A menu is a sales document that must withstand low light, a hungry reader, and a kitchen that can only execute a limited number of plates at a time. We write yours based on what you actually serve and how your sections are arranged.
Your pricing and dish list along with sourcing and allergen statements let us write you a menu copy that your designers can lay out and your servers can deliver, hassle free.
Be prepared with concise responses. Most items capture about eight to fourteen words. A few of the items you hope to sell warrant a little more explanation, but pretty much nothing gets an adjective. Section titles will maintain the language your clients use. Dietary indicators will be used consistently. Lastly, every line is crafted to fit your designer’s corner to the page.
Ask a model for a menu and you get dishes you don’t serve, with the same four adjectives to describe them. It cannot understand that there is one pastry person for your desserts, so it gives you eleven, writing past your column limit.
We need to know what’s in your dishes to construct a menu. Names of dishes can often prompt silly garnishes. We will need to see your prices and covers as well as last year’s menu. We also like to check out a couple of menus of rival restaurants.
You will get your design menu sectioned out and ready to go in the layout your designer can use. Your Character counts are noted if any line needs to be short. Plagiarism and detector reports are submitted for your reference. All sourcing and allergen claims need to be cleared by your food safety lead for printing.

Yes. Send two or three pieces you like the sound of, or your style guide. Matching an established voice is ordinary work for a writer and close to impossible for a model that has never read your back catalogue.
Yes. Tell us the volume and cadence and we keep the same writer on the account so the voice stays consistent. The rate does not change with volume.
Partially. We can create the framework for the section structure, headers and locked items. We can also add placeholders for the items that remain. Most builds in the kitchen require two or three changes of plates, so we usually wait for your final tasting before adding the final details.
Yes, They have different formatting. Wine lists are mostly organizational with a line of instruction for each section rather than tasting notes for each bottle. For cocktails, you need to state your base spirit first because that’s what guests look for. Throw your list and your pours my way.

Reviews from completed, paid orders in this category.
The descriptions were beautiful and about fifteen words too long for a one-page menu. I asked for them cut and got them back shorter and still good. Should have specified a character count. My fault, their patience.
The author noted in their original post that they had made the brine and that the salt amount in our notes was not correct for the volume, which it was not. They did a self correction and rightfully so, it is the bare minimum that writing about food gets right.
Bid teams require mandatory answers, word counts, and criteria outlined in the headings. That is what we were missing. Refran, we have that so much covered in our house style that my tone drained out and I had to liven it before submission. It cost an evening, but at least we didn’t miss a requirement like those teams.
