Menu Design
Menu design for restaurants, bars and breweries
Food and bar menus that are easy to read at the table and look like the place they belong to. Layout, type and illustration are planned around how guests order, and the items you most want to sell get the most room.

Questions restaurants ask
What makes a good bar menu?
Clear sections, prices that line up, a one-line ingredient note under each cocktail, and the most space for the drinks the bar most wants to sell. In the By The Peepal menu, the house beers get two full pages of tasting notes while the spirits run as tight price lists.
Should a brewery menu explain its beers?
Yes, especially for styles guests may not know. A few lines on the style, the flavour and how to say the name help people try a Witbier or a Brut IPA instead of falling back on a familiar lager.
How should a menu price dishes that come in several versions?
Put the choice in the price line instead of listing every version as a separate dish. The Balcony Bar menu prices its Pakka Local dishes by protein (paneer, mushroom, chicken, mutton or prawn) and its pastas by sauce with veg, chicken and seafood prices, which keeps a long menu short.
How do I get a menu designed by Hotkhana Media?
Book a free consultation through the Hotkhana Media website and share your current menu, item list and prices. The layout is then planned around your sections and the items you want to push.
