Whether you're creating a menu for your sports bar, a wine list for your James Beard award-winning farm to table restaurant, or a mixed drink menu for your dive bar, BeerMenus is the fastest way to create drink menus.
Whenever you need to update your menu, there's no faster tool out there:
With BeerMenus, your beer, wine, and spirits descriptions will automatically be included in your menu (i.e. you don't have to search for them online).
Example menu templates
How does it work?
Step 1: Create an account on BeerMenus.com:
Step 2: Select your menu template (or schedule a call with a designer to create a custom template for no additional charge)
Step 3: Add your menu items
Step 4: Tweak your menu settings and print!
Step 5: Whenever your menu changes, just update on your BeerMenus.com page and re-print.
How much time will I really save?
A bunch, and you'll save it both up-front and every time you update your menu.
Up-front time savings
If you're making a new menu, you'll save a ton of time up front, because as you build your menu from scratch all product descriptions will automatically be included. If you have 50 items, you'll easily save more than an hour immediately.
You also save time (and, likely, money) on design. With BeerMenus you get a plug a play, professionally designed menu theme right out of the box: just plug your menu items in—design's already taken care of.
Additionally, if you'd like to customize your menu further, you can take advantage of our professional graphic design team. They can create a totally custom menu for you in less than 1 business day.
Ongoing time savings
The most impactful time savings you get comes when you need to update your menu: when you tap a new keg or add a new spirit, you never have to search for a description again—it will automatically be included on your menu.
In other words, no more Google searching for descriptions, ABV, etc. All that information is automatically included.
OK, but why do I need to include a description for all my products? I didn't before.
Research has shown that including product descriptions leads to increased average check size. Most notably there's this study from The Association for Consumer Research, which shows that including product descriptions can increase check size by 27% vs. not including descriptions.
It also just logically makes sense: you wouldn't skip including descriptions for your food—you know the descriptions are helpful for customers. So why would you leave off descriptions of your beers or drinks?
Do a lot of businesses use BeerMenus?
Yes, BeerMenus has been around for over a decade, and thousands of businesses across the US (and world) use BeerMenus to create and update their bar menus.
Is BeerMenus just for bar menus?
Nope. You can use BeerMenus to create restaurant menus, food menus, cocktail menus, and more. Here's a food menu recently created with BeerMenus:
You're also able to create different menu profiles for your different menus.
For example if you're a Mexican restaurant you could create separate profiles for your margaritas and your tequilas and Mezcals, like this:
You can follow the same theory for other menus. For example, if you're going for a speakeasy style, you can break out your classic cocktails to a separate list or even have a whole menu dedicated to your different takes on Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, or Negronis.
In short, this tool can be your whole menu solution, not just a way to showcase your bar drinks.
How customizable are the menus?
Our drink menu designs are very customizable. You can include your logo, your fonts, social media information, happy hour specials, and more. Here are a few custom menus folks recently made:
Does BeerMenus make other menus? Or just Print Menus?
