Burger menu template for a burger bar

Type your burgers with a price for a single and a double, then your add-ons, sides and shakes. The menu opens in the Burger bar look: black and mustard, a row of checks, section names on tabs.

How it works

  1. Type your place and your burgers.

    Example. A phone showing the step "What do you sell?" for Lwazi's Burger Bar: a line and its price being typed, and the menu beside them with the lines typed so far.

  2. Pick how it looks.

    Example. A phone showing the step "Pick how it looks": the menu for Lwazi's Burger Bar on the left and the same words in other looks on the right, one of them chosen.

  3. Change the colours, if you like.

    Example. A phone showing the same step with "More colours" open and another colour chosen: the menu for Lwazi's Burger Bar is in that colour.

  4. Share it on WhatsApp, or print it.

    Example. The finished menu for Lwazi's Burger Bar filling a phone screen, and the same picture printed on a page stuck to a wall.

The pictures show examples with made-up places and prices.

Run a weekly deal? Put it on a free page people can open.

Listing is free. Nothing goes on the page until you have checked it and published it.

We put weekly deals on a page, not whole menus: a special with its price and the days it runs. If you run one, you can send it to us, and where we can check the place is yours we set it up for you to check and publish.

To make sure it is really your place, we set it up with the email address your place shows publicly, on its website, Google or Facebook. If it shows no email, we phone the number it lists and ask you to confirm by email. A phone call alone is not enough. So we can only set up a page when we can check the place is yours from something it already shows publicly. If your place has nothing online yet, we cannot set one up from here, and the poster maker stays free to use. If you message us on WhatsApp, message from the number your place shows publicly.

Add your place name and an item to send them to us.

WhatsApp opens with your message ready, and the form opens filled in. Nothing is sent until you press send. See an example page

You get a picture to post, and a bigger one to print on a normal printer page (A4) or half a page (A5), not a Word file. Free, no account, and nothing is uploaded: the picture is made on your device.

What goes on a burger menu

1Burgers first, in the order you grill them
A burger menu reads in this order: burgers, then what can be added, then sides, then shakes and drinks, then anything for children. Beef usually leads, then chicken, then a veggie or fish patty. The picture keeps the order you type.
2Single and double on one line
Most burger bars sell every burger as a single or a double patty. Under All options, tick "Two prices on each line, like Small and Large" for the Burgers section and name the two prices Single and Double. Each burger then has two price boxes and the names stand above the columns.
3Say the weight if you sell by it
If your patty is 100g, 150g or 200g, put it in the name: "Classic beef burger, 150g". The same goes for "with chips" when chips come on the plate. Nobody at the counter then has to ask what the price covers.
4Add-ons in their own section
Bacon, cheese, an egg, a second patty, chips on the side: give them a section called "Add to any burger" with one price each. It keeps the burger names short and shows what an extra costs before the order is placed.
5What is in each burger
The form has a name and a price for each line, and no separate line for a description. Put what is in the burger in brackets after its name, such as "Cheeseburger (cheddar, pickles, sauce)", and keep it to a few words so the line does not wrap twice.
6The weekday burger special
Burger places often name a day: Burger Monday, or any two burgers at one price on a Friday. For that poster, open All options and choose Specials at the top, type the offer as one special, press Change the days and tap the day. On the menu itself, the box for where you are and when you are open can carry one short line about it.
7A photo of one burger
One burger, cut side or front on, in daylight, on a plain board or paper, fills the frame better than a table of food. The maker has room for one photo, set in a frame under your name. On a square, or with more than twenty items, the menu is drawn without it.
8Where the menu goes
The tall shape is for WhatsApp Status. Print the A4 page for the wall behind the counter or the window, and A5 for each table. A long menu prints better as two pictures, burgers on one and sides and drinks on the other.

Burger menu design ideas

Six ways one burger menu can look, from the pictures above. Each is drawn from how burger places here really post their boards and specials. Tap one to start from it.

Burger bar look, tall shape
Burger bar is black and mustard with a row of checks along the top and foot. Section names sit on rounded tabs and the two price columns, Single and Double, are in the mustard colour, so the eye lands on the numbers.
Menu board in black and orange, A4 to print
Menu board is the black board behind a counter: a double line round the edge, the name in the middle, section names over a rule. In black and orange it has a small flame under the name. Printed on A4 it goes above the till.
Chalkboard, tall shape
Chalkboard suits a burger bar that writes its board by hand. A thin chalk line runs under each burger, with its two prices on the right, and the section names are underlined in coloured chalk.
Burger bar look in red and yellow, square
The same look on a red ground with yellow tabs and prices, the colours of a roadhouse tray. A square holds this whole menu in two columns, for a post.
Slate in black and yellow, A5 to print
Slate is flat black with tilted yellow labels: the plain way many independent burger places post a special. A5 is half a printer page, the size for a table or the counter.
Kasi look in charcoal, A4 to print
Kasi in charcoal sets white names and pale yellow prices on a near-black ground, with tilted white tabs. It is a look to try when the menu is long.

A burger menu, step by step

The first picture comes from four sections. Burgers has five lines with two prices each, named Single and Double. "Add to any burger" has chips, bacon and extra cheese. Sides has onion rings, large chips and four wings, with the count in brackets. Drinks has a milkshake and a cold drink with its size in the name. The line at the foot says which day the two-burger special runs.

Tips

  1. Write "burger and chips" only when chips really come with it; otherwise list chips as an add-on.
  2. Keep the burger names to two or three words and let the brackets carry the fillings.
  3. If only some burgers come as a double, leave the second price box empty on the others.
  4. Count pieces in the name: "Wings (4)", "Onion rings (6)".
  5. When the Monday special ends, take its line off the foot of the menu and save a new picture.

Sizes and printing

Tall, for WhatsApp Status
Tall like a phone screen. Best for WhatsApp Status and for Stories.
Square, for a post
Square. Best for a post on Facebook or Instagram.
Printer page (A4)
A4 is the size of a normal printer page. Print it at home or at a print shop. A home printer leaves a thin white edge.
Half page (A5)
A5 is half of a normal printer page. Good for a counter. A home printer leaves a thin white edge.

Questions

Can I show a single and a double price for each burger?
Yes. Under All options, tick "Two prices on each line, like Small and Large" for that section and name the two prices Single and Double. A burger with only one size keeps its second box empty.
Can I list three sizes of burger or chips?
Not on one line. A line holds two prices. For a third size, add a line of its own, for example "Chips, family size", with its price.
Can I make a Burger Monday poster instead of a menu?
Yes. Open All options and choose Specials at the top, type the offer and its price as one special, press Change the days and tap Monday. The poster says the day in words.
Where do the toppings of each burger go?
In brackets after the name. The form has one line for each item and no separate description line, so a short list in brackets is the way to show what is in a burger.
Can I get the burger menu as a Word file to edit?
No. You get a picture to post and a bigger one to print. To change a price, come back to this page: what you typed is kept in this browser on this device, so you change the line and save again.

What you type is kept in this browser on this device until you clear your browser data, so you can come back, change a price and save a new picture. A photo and a logo are optional and are not kept for the next visit.

  • Takeaway menu on a blackboard with six sections: burgers, kotas, chicken, combos, chips and drinks, with two price columns where there are two sizesTakeaway menu

    Burgers beside kotas, chicken and combos fit the wider takeaway menu, six sections on a chalkboard.

  • Grill house menu as a black menu board with an orange double line round the edge: the name in white capitals in the middle with a small flame under it, four sections with orange section names over a rule, quarter and half prices in orangeGrill house menu

    Ribs, wings and flame-grilled chicken next to the burgers get a grill house board.

  • Pizza menu in the Pizza night look: a near-black ground with a red and cream check cloth along the top and foot, the words Pizza menu in yellow script, seven pizzas with medium and large prices in yellow, then toppings and sidesPizza menu

    A burger and pizza place can run two menus: the pizza one has medium and large columns.

  • Food truck menu in the Truck board look: a black board under a lime and white striped awning with scalloped ends, the name in white capitals, nine items in capitals with lime prices, and a lime strip along the foot saying where the truck stands on Saturday and SundayFood truck menu

    Flipping burgers from a hatch? The truck board is shorter, with a strip for where you park.
