Proven Strategies For Menu Printing Boca Raton Restaurateurs Offer New Eatery Owners

By Kimberly Baker


Opening a new restaurant is a hectic and exciting time, especially if it is your first one. You hope customers will discover your establishment and recommend it to friends. That won't happen unless you make a great first impression. It starts with the building exterior and moves on to the hostess and the wait staff. When menus are put in the hands of your guests, how they react may determine the rest of the evening. The menu printing Boca Raton diners see must be designed to impress.

What dishes you will offer your guests is a big part of the planning process. Planning your menus should be done just as carefully. Your first instinct might be to try and cover every page with detailed descriptions of your dishes, but if you do that, your reader's eye will be confused and have difficulty finding a place to land. Complete descriptions are fine, but they should be done in such a way as not to overwhelm your customers.

Color is very important. You might save a little money on press time by having black and white menus printed but the end result will be bland and unappealing. If you are concerned about the cost, consider your menus an investment in the success of your restaurant. Bright pops of color make certain elements stand out and move the reader's eye. The colors you choose should complement the color scheme of your restaurant. This ties everything together and strengthens your brand.

If your logo is distinctive enough, people will automatically associate it with your restaurant. That is why you should spend plenty of time working with the designer to come up with something special. The logo should be displayed prominently on your menus. If it is not, you are wasting a prime marketing opportunity. Photos in the menus are equally important.

A common mistake restaurant owners make when describing their food offerings, is lack of imagination. You don't have to be a professional writer to come up with some simple, description language to describe an entree' or side dish. It doesn't have to be overdone with flowery adjectives or trendy jargon. Clear, enticing language that motivates the customer to order is all that is needed.

Diners love specials. You can use a chalkboard to announce daily specials. If you are planning to offer some dishes as dedicated specials on specific days, this information can be included in your menus. In order to get the reader's attention, you could put the item information in a box, increase the font size, or add color. Highlighting it will catch your customer's eye.

Multiple menus are a great marketing tool and not extremely expensive to print. Offering guests a separate child's menu, a wine list or dessert menu will increase sales. Once you implement the multiple menu strategy, you will begin to see customer's ordering specifically from them.

You want your new restaurant to get a good start. The way you present your business to the public will help determine that. You only have one chance to make a good first impression.
