Making your takeout menu work
A takeout menu lives by the phone or in a kitchen drawer, so it needs everything someone ordering from home requires: the dishes, the prices, the hours and the number to call. Unlike a dine-in menu, nobody is there to answer questions.
What to write on it
- Every dish with its price, grouped the way people order.
- Opening hours and how long an order takes to be ready.
- The ordering phone number or website, repeated at the top and bottom.
One tip
Hand one out with every order. A takeout menu in the drawer is how a one-time order becomes a weekly one. Put a note on it when prices change, so old copies do not cause surprises.
