Menu design refers to the process of creating an organized, visually appealing layout for a menu, typically used in restaurants, cafes, or digital platforms offering food or services. Layout & Structure: Arranging items in a logical flow—usually by meal type (e.g., appetizers, mains, desserts)—with clear sections and categories.
Typography: Choosing readable fonts and appropriate font sizes to emphasize item names, descriptions, and prices without clutter.
Color Scheme: Using colors that align with the brand identity and stimulate appetite (e.g., red, orange, and earth tones in food menus).
Imagery: Including high-quality images or illustrations to showcase key dishes, if appropriate, while avoiding visual overload.
Hierarchy & Emphasis: Highlighting signature dishes, chef’s recommendations, or high-margin items through boxes, icons, or strategic placement.
