Restaurants
that invest considerable thought in their menus do better than those that
don’t. Menu designs are vital in convincing customers to buy specific items. They also get them to return to try those that they didn’t have a chance to try
the first time around. Selecting the right menu templates can make a big
difference to a restaurant’s sales.
Menu design
isn’t just something you throw together! It’s based on strategically arranging
items so the dishes you want to sell more of (or are already big sellers) are
prominently displayed.
You’ll want
to plan ahead for your menu before you go to print. For example, consider
eye-scanning patterns of your diners while downplaying (or not showing
altogether) dollar signs on the menu.
The right menu design is critical. It’s the difference between confused customers and sporadic sales, versus customers ordering the dishes you prominently display.
Envato Market and Envato Elements have you
covered for all the restaurant menu template design choices you could want for your small
restaurant.
At the same time, print designers and marketers looking to get more
small-restaurant clients have a huge assortment of menu templates from which to
choose as well. Browse through the inspiring designs below.

Optimize Your Menu for Best Results
Without ready-to-use menu templates, you’d have to design the layout yourself, which
can be challenging. How do you arrange your items? Should you opt for
simplicity or grandeur?
A restaurant menu template with a creative design gives you a professional starting point to work from. Here are a few menu-design tips to ensure you drive more sales with your menu:
- Put the most important items of your menu
where diners are sure to look first, which is in the top-left corner of the
menu, much like reading a book. - Organize your menu into sensible and related
sections, such as appetizers starting at the top left and main courses where your main
dishes belong. - Only use the most high-resolution images when
displaying food photos on your menu to create an impression of high-quality
food and ingredients. - Remove those dollar signs from your menu, as
studies show that customers spend more without dollar signs in front of prices.
Customize your menu and optimize it for sales and customer experience.
