Frequently Asked Questions — Restaurants & Hospitality Printing
- How quickly can I get new menus printed?
- Standard menu turnaround is 2-3 business days for print-ready files. For urgent needs — seasonal menu launch, price correction, or a last-minute special — we offer 24-hour rush printing. Many restaurants keep a template on file with us for quick reprints.
- What menu materials hold up best in a restaurant environment?
- For dine-in menus, we recommend 100lb gloss or matte cover stock with aqueous coating — it resists food spills, grease, and daily handling. For premium feel, soft-touch lamination gives an upscale texture. Takeout menus use lighter 80lb text stock that folds flat and stacks easily.
- Can you design a menu for us or do we need to provide files?
- Both. Many restaurants bring their own designs from Canva or their branding agency, and we print from those files. We also offer in-house design services with designers who understand food photography placement, menu hierarchy, and restaurant branding conventions. Design fees start at $75/hour.
- What signage do you recommend for a new restaurant opening?
- For a grand opening, we typically recommend: window graphics with hours and branding, an A-frame sidewalk board with interchangeable inserts, a vinyl banner for the exterior, table tents or counter cards for specials, and business cards for the team. We can produce all of these as a coordinated package.
- Do you handle direct mail for restaurant promotions?
- Yes. We print postcards on heavy card stock and offer full mailing services including EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) for targeted neighborhoods. This is popular for grand openings, new seasonal menus, and catering service announcements. We handle printing, addressing, and USPS delivery.
