A good take out menu does more than just tell customers what food your restaurant offers. Using take out menus to market your restaurant goes beyond your most popular dishes. Printing take out menus not only brings returning patrons back into your establishment, but introduces new potential customers to your restaurant as well. Many people will bring take out menus into their office job, where co-workers and others will be introduced to your restaurant through the take out menu itself.
Because of this, it’s important to consider your take out menu design, layout, color and presentation. It’s important to have a cover that tells your customers what type of restaurant you are – for example, using a grill for BBQ or chopsticks for Chinese food is a great way to help others quickly identify what type of food you serve. The front of your take out menu is also a great place to include the address and phone number – making it easy for people to pick up the phone to place an order.
There are many different take out menu templates for the inside of your booklet. Most restaurant owners will group food by appetizer / entrée (by type) / and dessert. Some also choose to include high resolution images of their food to show the customers what they can expect when they order. Highlighting your most popular dishes is also a great way to influence what your customer orders from the menu.
Smaller Portions
Full size take out menus printed with full color covers are a great 
way to grab attention, and get people to look further at ordering from your restaurant, but some take out places are going smaller. Mini menus are small enough to fit in your customer’s pocket while still including all the information they need to order another meal. These are perfect for restaurants that cater to college students and in cities with traffic from sports teams.
Marketing your restaurant with take out menus is both effective and cost efficient when you have the right design and print firm behind you. Whether you are only open at lunch for sandwiches or are open 24 hours a day, our designers can create a take out menu template custom for your restaurant that will help bring customers back over and over again.
