Making Your Menus Last Longer

Your Superior menus have arrived! The extra care taken to hand-craft each menu cover in the USA was worth every penny; and you’ve made the perfect color choice. Now the question is how to make them look just as good a year from now as the day they came out of the box.

Our experts have a few suggestions to help keep your investment looking new, longer:

Ghastly Grease

Whether you’ve selected a moirĂ© or vinyl menu cover, nothing ages a menu more quickly than food stains. When they aren’t in circulation, keep your menus away from food service areas and avoid the tendency to rest them on the bar or countertop ~ invariably that’s just the moment there’s a spill!

Store Safely

Store your menus in a cool, dry place and away from direct sun. Bent corners and twisted pages can make a new menu look old in a matter of minutes. Consider one of Superior’s menu display racks, available in counter-top, wall-mount or floor stand models.

Clean Hands

Mom was right: Clean hands really are important! This is particularly true when handling menu covers. Just a bit of oil on your fingertips can stain fabric and smudge vinyl.

Caustic Cleaners

Should you have a spill, spot or stain on your vinyl menu cover, it’s best to simply wipe the menu cover with a damp cloth. Never use commercial cleaning products, as the chemicals may change the finish of your menu cover.

Take it Away!

Remove menus from the tables just as soon as your customer finishes their order. Want them to keep other items in mind? Give some thought to incorporating your menu into a format suitable for a table top display or menu roll stand.

Sticky (Little) Fingers

Kids happen! Superior is ready with a complete line of do-it-yourself children’s menus. Printed quickly and easily on your laser printer or photocopier, these handy kid's menus are economical for you and fun for them!

Thanks for the tips on keeping menus clean and making them last longer! My parents just opened a cafe in their hometown and I sent them a link to your blog. They really liked the tips and printed them out. They're keeping the list next to the stack of menus as a checklist of what to do and not to do.
Do you have any other ideas for a new business owner?
