Printed Menus

Recently we brought back breakfast for one day a week to our BBQ concept in San Diego. We have not used printed menus (outside of total emergency cases) since switching over to Toast. We use Order & Pay and love it.

However, because our breakfast menu was so new we decided to print menus on the first day of our launch.

Guess what happened?

Our printer broke.

We ended up having to go to Staples to print 50 color, double sided, card stock menus.

Any guesses on cost?

$80 and it took them seven hours to complete the task.

The hard lesson learned was summed up in this TikTok video we made:

Staples has lost their mind!

Do you have any crazy printed menu stories?

I agree, its outrageous. I have been debating buying a plotter printer that can handle 24x36 prints. Honestly though, Digital signage and menus have been the cheapest form to do menus for me. You can pickup a Hisense Roku tv for under $250 and it will work right out of the box for digital signage with a USB drive. Only one TV has gone out and it lasted 4 years.

Do you find the codes to slow up your order taking time?
