Exterior Restaurant Signs

The exterior sign of a restaurant often serves as the first interaction with potential customers. It needs to be eye-catching and reflective of the restaurant’s atmosphere. Durable materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or high-quality plastics are recommended, as these can withstand various weather conditions. Illuminated options, such as neon or LED lights, can ensure your restaurant stands out, even in low-light or nighttime conditions. Choose designs that align with your restaurant’s theme and branding. Remember, your exterior sign is essentially your restaurant’s first handshake with the public.

Menu Boards

Whether fast-casual or fine dining, a menu board is crucial for an efficient ordering process. The design should be clear, easy to read, and organized logically, perhaps by meal type or dietary options. High-contrast colors can enhance readability, and it’s advisable to use materials that are easy to clean. For dynamic pricing or frequently changing menu items, consider a digital menu board that can be easily updated. The menu board serves as a silent salesperson, influencing customer choices effectively.

Table Tents and Promo Signs

Table tents and small promotional signs on the tables can upsell menu items, promote daily specials, or provide information about loyalty programs. These should be visually appealing but not so large as to be obtrusive. Cardstock or laminated paper are commonly used materials that offer both affordability and durability. Make sure the text is large enough to be easily read, and the design complements the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. These miniature signs act as your on-table marketing agents, grabbing attention without being intrusive.

Restroom and Directional Signs

Navigational aids inside the restaurant, pointing the way to restrooms, exits, or different sections like the bar or patio, are essential for customer convenience. These should be clearly marked and consistently styled to match the restaurant’s theme. For accessibility, include Braille and tactile text. Place these signs at eye level and use high-contrast colors to make them easy to spot. Well-placed directional signs reduce customer anxiety and contribute to a seamless dining experience.

Compliance and Safety Signs

Every restaurant must display certain regulatory and safety signs, such as those marking exits, fire extinguishers, and handwashing stations. These are not just legal necessities but also contribute to customer and staff safety. Use durable and easy-to-clean materials. Also, these should be placed in highly visible locations and be designed to grab attention quickly, perhaps using bright colors or bold text. Properly displayed compliance signs not only fulfill legal requirements but also enhance the sense of security within the establishment.
