Chalkboard menu layouts need to be clear, easy to read and concise. It also helps if they are hand drawn, colourful and memorable!
At Chalk It Up Signs, we have almost two decades of experience in laying out menu content in the best possible way. Chalkboard menus are not the same as paper menus. People have more time with paper or handheld menus. People read a chalkboard menu while standing in line. Often they feel a bit of time pressure. If there is a long line up behind a customer, they will feel that pressure even more. Therefore, it is incredibly important that your customer can read your chalkboard menu layouts quickly and easily.
Sometimes, the challenge is to get all your menu content on a chalkboard.
We may have to edit the amount of content down for space. In addition, we must consider “black space”. This is the area on the chalkboard that is empty. Your customer’s eyes need a place to rest or the brain gets fatigued. Menu layouts are even more important when there is a lot of content. We want to get your menu items seen, but we don’t want to overwhelm the customer who might be standing in line with hungry, tired children.
This set of chalkboard menus went to Moochie’s in Georgia. It’s a fun, family diner with lots of options for the entire family. The trick to the layout is making sure every menu item can be found and read easily.
