In the wake of Covid-19, restaurants are going to look very different. As restaurants begin to reopen, it is crucial for their owners to take every possible precaution in order to safely reopen and rebound their business. It will take flexibility, creativity, and a lot of effort, but we have some put together a guide to help your restaurant prepare to reopen and recover from the destruction caused by the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Disposable Menus<\/strong><\/span>
\nFirst and foremost, restaurants that are reopening their normal dine-in establishment will need to put their reusable menus aside and stock up on single-use disposable (and recyclable) menus. Not only will this method help stop the spread of the disease, it will put your customers at ease. The last thing you want your customers thinking while browsing your menu is \u201chas this been properly sanitized?\u201d
\nWhile the thought of purchasing a stockpile of disposable menus sounds financially daunting, it certainly doesn\u2019t have to be. For example, at PrintingCenterUSA you can order 5000 11\u201d x 17\u201d full color half fold menus for as little as 14\u00a2 each. The more you order, the cheaper the per-piece price will be. We offer trifold, bifold, z-fold, and other menu folding options, so you can get creative with the design. Multi-Page brochure booklets are also an affordable option if you have a larger menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to designing your menus, sometimes it\u2019s best to leave it to a professional and get it done quickly and correctly. However, if you want to design your menus yourself, we do offer free downloadable menu templates for Adobe\u00ae programs that guide you on safety, trim, margins, fold lines, and mailing panels.<\/p>\n

Mastering Delivery and Take-Out<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Apps such as DoorDash<\/a> and Uber Eats<\/a> were already increasing in popularity before the Covid-19 pandemic, and now exponentially more so. Not all customers are going to be comfortable going out to dine-in, and this fear is likely indefinite. To stay competitive, restaurants are adding take-out and delivery options to their services.
\nSomething you must keep in mind with offering these services is the portability of your menu items. Why? Because presentation matters. Negative reviews from customers about a delivery of a sloppy meal will quickly hurt your repeat business. Many restaurants are having to tweak their menu to include only the most portable items. Take-out menus are a great solution to keeping those customers that want to stay home informed about your delivery and take-out options. A trifold disposable menu can be easily slipped into a delivery bag.<\/p>\n
