The new menu in venues: alternatives to lists, from blackboards to easels

The menu is the calling card of venues, which are increasingly taking to alternatives to lists, from chalkboards to paper easel to plexiglass menu holders.

Venue menu, the alternatives

Venuemenu, a passion...looking for alternatives! The attention of the customer who enters your venue, after the location and set-up, is usually bound to fall on the menu, on a par with plates, orders, and chalkboards real business card. From this point on, the choice is in the hands of the patron and your advice, and while the substance of what is on the list is crucial, the form through which it is presented also wants its part. We wrote "usually" because the health emergency has accelerated a process already underway, namely the choice of alternatives to classic restaurant menus. Alongside the classic lamination of A4 sheets and the technological QR code and access to dedicated web pages, more traditional, but precisely for this reason always effective and in demand, products resist as alternative methods of menus to be offered in your establishment.

Menu board with easel

Starting with menu boards, of which there are several types. The double-sided blackboard with easel is ideal for displaying outside the venue to attract customers from both sides of the street; the double-sided design allows different or the same proposals to be displayed on both sides, viewable by as many people as possible. The wooden chalkboard with easel is also excellent as an option for dish list and proposals of the day, being that it can also be used indoors. Not affordable for all budgets, but definitely of superior quality.

Hanging menu board

If you are looking for a menu board for hanging, the mdf chalkboard with wooden frame is for you in the different sizes offered by RGmania. Made of medium density fiderboard, i.e. fiberboard, and dark wood profile with barely noticeable grain, this hanging chalkboard is perfect for fresh and exclusive proposals of the day, but also as a list to be left for guests; thanks to it you have the possibility to vary the menu frequently, follow the seasonality of the dishes and of course ensure better hygiene.

Mini wooden table board

An excellent compromise between traditional list and table ch alkboard is the mini wooden table chalkboard, a fresh and immediate solution that is both trendy and functional, and representative of what is both a vintage and contemporary piece of furniture. Thanks to its small size, this mini table ch alkboard conveys a sense of warmth and familiarity and many possibilities for use: reserving a reservation, leaving small notices about the menu, the day's offerings or house specialties, welcoming customers with hospitable or kitchen-related phrases.

Table easel and plexiglass menu holder

An alternative to menu boards is the table easel A4 sheet holder, also made of wood, again for curated and sophisticated venues where the list changes frequently. Designed for tables of two, on either side of the display stand you can hang the menu, thus visible to both diners; for simple but curated and refined lists, a few ideas: the wine list, the dessert list, the cocktail list. A cheaper option is the A4 plexiglass menu holder, for which we suggest a few other ideas: off-menu items from restaurants; the wine list by the glass in a wine shop; gourmet pizzas from innovative or traditional pizzerias; the chef's suggestions on the fresh produce of the day; the lunch menu from trattorias offering fixed price; the cocktail of the day from cocktail bars or establishments offering theme nights.

Allyou have to do is choose on RGmania the table menu alternative that best suits your venue!
