In the past, our sign shop worked with the friendly staff at Mike’s Deli in Los Angeles. At that time, we did floor decals and blade signs that impressed with their customized, brand-centric presentations. Because the owner liked what he saw, he called us back to handle the design, production, and installation of custom-designed restaurant menu boards in Los Angeles – this time for a pizzeria.
High-Quality Menu Boards Set the Tone for Guest Expectations
We collaborated with the client to create the types of menu boards that would be easy to read and provide an excellent brand presentation. These consist of quarter-inch-thick PVC with a matte finish print. The white color contrasts perfectly with the navy blue tones. At the bottom of the boards, you will notice the skyline that identifies the brand.
With the products finished, we went to the location and installed them with brushed aluminum standoffs. Our specialists ensured that the height of the three panels was identical. Moreover, we worked with the client to determine the best font for making the boards easy to read.
Which Type of Menu Board is Right for You?
Each restaurant is different. Because brand development is an integral aspect of an eatery’s success, the branding must be right on track. For the pizzeria, this translated into the display of PVC boards. However, your restaurant might have completely different needs.
For example, you could be better served with an indoor lightbox that features imprinted acrylic fronts. Many clients favor this design when they like the idea of adding images depicting their most popular dishes. Backlit with LEDs, the signs are easy to see and, therefore, typically situated at the fronts of the restaurants.
Another type of menu board is the plastic or metal board. Choose etched designs or pick a direct imprint. Other clients have selected imprinted vinyl overlays in sections to allow for the occasional change of products or prices. By the way, many restaurant owners are now starting to prepare menu boards for the outside.
You might opt for banners and stands, which are excellent choices for the typically rain-free SoCal neighborhoods. Besides that, consider A-frames for the daily special, and easels with boards for an abbreviated menu display.
Are You Thinking of Buying Custom Designed Restaurant Menu Boards in Los Angeles?
Where do you want to start with the project? If you have to keep a close eye on the budget, we recommend using sign foam, PVC, or plastic. These are budget-friendly materials that allow for excellent versatility. Moreover, they are great for displaying brand-centric corporate identities.
If you worry about someone defacing the product with graffiti, we recommend adding the VandalGuard laminate. It lets you clean up permanent marker and spray paint with ease, thereby protecting your investment in the signs. For menu boards you mount to the outside, it is a great option.
