How to make a restaurant menu for free
Write the items, group them, price them, pick a design and size, print. The free menu maker below lays it out and fits it to the page for you; nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
- List items with prices (or paste your current menu)
- Group them into sections in the order people eat
- Add business details: address, phone, hours
- Pick a design, layout and paper size
- Download the PDF, print, add a QR code
Start with Paste items if you already have a menu in a document. Read the guide ↓
Tap V, VG, GF or 🌶 to tag an item. Add a 2nd price for sizes (small / large) and name the columns under "Section note and price labels".
PNG with a transparent background looks best. It stays in this browser.
Design
Nothing is uploaded: your menu is drawn and saved in this browser.
1. Items and prices
Type items in 1 Items, or paste a list into Paste items: Menumoor reads a name and a price per line. Choose how prices show: "12 or 12.50 (auto)" or "Always 12.00", and the currency.
2. Sections
Starters, Mains, Sides, Desserts, Drinks: the order guests decide in. Short descriptions under the dishes you most want to sell.
3. Business details
2 Business: name, tagline, address, phone, website or social, opening hours and a footer note (allergens, service charge).
4. Design, layout, size
In 3 Design: free designs Bistro, Modern minimal and Salon elegant (Diner, Tavern & bar, Café chalkboard and more are Pro); one, two or three columns or a tri-fold; US Letter, A4, Tabloid, Half letter or an A5 table tent. The text scales to fit the page.
5. Export and print
Download PDF for a print shop (300 dpi), Print at home, or PNG for social media. In 4 QR & web, make a QR code that points to your online menu.
Honest limits
Free keeps one saved menu (lunch and dinner menus need Pro or a JSON backup between them), uses three designs and adds a small Menumoor line to files. Pro is $6/month or $39/year; cancel any time.
