countries. We have examples for many other international restaurant types, such as Japanese, Mexican, etc.
Café menu design
Below, you will find an example of a menu design for a café. You will find many other examples in the app targeted at cafés.
Simple menu design
Many restaurants prefer to keep it simple. In this case, I added two examples, a colored yet simple menu design and then a really simple one with a transparent background. Both would work for many types of restaurants, although simple designs are usually preferred by high end venues.
Cool menu design
If you are looking for a cooler menu design, you can find many of those in the app, but we selected this one with a very vivid background with vegetarian imagery in the background.
Wedding menu design
We are asked frequently for wedding menu designs, which we have a whole section of them, under the Set Menus section. These kinds of menus usually have white backgrounds and very often golden letters in its titles and elegant fonts. Also gardeny images are typical although there could be many other choices.
