This upcoming year-end peak season, let’s explore how these templates can help you!
Here’s a few of our favourite templates that you can use to showcase your year-end menu. Best of all, it’s print-ready, so you can share the news on social media and in real life.
Warm colours help make food look appetising, while bold font helps draw the eye to the text before it moves downward towards the food. A black background helps to make the colours of food pop. Accent colours can be picked from the existing colours of food, such as cheese or the bun. This can be used to highlight your year-end key menu item online and offline!

Drive engagement and interactivity with customers through a clean ad template that can be customised on the fly. Block colouring makes it easy for you to coordinate each Instagram story panel — simply utilise your brand colours to help recognisability! The panels also allow you to showcase different menus, such as signature dishes and seasonal dishes. Snap simple videos to get started!
Whet the appetite and curiosity of your clientele by providing an overview of the courses served for year-end dinner. A semi-opaque background for the text helps readability, while the ambient environment of your well-decorated restaurant gives customers a good idea of the relaxing environment they’ll be dining in. Later on, follow up with preview shots of the upcoming menu to drum up more interest!

Flex your creativity by modifying templates like these for other purposes, such as using them as in-store coupons. Use the elements to your advantage by incorporating text along the lines of ‘Share this story for a rebate’! This helps you drive more foot traffic to your physical store too. What’s more, this template conveniently allows input of address and contact numbers for ease of location.

Unleash the power of reviews and aesthetics by combining testimonials with photos of your tantalising menus. Good reviews go a long way in establishing trust — just remember to keep the reviews short and sweet! For extra engagement points, you can make it into a raffle or prize giveaway for selected reviews.

This or That? Yay or Nay? Promote two items from your restaurant while gauging general response towards those menu items. It helps you understand your customers. If it’s skewed overwhelmingly towards one item, you might have just found a bestseller, or it’s time to shake up the menu!
