1) How should I present my menu?

Presentation is especially important within the restaurant, hotel, and catering industry. Before your potential customers sit down to eat or check into their room, they need to be comfortable in the knowledge that they are about to receive a sound product. First impressions are of utmost importance; its one thing getting your customers through the door, but another ensuring they stay. With restaurants, pubs, cafes and bistros, many things contribute to your customer’s first impressions; such as, décor, furniture, mood and ambience, and menu covers. Your menu holder design is one of the first associations your customer makes to your food. If your restaurant covers are old, shoddy, the courses and options themselves don’t make sense or sound appetising; then your potential customers are simply going to walk away. You could have the tastiest Sunday Roast in the whole of the UK, but if your menu design is rubbish, or none existent, then you could lose out more than you think. Menu covers don’t need to be expensive, or elaborately designed, they just need to be neat, clean and enticing. Explanations of dishes need to sell themselves – if you’re selling sausage casserole for example, and you’re making it with tasty Sun-Dried Tomato Lincolnshire Sausages made exclusively for your restaurant; then tell your customer this. Sounds simple doesn’t it? But you’d be surprised at how such a fundamental can be overlooked.

For many different menu holders, made from all sorts of materials and at all ends of the pricing ladder, then log on to Smart Design & Print. Not only do we sell menu holders, we are also graphic designers and professional printers. We can design front covers, inserts, accompanying brochures or business cards etc. You name it – we can design and manufacture it. Simply call our Sales Team today to speak to an advisor – 0845 226 02 66 – we’re here to help you “Get Your Business Noticed”.

2) How can I change my menu material?

In these current times, change is good. Change highlights success and provides your existing customers with confidence and shows your new customers quality.

You’ve had the same menu holder for years, times have changed, fashion’s changed and popular meals have changed too – all in all, it’s time for change, and you don’t know how to… nonsense! Simply call Smart Design & Print’s Menu Holder team today and they will talk you through the changes that could be made. Perhaps you need new covers altogether, with some fresh and funky branding, or perhaps you need to change your inserts themselves; whatever your needs, Smart will work with you to make them a reality. All you need to know is the options available to you, what’s trendy this season, what’s reasonably priced, what’s popular – and we’re at hand to answer those questions for you.

3) What materials can a menu holder be made from?

Now this is a question and a half! The make-up of menu holders is extremely versatile and we can make your menu holder from virtually anything – you name it; we can offer it. From leather, to plastic, polypropylene, wood, metal, Buckray cloth (or Buckram material) – the choice is endless. And what’s even better is that all these materials can be personalised. We offer colour screen printing, hot foil, blind embossing and deep etched foiling. We can use either our own standard fonts and/or images, or we can print your own logo/artwork for a small one-off set-up fee to manufacture the print plate. After which, you own completely, so if you were to come back to us a few months later and require the same design on some guest information folders, then we could implement this completely free of charge.

And these materials are not simply limited to menu covers; we can also manufacture matching bill presenters, personalised place mats, personalised coasters, personalised table mats, guest information folders, hotel room folders, a hotel room directory, welcome folders, and order pads to match your menu cover.

4) What matching, menu holder, products are available?

We supply wine list covers, menu holder products, coasters, personalised place mats, personalised table mats, bill presenters, order pad holders, guest information folders, hotel room folders, a hotel information pack or hotel room directory, welcome folders, and many more.
