Fabric menu covers are unique and will distinguish your restaurant, cafe, or bar from others. When you use these for your food, wine, drink, or dessert menus, customers will remember them, especially if they are unusual or elegant and showcase the fact that this is an exceptional place to dine or party. You can display your food and other choices with flair and, starting with your menu, be the beginning of what will be a memorable dining experience for your guests. People do, after all, “judge a book by its cover”. The look and feel of your menu cover is the first impression that your customer has when sitting down to eat or drink.
Your name and logo on the cover will imprint them in your customers’ minds so that they will also recognize them when they see your advertising elsewhere. The back cover enables you to tell more information about your business such as whether you cater private parties, offer take-out service, have call-ahead available, or other features such as your interesting background and history. Also, where applicable, list other locations and their addresses and phone numbers. Be sure to check for misspelled words or typos before your copy is presented for production.
If you have a website, list that on the back cover and encourage your customers to contact you for special offers. Once you have that mailing list, you can send regular updates and coupons to those names that you know enjoy your establishment. This is an excellent way to connect and advertise.
Made of fabric, these menu covers last much longer than paper ones. Even linens and silks can be custom designed. Therefore, the additional investment is well worth the cost when they can withstand the use of many hands over a period of several years if they are taken care of. A heavy duty washable bookcloth material may last two to three years. They wear well and do not look shabby even over time. These covers usually are double stitched for increased durability.
The price of such a menu can vary greatly depending on the company you order from and if they have special sales going on, the type of fabric, how much customization is needed over and above the standard designs, the number of menus you order, and other factors.
Determine ahead of time what your budget allows, and then ask your supplier for suggestions. That would be the easiest and fastest way to determine what menu cover you can afford and make your decision fall into a particular category, which both you and the supplier will appreciate. There may need to be a little negotiation between you, or the supplier may have a set price for each menu. In that case, you have to make the best choice for you.
Good quality fabric menu covers show discriminating taste to promote your restaurant, cafe, bar, or fine dining establishment and will impress your customers and add to the success that your food and service deserve.
