How to enter your menu
In the “Dishes and prices” box, a line that starts with # creates a section (Starters, Mains, Desserts). Each line after it is a dish, with three parts separated by a vertical bar:
Dish name | Description | Price
The description is optional, so “Coffee and sweets | 9.50” works too. The text size adjusts by itself so everything fits on the page.
Menu sizes and print resolution
| Size | Inches | Pixels at 300 dpi | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| US letter | 8.5 × 11 | 2550 × 3300 | Full table menu |
| Half letter | 5.5 × 8.5 | 1650 × 2550 | Daily special, placemat insert |
The PDF is generated at 300 dpi. Print it at actual size on heavy paper (65 lb cover or more), or laminate it so it survives spills.
Tips for a menu people can read
- Six to eight dishes per section at most: past that, guests stop reading.
- Prices without dollar signs: “24.00” looks cleaner than “$24.00” repeated on every line.
- A short description with the main ingredient and how it is cooked.
- Add an allergy note in the footer, which is good practice and expected by guests.
3 real-life examples
A neighborhood bistro
“Bistro” template, Earth palette: three centered sections, serif dish names, italic descriptions, colored prices. Nine dishes fit on one letter page without shrinking the type to the minimum.
A daily special card
Half letter, “Minimal” template: a single “Today’s special” section, three dishes and a bundle price in the footer: “Appetizer + entree or entree + dessert: $22”.
A coffee shop menu
“Cafe” template with the coffee cup icon: hot drinks, cold drinks, pastries. The rounded font and light background set a relaxed mood.
