A café menu template should separate core drink families, show sizes and modifiers consistently, keep food categories easy to scan, and make dietary information visible. The layout should help a customer decide before reaching the register.

- Coffee, tea, cold drinks, food
- Show consistently
- Sizes, extras, alternative milks
- Seasonal section
- Keep separate for easy replacement
- QR placement
- Before the ordering point
Suggested café outline
Café name and ordering note; espresso drinks; brewed coffee; tea; cold drinks; breakfast or bakery; lunch; extras and alternative milks; dietary legend; seasonal features; hours and contact details.
Handle size pricing clearly
Use the same size order in every applicable row and define cup volumes if local customers expect them. If an extra charge applies across categories, state it once in a prominent modifier section.
Make seasonal swaps simple
Design the seasonal block so it can change without reflowing the entire menu. After editing, export the complete menu and replace the version behind the permanent QR code.
Frequently asked questions
What should a café menu include?
Include drink categories, sizes, food, modifiers, dietary guidance, seasonal choices, and practical ordering information.
How many pages should a café menu be?
Use the fewest pages that remain readable. A dense one-page file is worse than two clear pages on a phone.
Can a café reuse one QR code all year?
Yes, if the code points to a managed link where the menu file can be replaced.
