Ever Notice Your Menu Covers?

Well, okay, they're not actually your menu covers, but they're the covers that keep the menus clean while you're reading them, deciding what you want to eat.

So, you don't notice them much. Well, that's good, at least you don't see anything wrong, you don't experience anything annoying or distracting.

Like you would if there were coffee and food stains all over the munus you're holding. That's something you would notice, and you wouldn't consider it a pleasant experience.

Menu Covers for Utility

That's what menu covers are for, to keep the munus clean. But, they are more than that. Menu covers must also be unobstrusive, pleasant to the touch, lightweight, out of the way so that they don't obstruct anything on the menu that the customer wants to read.

In other words, you aren't supposed to notice menu covers. You are just supposed to enjoy reading a nice clean, unobstructed, well laid out menu.

Menu covers shouldn't be made out of wood, they shouldn't snag your clothes, they shouldn't deliver paper cuts, they shouldn't be unbalanced, menu covers should be easy to hold and pleasant to touch.

But, that doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't notice menu covers. As long as your menu covers are doing what they are supposed to do unobtrusively, it doesn't mean they can't do something else as wel, something your customers might actually want to notice.

Menu Covers as Added Attraction

Like entertain them. Yes, menu covers can be entertaining.

Your menu covers might amuse your customers, or interest them, give them something to read while they wait for everyone to order.

In fact, your menu covers might even be so interesting that they offer your patrons something to talk about over their meal.

For example, they might contain little snippets of local history, places in town to visit, important people who may have lived in the area, technincal information, song lyrics, tasteful jokes, just about anything you might be able to imagine.

In fact, I remember a time when our table asked the waiter to leave the menus and we spent the whole meal and a pleasant half hour afterward in animated conversation over the delightfully humorous and thought provoking copy on the menu covers.

And that was the point. Those menu covers made our night out even more enjoyable than the great food and service at that restaurant would have provided alone.

A great dining experience was made even more enjoyable because of a simple thing like a menu cover.
