                            Designing a menu for you coffee shop
                            A menu is more important than people often realise. The menu for your coffee shop is your advertising as soon as people are inside your shop. The menu has to be clear and your need to emphasize the right things.

                            Most menu's are often boring and not fun to look at. Your menu should look exciting and the menu needs to work with the rest of your coffee shop. A coffee shop that sells fruit juices and coffees might have two designs: one for the coffees with darker and brown colours, and one for the juices with bright light colours.

                            Coffee shops have the option to have menu's on tables as well. This works for some coffee shops but not for all. Menu's on tables might give the customer the idea that table service is available.
