[Menu Durability]
The design and production of your menu is largely influenced by the manner and environment in which it will be used. For instance, menus at a pool bar should have an Aqueous coating (or be waterproof), be easy to read in bright light, potentially have a U.V. coating or treatment to keep from fading, and be of a heavier weight to keep from blowing away. All menus should be easy to clean or replace. Far too many restaurant menus come with a side of what they guy before you had for dinner. Menu covers with too many cracks and crevices (like those el cheapo vinyl slip covers) are like a catchers mitt for food particles and grease. There is a cost/benefit analysis to run based on your operation to determine if it is better to invest in high quality materials that will have a long shelf life or to gear up for a rapid replacement of menus (or even disposable menus intended to last just one shift versus years).
