//MENU MAKER

Make a menu for your restaurant or café

Type your sections, items and prices in Arabic, English or both, pick one of twelve designs, and download a print-ready PDF in any size — A4, A5, an A3 poster, a folded trifold or a table tent — or images for Instagram and a TV board. As many pages as your menu needs.

Start from a sample menu, then make it yours

Everything below is editable: rename the sections, change the prices, add or remove items. Your menu is kept in this browser as you work.

Your menu

3 credits for this menu, then every edit and every file of it is free for 30 days in this browser.

What's in the ZIP
  • PDF for the print shop: CMYK, 3 mm bleed, crop and fold marks
  • PDF at the exact size for a home or office printer
  • Every page as a 300 dpi PNG
  • The menu's data, to open again and edit

Ready for the print shop

A CMYK PDF with 3 mm bleed, crop marks and, on the folded sizes, fold marks — every page in order, every letter an outline so no font goes missing — and a second PDF at the exact size for an office printer.

As many pages as the menu needs

A long menu gets more pages instead of tiny text, each section can start a page of its own, and the text is sized so every page is full and easy to read.

Arabic and English, set properly

Arabic and English names side by side with the price between them, or one under the other; Arabic letters joined correctly; prices in Arabic or Latin digits, with sizes in columns.

About Menu Maker

Confileo's Menu Maker tool turns a list of dishes and prices into a finished menu in twelve designs, in Arabic, English or both, on as many pages as it needs, and exports a CMYK print PDF with 3 mm bleed, a PDF for an office printer, page images, and an online menu that the menu's QR code opens. It is drawn in your browser without uploading a file, and a guest can start without signing up.

A small restaurant or café usually needs a new menu before it can pay a designer for one: a new dish, a new price, a second branch, Ramadan opening hours. The usual answers are a template that hundreds of places already use, a freelancer who charges again for every change, or a menu typed in a word processor that the print shop sends back.

The Menu Maker starts from the menu itself. You type the sections, the dishes and the prices, and it lays them out in one of twelve designs, from a kraft-paper coffee house and an oriental grill to a chalkboard bistro, a street-food poster and a fine-dining page, at the size you print or post: A4, A5, an A3 poster, a trifold, a table tent, an Instagram post or story, or a TV screen.

Arabic and English sit together the way bilingual menus in the region are read: the two names facing each other with the price between them, or one under the other, Arabic letters properly joined, prices in Arabic-Indic or Western digits and in the currency of the place, from the Egyptian pound to the Kuwaiti dinar. A long menu takes more pages rather than smaller text, and a section can start a page of its own.

The files are the ones a print shop asks for: a CMYK PDF with 3 mm bleed, crop and fold marks and every letter as an outline, next to a PDF at the exact page size for an office printer, a 300 dpi image of every page, and the menu's data to open and edit again later.

The QR code on the menu can open an online copy of it at confileo.com/m/…, with buttons to order on WhatsApp or call. When a price changes, the owner changes it once and presses Update; the printed code keeps working and shows the new menu.

How to use Menu Maker

  1. Start from one of six sample menus (café, grill, pizza, juices, sweets, burgers) or a blank one, and type your sections, dishes and prices. Add sizes with a price each, a short description and tags such as spicy, vegetarian or new.
  2. Pick one of the twelve designs and its colours, then the size: A4, A5, an A3 poster, a trifold, a table tent, an Instagram post or story, or a TV screen. Choose the currency and the digits, and add your logo, a photo and your WhatsApp, Instagram, address and opening hours.
  3. Download the files for the print shop and for your own printer, or publish the menu online: the QR code on the table opens it on the customer's phone, and a price you change later shows there without printing anything again.

Menu Maker — Frequently asked questions

Can a menu be in Arabic and English at the same time?

Yes. Every dish has an Arabic and an English name; they sit side by side with the price between them, or one under the other. The Arabic letters are joined by HarfBuzz, the shaping engine browsers use, prices can be written in Arabic-Indic or Western digits, and the page reads right to left or left to right depending on which language you put first.

What happens when my menu does not fit on one page?

With "As many pages as needed" the menu takes more pages instead of shrinking the text: up to 12 pages for the print sizes and 10 frames for the screen sizes. Sections stay whole where they fit, and any section can start on a page of its own. With "One page only" everything is fitted on one page at a smaller size, and the page tells you if something had to be left out.

Which file do I give the print shop?

print/menu-for-print-shop.pdf in the ZIP: CMYK colours, 3 mm of bleed with crop marks (and fold marks on the trifold and the table tent), the trim and bleed boxes set, every page in order and every letter turned into an outline, so no font can go missing. print/menu-home-printer.pdf is the exact page size, for printing at home or in an office at 100%.

What is the online menu?

A page for your menu at confileo.com/m/… that the QR code on your tables opens on a customer's phone, in your menu's colours and fonts, with buttons to order on WhatsApp, call you or find you on the map. When a price changes, you change it in the Menu Maker and press Update: the same address and the same printed code show the new menu. Publishing needs a free account, so only you can change or remove it, and an account holds up to five online menus.

How much does it cost?

Making and editing the menu is free and needs no account. Downloading costs 3 credits per menu (its business name); after that every edit and every file of the same menu is included for 30 days in the same browser. Publishing it online uses that same payment, and every update of the online menu afterwards is free.

Can I use my logo from the Logo Maker?

Yes. A logo made in the Logo Maker in the same browser shows up as an option, and its colours are offered as a colourway for the menu. You can also upload a logo as PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG, and a photo for the top of the menu.

Is my menu uploaded anywhere?

The menu is drawn in your browser and its files are made there. Nothing is uploaded unless you publish the menu online; then its text, prices, design choices and a Logo Maker logo are kept so the page can show them. A logo file or a photo you uploaded stays on your device.

Is this tool really free?

You can try it free: 50 credits without an account and 300 with a free account, renewed on the 1st of every month. Every tool uses credits — file tools 3 per file and the heavy ones 12. No watermark, no credit card. Beyond the monthly credits, Pro gives open use with no credits to count, or you can buy a credit pack.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can use the tool straight away without signing up or logging in.

Are my files safe and private?

Yes. A file sent to our servers travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is deleted automatically after processing; tools that work in your browser never upload it. We don't open, read or sell your files.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser, so it works the same on desktop, tablet and mobile with nothing to install.
