Menu design on a phone screen
High-margin signatures still belong near the top. Use photos sparingly but well. Avoid endless scrolling without clear section names.
Digital menus let you change section order faster than print ever could - update, watch what sells, adjust.
Fifteen practical tips
Lead with signatures. Keep section names obvious. Mark veg clearly. Price with clean typography. Limit choice overload. Put combos where value seekers look. Use honest photos. Keep load fast. Highlight chef specials without sticker chaos. Localise language carefully. Mirror how service actually runs. Test on small Android screens. Accessibility matters. Update seasonally. Train staff to narrate the digital menu.
