Menu Design

Now that we have a logo... EMAIL it to CHEF! You can email it as an image file (if you made it in paint) or as a Word document (if you made it with MS Word).

Menu Creation
Our Student Run Restaurant needs a menu!

You must have 4 sections to your menu.
  • Appetizers or Soups
  • Salads
  • Entres or Main Courses
  • Desserts
Create 2 or 3 dishes for each menu section.

You must describe your dishes in ways that will be appetizing and make people to order this dish.
Think about it: Would you rather choose "Fried chicken strips with a dipping sauce"? Or would you prefer "Chicken strips with a seasoned batter fried to a crispy golden brown served with a healthy portion of tangy blue cheese dressing"?

WE WILL ADD LOGOS TO THE MENU LATER.
