In this post, DigitalPrintingIreland.ie provides you with tasty takeaway menu printing tips that are sure to get your customers’ stomachs grumbling. We’ll cover everything from colour, navigation, content and more. No matter your field, be it pizza, burgers or hotdogs, if you follow these guidelines, you’ll keep your customers hungry for more!

Structure your content

Want to make your takeaway menus easily digestible? Menu navigation is a good place for starters. Typically, customers will read your menus from top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Therefore, in order to make your printed menus easily accessible, you should structure your content in such a way that is compatible with this reading style. Put starter portions at the top left of the document and work down and across with mains and desserts. This way, your customers will be able to scan your menus quickly and pick their desired dishes in a quick and easy manner.

Use images sparingly

It may seem counterintuitive, but the overuse of images can actually detract from the appeal of your food. Instead, scatter a few high-resolution (this is important) images of your best dishes throughout your takeaway menu and leave the rest up to your customers’ imagination.

Be consistent with design

Takeaway menu printing should be an extension of your business. We recommend using a similar colour palette to that of your branding; utilising the same font styles and highlighting the same key messages. By doing so, your customers will associate the designs with your delicious food, thus furthering brand awareness and increasing the likelihood of repeat custom.

Consider your fold

At DigitalPrintingIreland.ie, we offer a range of folding options on takeaway menu printing, including:

• Half fold – menus are folded in half along the centre.
• Roll fold – menus are divided into three sections, with outer sections folding over one another.
• Z fold – menus fold like an accordion or Z-shape, allowing you to show three panels of artwork on each side, which are viewed in chronological order.
• Gatefold – menus have their outer flaps folded to meet in the middle; they can be unfolded to showcase the artwork within.

Display contact information

With takeaway menu printing, contact details are your bread and butter, so to speak. Because they are so critical to your success as a takeaway restaurant, you should make sure that you clearly display all forms of contact that a customer can use to make an order.
