I have been creating our menus from the beginning using word, excel and paint. If you have more questions private message me. I have made digit menus, poster menus and hand out menus using these programs


I used to use Canvas, but it's no longer supported on a Mac.  Now I use InDesign, because we had a graphic designer set it up—  really, I just edit, which is a great way to learn the program.  

I've heard bad things about Publisher—  huge files, not a big user base so it's difficult for many to open the native files.

Create tastes unique to you, invite a few test subjects over to sample your ideas.

Type it up what you want it to say send to my print guy. He will design it for you

An experienced graphic designer to develop a clear message and format for your menu, like JPS Design Group

New menu should be based on creative approach of solving problems:

Hunger and craving something different 

Diabetics need Low GI great food

Celiacs need gluten free

Constipated customers need high fiber meals

Lazy people just want prepared food

Innovative new many unites everyone with special diateray needs!
