Fine Dining Restaurants Require Fine Dining Menu Covers

Any fine dining restaurant wants to coordinate every element of its experience with a consistent theme of quality and elegance, and that image requires fine dining menu covers. When the server hands a restaurant guest the menu, the restaurant never gets a second chance to make the best impression. The cover should be a excellent reflection of the level of quality contained by the menu items described inside.

There are a number of materials that can be selected for menu covers appropriate to upscale cuisine. These range from wood and padded leatherette to faux leather as well as genuine leather. Genuine leather menu covers may be the most expensive choice, but in the long run they are an excellent investment in the reputation of any fine dining restaurant.

Genuine leather menu covers are designed to remain soft and pliable despite daily use, will not suffer any splitting or cracking from repeated openings and closings, will not demonstrate any abrasions from frequent rubbing, and will not show wear at the corners or become dog-earred. Fine quality leather covers can be designed to hold one sheet, folded in half as a double page menu, or contain numerous pages as a menu booklet.

Special menu cover features include sewn edges and clear lamination pages to protect the inside menu pages from spills or soiling. A fine dining menu cover can be obtained in a color that matches the restaurant’s decor, as well as coordinated to match the wine list cover and the guest check cover for a uniform look. No matter what material the cover uses in its design, most can be personalized with an engraved or gold embossed restaurant name and/or logo to provide further distinction.

Before closing up for the night, all fine dining menu covers should be inspected for a quick cleaning if necessary by wiping off with a damp rag moistened with water or water and mild detergent to remove food stains before they set.
