Dynamic
Our system lets you make updates to your menu(s) instantly and repeatedly without having to update your QR code every time.

You can also control the scheduling of your menu(s), setting when they can be accessed by guests.

Customizable
Our custom solution includes adding your logo and brand colors to the QR code vehicle.

Easy to Implement
Once you have your QR code set up, make sure guests can easily access it by having it printed on branded signage, table tents, and more. We offer a variety of QR code delivery vehicles, from single-use coasters, to durable, fully sanitizable stickers and table tents printed on synthetic stock.

DESIGN

Your menu’s main job is marketing,
so look at it as an advertisement that your customers interact with. It has to be right.

Graphic Design for Maximum Impact

Cleveland Menu can take your concept and branding, apply our decades of experience crafting menus that work, and deliver a final product that creates a positive customer experience that supports your brand and helps make your business successful.

A menu is much more than just a list of available options arranged on a piece of paper. Yes, it exists to inform diners what is available, but is also there to highlight items that are popular, easy to create, and / or provide the most profit contribution. It exists to persuade customers to choose these items.

Cleveland Menu isn’t trying to replace your in-house graphic designer or agency but we can help you on your design and print projects. Because we understand the printing process, we know the factors that can drive costs up, and, more importantly, down. We understand graphic design, prepress, printing and binding operations so we suggest ways to enhance and improve your design projects.

Our in-house design team also offers the convenience of managing a single relationship for your project. We can work with your designer or agency from concept to delivery, delivering you value and on-time results.

Cleveland Menu can manage:

  • Complex design projects
  • 6-color process printing
  • Digital printing
  • UV printing
  • Printing and silk screening on a wide variety of materials and substrates

If your time is short and resources are limited, Cleveland Menu has designers that understand the printing process, think and communicate visually, and can create menus that deliver maximum impact.

From Concept to Final Product - Menus Are All We Do

Cleveland Menu has been designing and crafting menu covers for the hospitality industry since 1930. We are the only in-house printer and bindery that only designs and manufactures menus.

Your menu has a very important job. It sets the tone for the entire dining experience and communicates your brand’s personality, story, and promise. As soon as your customer feels a heavy leather menu cover, or a rustic wood menu cover, or a sleek metal menu cover, they will understand your brand story.

You want to be proud of the menu you hand to your customers and Cleveland Menu will help you design the perfect menu cover for your restaurant.

Formal menu covers communicate a high-end dining experience and are crafted with high-quality and elegant leather, metal and wood that cradle your menu paper to differentiate you from competitors and impress your customers.

Casual menu covers can be created with soft or hard covers with plastic pockets that hold your printed menu. Our casual menu covers are durable, good looking, and convey an informal and casual quality that your diners can appreciate.

Cleveland Menu doesn’t just offer “off the shelf” designs and products because we believe your menu cover should be as unique as your menu. We call it menucraft, and we’ve perfected it.

We can craft your custom menu covers to any size, any shape, and from any material you need. If you can conceive it, we can create it. We’d love to learn about your unique project so contact us today.

For Ultimate Corporate Online Menu Management, Use MenuMaker

If you have the need to create a menu template for your franchisees or individual locations to customize, but don’t have a Heidelberg printing press or bindery to manufacture them, Cleveland Menu offers our proprietary MenuMaker software.

MenuMaker allows multi-unit operators to post menus online that individual stores or franchise groups can use to create their specific menus.

When we receive a menu template from the corporate operator, our programmers make that template editable in HTML format so that individual stores or franchisees can change items and prices. MenuMaker then generates PDF proofs for review and allows them to be sent into print production. It is true online menu management!

Key benefits of MenuMaker:

  • Central online menu management for beverage mandates and corporate compliance
  • No waiting on manual proofs from a designer
  • Menus can be created 24 / 7 at your convenience
  • Automated email notifications letting menu approvers know that a menu has been submitted
  • Full integration with Cleveland Menu’s internal print production process; when a menu is approved by the restaurant it goes straight to production
  • The process is controlled by the user – it goes at your pace

For a demo of MenuMaker, and to learn if it is right for your business, contact us for a consultation!
