Menu holder / Display stand

The A4 classic portrait format (21 x 29.7 cm) is the absolute standard in catering: large enough to clearly present the card with photos and descriptions, compact enough to be comfortably held in the customer's hand. For extended cards with several dishes per category, A4 landscape format or models with several sheets are preferable. For specific children's menus or dessert menus, the A5 format remains compact and economical.

Plexiglas is suitable for traditional restaurants and brasseries with frequent menu changes: easy to clean, removable window for quick changes, resistant to splashes and daily shocks. noble wood or leather is favored in premium gastronomy and bistronomy: rewarding elegance, high-end perception, justifies a high average ticket. The choice depends mainly on your positioning and your map updating frequency.

The daily cleaning depends on the material. Plexiglas can be cleaned with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild product (never alcohol or solvent which cracks the surface). The wood is dusted regularly and nourished with a wood product twice a year. Leather needs specific leather products and is sensitive to prolonged humidity. For HACCP compliance in catering, daily cleaning and disinfection protocols must be applied to all media in repeated contact with customers.

Yes, our exterior menu holders specifically designed for this use are treated against European bad weather: stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum structures, anti-UV protective plates which preserve the color of the card, seals for waterproof versions. Permanent outdoor lifespan is 5 to 8 years depending on exposure. Avoid using standard interior menu holders outdoors: deterioration is rapid (yellowing, cracking within a few months).

The classic rule is to provide 1 menu holder for 2-4 place settings for standard table service. For a restaurant with 40 seats, count on 15 to 20 menu holders depending on your service rotation. Systematically allow 10-20% reserve stock for one-off replacements (damaged, stained menu holder) and peaks in traffic. For wine lists, 4 to 8 copies well distributed throughout the room are sufficient for smooth service.

Yes, several of our menu holders can be personalized to your graphic charter: leather or imitation leather covers in the colors of the establishment, laser engraving of the restaurant name or logo, screen printing on plexi models. For restaurant chains and franchises, production according to precise specifications guarantees perfect consistency across all establishments. Allow 3 to 6 weeks of production for significant customizations.

The wall menu holder presents the fixed menu at reception or in the window, visible before entering the room. It informs the potential customer about the restaurant's overall offering and often determines the decision to enter. The table menu holder presents the detailed menu to each seated guest, in table service. The two are complementary in almost all restaurants: the wall for capture, the table for conversion into an order.

Yes, slate menu holders written in white or colored chalk bring an artisanal touch particularly appreciated in bistronomy, cocktail bars, gourmet cafés and trendy restaurants. Their flexibility is total: daily card change, suggestion of the moment, mood drawing, quote. The handwritten rendering attracts much more than standardized printing and creates a strong positive perception among young and urban customers.

For personalized menu holders (leather to your specifications, logo engraving, custom wood cover), allow 3 to 6 weeks of production.
