Cafe menu templates built around the drinks list

Order the coffee the way baristas think

Espresso, then milk drinks by strength, then filter, then cold. Guests scanning a coffee list are looking for a familiar landmark — usually cappuccino or flat white — and they navigate outwards from it. Alphabetical drinks lists slow everyone down.

Price options, do not duplicate drinks

A latte listed three times for three sizes makes a menu look twice as long as it is. One line with “+ ₹40 large, + ₹30 oat” reads faster and makes the upgrade feel small, which is exactly the point.

Let the brunch section end itself

• Set brunch to expire at your real cut-off time
• The section vanishes for guests — no crossing out, no awkward conversations
• It returns automatically the next morning

Photograph the food, not the coffee

Photos of a flat white all look the same, and a bad one makes good coffee look thin. Spend your photography on the bakes and brunch plates, which is also where the margin sits.

Keep the counter board and the table menu identical

The fastest way to annoy a queue is a board price that disagrees with the QR menu. Generating both from the same item list removes the possibility entirely — see the cafe menu guide for the full setup.
