Wooden Menus: Tips for the Right Selection

Wooden menus are a real eye-catcher and give your restaurant a special atmosphere. However, there are some important points to consider when choosing the wood:

1. Style and type of wood

Choose a wood that matches your restaurant:

• Dark woods like Oak or Walnut appear elegant and luxurious.
• Light woods like Birch or Sycamore are modern and friendly.

2. Robustness and Weight

Menus are constantly exposed to stress. Harder woods like Beech or Oak are more durable and less prone to scratches. At the same time, the wood should be light enough to remain handy – thin solid wood or Plywood are ideal options.

3. Design: Engraving, Laser or Printing?

The wood must match the desired design:

• Print: Smooth, bright surfaces like Birch are perfect.
• Engraving or Laser: Hardwoods like Beech provide more precise results and reduce scorch marks. Test the process in advance to ensure clean results.

4. Easy to care for and hygienic

Sealed surfaces, such as Precious HDF laqcuered, protect the wood from moisture and make cleaning easier. Smooth structures are ideal for avoiding dirt.

Conclusion

The perfect wooden menu combines design and functionality. Whether printed, engraved, or laser-cut – the choice of wood significantly influences the result. Invest in quality and find a solution that ideally represents your restaurant.
