While printing a menu on regular printer paper is convenient and saves time, restaurant owners know this type of menu can only withstand one or two sittings before starting to appear worn. Restaurant menus, above all else, must be durable and spill-resistant. It takes time to develop and design a menu, and the finished product must reflect all the hard work completed on the back end. Furthermore, the tangible feel of a menu has a subconscious psychological impact on the dining experience for patrons. A well-designed and expertly printed menu elevates the atmosphere of your establishment and will encourage repeat customers.
Good menu paper is:
- Durable and Tear Resistant: Menus that last a long time and don’t start to look degraded over time.
- Grease and Spill Resistant: Menus that can be reused daily by customers without staining.
- Time Efficient and Cost Effective: Menus that don’t incur extra charges or create unnecessary work for staff members in a fast-paced industry.
Most restaurant managers will solve these needs by laminating menus individually, or by inserting regular printer paper into plastic menu covers. Both solutions take time.
