What Menus Should I Be Using To Deal With COVID-19?

• well, it is in government guidelines,
• easy to keep clean - just bin it after every customer uses it
• easy to get hold of - lots of grateful printers ready to help
• customers will see that it is a single-use
• hell, you can print them yourself 

• It may not suit your style - you could always upgrade the paper but then the costs quickly climb
• How many will I need? That’s tricky - who knows. Always cheaper to print more at once though
• Storage - you need to keep a pile of paper somewhere - clean and dry
• Trees! Yes, lots of trees. A lot of waste paper to be recycled or binned.

• They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth
• A bit more upmarket than a simple sheet of paper
• Lots of willing printers ready to make them for you
• You have them already?

• Wiping these clean with a damp cloth is going to get them soggy at the edges
• You will still have to buy quite a few to have enough to keep them clean.
• They look tatty quickly
• They cost more now that they are laminated

• More wipeable than a simple laminated menu. For a while, you can even put it in the sink.
• You can do-it-yourself. Buy the printer and laminating machine online or from your nearest stationery shop.
• Once you have the printer and the laminator it's not going to cost much, other than time.

• Glossy plastic menus? - you can do better
• They won’t last that long if you are washing them after every customer has used them
• Do you have the time? Aren’t there better things to be doing?

• A classy option. Some smart folders available at the MenuShop.co.uk
• Tough and synthetic can be easily kept clean. 
• Most have several pages to insert your printed menu.

• Quite an investment if you are not going to do this for the long term
• Wiping down the outside and the inside is going to take a while
• You still have to print the insides yourself

• Once they are up no customer needs to touch them
• You don’t need many 

• Do you have the wall space and the light?
• I suppose it is a bit fast food but with a good graphic designer you might just pull it off?

• Clean - nobody touches them other than the customer
• Flexible - you can change anything at a moments notice
• Data - gold in them there clicks!
• You have wifi anyway
• You can even get pre-ordering… imagine how the kitchen will perform now!
• check out our friends at https://hello.menu

• Pre-ordering really? Isn’t ordering part of the fun?
• Technology can fail and can be glitchy - how good is your WiFi?
• Considerable investment in setting up and ongoing maintenance… probably really only for chains or operations with geeks as part of the family.
• Nobody is ever going to leave their phone again

• Washable until they wear out
• Long-lasting

• Not a lot of plastic printers out there - at least not many that want to print a few menus - you are not going to get small quantities.
• plastic not to everyone's taste
• While waterproof, the ink is on the surface and so will scuff after some time

• We print as few as five simple menus
• Waterproof and washable. the print is protected by the wrapping
• Classy feel does not compare to typical plastic
• Can be washed daily, even after every customer use.
• Guaranteed not to go soggy or peel within a year

• They just don’t fold nicely
• Initial cost unit cost is very high but when compared with alternatives over time SuperTuffMenus show great value.
• Not everyone’s cup of tea - they are not suited to changing every week or month. For these to work for your operation they need to have 3 -4 months use.
