Restaurant Menu Design Tips That Drive More Sales

Your menu isn’t just a list—it’s a marketing tool. A well-designed menu can subtly guide your customers toward high-margin items and improve their overall dining experience. Here’s how you can craft a smart, sales-boosting menu with RestoBoost’s digital platform.

Highlight Bestsellers and High-Profit Items

Use boxes, icons, or contrasting fonts to make your star dishes stand out. Most customers decide in the first 90 seconds.

Use Eye Scanning Patterns

Studies show customers read menus in a zig-zag pattern. Position your best items where the eyes naturally go—top-right corners or the center.

Keep Descriptions Short and Tempting

Enticing language sells. Swap “Chicken with rice” for “Tender grilled chicken served with aromatic jasmine rice.”

Limit Choices

Too many options can overwhelm. Stick to 6–8 items per section for optimal decision-making.

Add Mouthwatering Photos (Sparingly)

A few high-quality images are powerful—but avoid overcrowding. Use them strategically to draw attention.
