Restaurant Menu Templates You Can Print

Open a design before you copy it

The six designs are a coffee house, a burger restaurant, a bakery, a cocktail bar, an Italian restaurant and a Japanese kitchen. Open the one closest to your room. The template gallery lists them together, and so does menu examples.

Starting a menu from a design copies the colours, the type and the layout. It does not copy the sample dishes into your restaurant's name. You replace them, or you import your own PDF, photo, spreadsheet or existing page. Read the draft. An import of up to 150 items is still a draft until you say it is right.

What a printable template has to do

The price sits in its own column, on the dish's first line, and a long name wraps instead of pushing the price away. A description does not run underneath the price. Sections line up when a menu is set in more than one column, so a rule on the left meets the rule on the right.

You choose what reaches the paper. The allergen note, page numbers, logo, descriptions, photos and the QR code can each be left off. Words on the sheet come from the menu's language. Buttons from the editor do not.

Formats cover the things venues actually hand to a printer: A4, A5 and US Letter in one, two or three columns, a folding table tent, a counter card, and a window poster with a large code. The list is on printable menus. The PDFs are vector files with the fonts embedded.

Pick by the way guests order, not by a theme

A café needs a short drink list, sizes, and a case that sells out by noon. A burger restaurant needs combos and sides that are easy to scan. A bakery needs morning items that disappear. A cocktail bar needs specs that can change with the season. An Italian menu is long and course by course. A short Japanese menu is a few plates and the price of each. Those are written up separately: cafes, burgers, bakeries, cocktail bars, Italian restaurants and Japanese restaurants.

If none of the six looks like your room, still start from the closest and change the dishes. The designs are combinations of type, colour and photo treatment the editor already has. They are not a locked costume.

From template to a menu you can leave on the table

Preview on a phone. That is free. When the menu is the one you want guests to see, publish. Publishing is the paid plan. You get the QR code as PNG or SVG and the public address. Print the code on the tent or on the menu itself. A later price change does not need a new code. It needs a new PDF only for the paper copies.

Paste the menu address into Google Business Profile if you want Maps to open this page rather than an old PDF. The product will not type the dishes into Google for you. The steps are in how to add your menu to Google Business Profile.

Create a menu from the design you opened, or keep the samples as reference and type your own. Either way the sample dishes are not yours to print as a real menu.
