How to create menu card in Canva for restaurants
0:02
Hey guys, welcome. In this video, I'm going to show you how you can create a professional
0:07
high quality food menu for your restaurant. So let's get into it
0:13
First of all, what you guys need to do is you're going to actually go to canva.com and you will land right here
0:18
Canva is an online designing tool that allows you to create logos
0:22
presentations, slideshows. You can edit your videos, create a resumes, and we can also create
0:29
invitations and menus with Canva. Today, I'll show you how I will create a restaurant menu using Canva
0:36
for free and then I will print it out. It's actually going to be really professional and you will be really
0:41
impressed by Canva. So let's get into it. You need an account on Canva
0:46
So if you do not have an account, you can create one with your email
0:50
address or you can use your Google account. So once you create your account, you will land right here
0:54
You will be able to see the main dashboard on Canva. So what we can do is we can actually go for a custom size here
1:02
So if you're looking to create a custom size for your menu, then you
1:06
can actually go to the custom size option here, click on create a design
1:09
and then you will hit custom size, enter the size, width and height of
1:13
your design and get started. But what we can do is we can click here in the search bar and search
1:18
for menu card, food menu card, restaurant menu card. So let's go with this one and it will show us different templates
1:26
available on Canva, high quality templates. And we have like 25,000 plus food menus here
1:33
So you can see we are getting the results. You can see all of them look really impressive
1:39
A menu that you see in a restaurant. Now, it totally depends on you what kind of restaurants you have
1:44
If you have like a five-star restaurant, you can actually go with a very simple menu without the pictures
1:51
If you have a fast food restaurant, then you can go for a picture menu
1:55
I actually have a fast food restaurant and I want to create a menu for that
1:59
So I'm looking for something similar to that. And I think this one right here is giving me a fast food menu, you know
2:07
vibe and you can see it's like black and yellow and we have some for pizzas. Again, you will be able to see all of these different menus and
2:15
choose the one that you feel like is the one that you were looking for. So I'm going to go with this one right here
2:21
You can see this one actually looks really good. It's a fast food menu that I can go for
2:26
So I'm going to click on customize template and we will get started. So here we have our template and now I will customize it completely
2:34
You can also start from scratch. It's actually going to be really easy. All you need to do is just have some images of the food that you have on
2:41
your restaurant and then you just need to set up the names. Make sure to actually create a list first and you will add the price of
2:48
your items. So the first thing that I'm going to do in this menu right here is change
2:53
the name. So it's called fast food menu here, but I'm going to change it to the
2:57
name for our restaurant. So it's called burger grill. Now I can change the font
3:03
It's a pretty simple font, but if I want to change it, then I can just click on the fonts right here and then choose another one
3:09
But this one actually goes with the whole, you know, theme of our menu
3:13
So I'm going to go with this one. Now the background image here is not the image from our, you know
3:20
restaurant. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the upload section here and in upload, we're going to upload the images from our computer that we took
3:27
You can also go to the elements here and search for an image if you want to
3:32
So this is going to be the image in the background. And now we have this color
3:37
So you can see this is actually an element that has been added already, which is this square and we can add it and we can also make it transparent
3:44
So in transparency, what I'm going to do is I'm going to make it less transparent so that our text is more prominent and we can make it like
3:51
more transparent accordingly, but I'm going to make it like a little more
3:56
So I'm going to adjust the transparency here and this is what it will look like. Now we can move on to the next part, which is going to be the menu here
4:04
We have this line here. If I want to change the color as well, according to my theme of the
4:08
restaurant, I can do that. In graphics here at this side in graphics, we are getting different
4:14
magic recommendations and you can see we have a lot of different things here
4:17
We have burgers and we have fries added. So if you want to add an image, you can add from here too
4:23
You can add a graphic instead of an image as well. So you can see right here
4:27
If you feel like your image matches with the burger that you have, you can
4:31
just use this from here. We have some fries added as well
4:35
We have different graphics. We have like tomatoes and everything so you can use the graphics too
4:40
Here in my menu, what I'm going to do is I'm going to zoom in a little bit to show you what's written here
4:45
So first of all, we have appetizers and snacks. We also have that
4:49
And here I'm going to of course change the name for different items that we
4:53
have in our restaurant. So we have French fries. We have chicken fingers, broccoli, cheddar soup, potato wedges, and chunky
5:00
onion rings. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to quickly go ahead and edit the text here. How to do that
5:04
You can just click here and you can, you know, simply remove and add your text
5:10
So once you have customized the different items, then what you're going to do is you're going to customize the price
5:14
So it's a simple text that has been added here and I can remove it
5:18
accordingly and I will be able to then adjust it. So we have the price here
5:23
We can adjust the price too, like so. For instance, the fish fingers that we have are actually $6
5:28
So I'm going to change the price. Then we have French fries for actually $5
5:33
And then we have this one for $6. We have these for $5 again
5:38
Potato wedges are actually $6. And then we have spicy onion rings that is for, is going to be, let's
5:45
say, $5. So you can see this is the price and the menu that we have
5:49
And the title is going to be similar, which is going to be appetizers and snacks
5:53
Moving on, we have these burgers and then we have burger toppings
5:57
Now, this is actually pretty good because I also have, I went with a
6:02
template that was also a burger, you know, restaurant so that I don't
6:06
have to do a lot here. I don't have to, you know, customize it. But of course, if you do not want the menu to match with others, then
6:14
you will change the colors. You can also change other things too. So here we have gourmet burgers and here we have some of the names
6:21
I will customize it and we will customize the pricing too. Moving on, we will customize the burger toppings here
6:26
Let's say I had something else here. I had, maybe I have a pizza restaurant
6:32
So what I will do is I can customize it and say pizza toppings. And here I will add the different toppings that we have and add the
6:38
names too. So this is how you will edit the text and then we have the images here
6:44
and then we have this, you know, circle here. This is a graphic that has been added and I can customize it completely
6:49
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the image. This is an image here. I'm going to change it to some of the other burgers that we have in our
6:56
restaurant and I will change it and I will also change the price. So here I have added the images from our restaurant and you can see now
7:03
the burger images have been added. So I will customize here this one
7:07
So here a text has been added a simple one. So this one is actually similar
7:12
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to just change the price here and then we have this one for let's say $9 and then we have this one for $11
7:19
So you will customize the price according to your menu. This is the one page menu that I created
7:24
Now what I can do is let me show you one more thing. If in the background you want to add an image, let's say I go to the
7:31
images here and I find an image. Let me find some images for a grill
7:37
Let's say so I'm going to go ahead and find the image
7:41
Okay, let's say this is an image here and I wanted to add in the background
7:45
So how I will do it is you can just drag the image and drop it right
7:49
here in the background and you can see this is what it will look like and I can also remove it from the background if I want to you can see
7:56
you can detach the image too. So if you want to make it more, you know aesthetically pleasing then
8:02
you can add an image in the background and then we have the color which is black
8:06
So you can select it and you can change the background color. Let's say I go with this color here and then I can actually make it
8:13
very lighter or I can go to a white color as well and change the text
8:18
color to black. That's what we can do as well. You can choose any color you will be able to see and then we have black
8:25
This is what it looks like. You can also, you know, customize the text again
8:30
You will be able to change the font here and you can upload images from your media to upload and then you can change the color that we
8:38
have in the elements too. So let's actually change the list. The theme for my restaurant is actually red and then we have the
8:44
other color. So what I can do is I can change the color to red
8:49
Let's do that. There you go. And it will completely change the whole menu look like this
8:56
You can see and I can just customize it. So this is how it looks like and you will customize a menu for your
9:03
restaurant this way. Similarly, once the menu is ready, you will click on share and now we
9:08
can download it as a PDF because we can print out our menus
9:13
So my menu is done. I'm going to click on download and the menu will be downloaded
9:17
I will print it out for my restaurant. I created this menu for free by myself and I didn't have to pay anyone
9:24
Saved money with Canva. You can also go ahead and explore more menus on Canva
9:29
You will be able to find different types of menus here. If you have a fancy place, you can go with a fancy menu
9:35
If you have a fast food restaurant, then you can go for that. If you have, let's say, an Indian food restaurant, then you can go for
9:41
such templates. So all of these templates are available more than 25,000
9:46
Select the template of your choice and get started or you can start from the scratch too to create a professional high-quality restaurant menu
