The Overview
Giving Paper Menus Center Stage
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the restaurant industry, restaurants across the US underwent sudden and sweeping transformations, many becoming takeout-only establishments almost overnight. As restaurants reopen, it’s important for them to show dedication to sanitary practices and safety protocols like reduced occupancy, contactless payments and single-use, recyclable paper menus.

The Details
Three Unique Menus
We created the Paper Menu Playbook, a guide to menu design best practices for designers who serve the ever-evolving restaurant industry. The playbook includes application samples in the form of three menus, each printed on a different stock.
