Using Chalkboard Menus at Your Restaurant


Chalkboards have been around since the 1950’s and were used in schools across the United States. Today, chalkboards are no longer installed in schools, but have become very popular in and outside of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores and other food service establishments. Schubert Equipment Sales can help you with the chalkboard sign that is right for you.

Determine the Use of Your Chalkboard Menu

  • Will the chalkboard menu be placed inside or outside of your food service establishment or retail business?
  • What size should your chalkboard menu be? (length x width – in inches)
  • Do you want any type of artwork and/or text pre-printed on your chalkboard menu or sign?
  • Do you want your chalkboard framed?
  • How many chalkboard menus or signs will you need?

Chalkboard menus are a unique way to add originality to your business. They are inexpensive, easy to read and unique in their ability to draw customers and promote sales.

Advertise on Your Chalkboard Menu

  • Tempt your regulars into trying something new by advertising daily specials.
  • Advertise events that your food service establishment or retail business is having during the day, the week or month.
  • Attempt to lure customers in off the street with dazzling and witty chalk-quote creations.

Regardless of the chalkboard menu you chose, customers and shoppers are guaranteed to receive a quality display. The menus and signs will also help to create interest in your food service establishment or retail business.
