Menus, made like they used to be made.

Designed, printed, and bound for restaurants across the city.

Lou Bow Menus designs and prints menus, menu covers, dessert and special menus, and business cards, and we still visit your restaurant in person to get the details right before anything goes to print.

What we make

Print, built for the table.

Everything below is designed and produced in-house, sized and finished for how it will actually be used - held, flipped through, spilled on, and read across the room.

How a project runs

From your dining room to the printer.

Most projects move through four visits and drafts. We keep it simple so you're not chasing us for updates.

First

Onsite consultation

We come to your restaurant, walk the space, and talk through your menu, brand, and what needs to change.

Second

Design & proof

We draft layouts and covers, and send proofs for you to mark up until every price and dish is right. Proofs are full size and color-matched, so what you approve is exactly what comes off the press.

Third

Print & finish

Once approved, we print and finish - binding, laminating, or foil-stamping as the piece calls for.

Fourth

Delivery

We deliver to your restaurant and set up any hosted digital menu or ordering page alongside it.

A hosted digital menu, free with your print order.

When you have us design and print your menu, we also set up a free, mobile-friendly version of it online, a simple page customers can pull up on their phone. No separate website to build or maintain, and we keep it current whenever your printed menu changes.
