What to include in a restaurant menu
A clear restaurant menu needs: your restaurant name and logo at the top; organized sections with category headings (Appetizers, Entrées, Desserts, Drinks); each item with a name, brief description, and price; any allergen or dietary notes (vegetarian, gluten-free, contains nuts); and your address, website, or social handles at the bottom. Keep descriptions concise — one or two sentences per item — so guests can decide quickly.
Print vs. digital menus for restaurants
Printed menus remain preferred for full-service restaurants — they signal quality and don't require a phone. Digital menus (PDF linked via QR code) reduce printing costs for frequently updated menus and work well for cafés and food trucks. Many restaurants use both: printed menus for dine-in and a PDF version linked to the QR code on the table. PublishMedia exports your menu in both formats from the same project.

Frequently asked questions
Can I update my menu prices without starting over?+
Yes. Open your project, click any price to update it, and export a new PDF. You can update prices, add seasonal specials, or remove unavailable items in minutes — without a designer or print shop delay.
What size should a restaurant menu be?+
Common restaurant menu sizes: Letter (8.5×11 in) folded to a bifold or trifold, half-sheet (5.5×8.5 in) for café and daily special menus, and 4×9 inches for slim single-page menus. All sizes are supported in PublishMedia.
Can I add photos of my dishes to the menu?+
Yes. Upload food photos as PNG or JPG images and place them in the image zones on the menu template. A well-photographed dish can increase order rates — especially for specials and featured items.
Can I create a digital menu from the same template?+
Yes. Export the same menu as a PDF to link via QR code on your tables, post on your website, or share via your Google Business profile. Guests can view the PDF on any smartphone without downloading an app.

Yes. Rename the sections for a catering or event context — Starters, Main Course, Dessert, Beverage Packages — and add per-person pricing or package descriptions.
