Menus & Beverage menus

What types of menus are there?

It doesn't always have to be the classic menu! Small special menus are becoming increasingly popular. No wonder, because there you can specifically address seasonal conditions, special offers or the time of day.

• Lunch or dinner menus
  Is your establishment a popular lunch spot? Then why not offer a special lunch menu. On this menu, you can put together dishes that are particularly popular at lunchtime. Perhaps special lunch offers are also worthwhile here? The same applies to the evening menu, of course.

• Daily or weekly menus
  Besides the classic menu, daily and weekly menus are probably the most popular variant of the menu! Here you can clearly display your special offers and change them regularly without having to adjust the whole menu every time.

• Seasonal menus
  Asparagus in the spring, mushrooms and pumpkin in the fall: there are different ingredients depending on the season. Offer your seasonal dishes on a special card - you can attach this to the normal menu. This way, your guests will see directly which dishes they can look forward to using seasonal ingredients.

• Menus
  Do you offer special menus? Then create separate menu cards for these menus! In addition to the sequence of dishes, you can also offer suitable drinks. Leave the menu card at the table during the meal - so your guests can always check which delicacy they can look forward to next.

What materials are suitable for food and beverage menus?

Menu cards come in many different materials:

• Polyurethane
• Imitation leather
• Linen fabric
• Washpaper
• Aluminum
• Cardboard
• Wood
• Bamboo

This is how every hospitality business finds the menu that fits the concept!

How are menus cleaned?

Just because the menu is an important marketing tool, things can also backfire! Namely, if the card makes an unkempt and dirty impression. Therefore, check your menus regularly and replace damaged or stained pages. Most menus can also be wiped with a damp cloth to remove dirt. The only exceptions are paper menus.

Do menus need to be disinfected?

As a rule, menus do not need to be disinfected; regular wiping is sufficient. However, during periods of increased germ contamination, such as the flu and cold season, it is advisable to also disinfect the menu. After all, it's not just since Corona that it's been clear that objects that are frequently touched and handled by many different people can be potential carriers of disease. However, not every material is suitable for cleaning with disinfectants: Sensitive materials can be damaged.
