The Inexact Science of Menu Board Design

As I put my thoughts together for this blog post, I can’t help but think that there are a number of other companies that can both relate to what I am going to write about as well as empathize with it. Up for discussion today, the cost associated with Menu Board Design. To put it simply, there is no easy way to charge for design. If you attach an hourly rate, it gets called in to question, if you combine it  with a particular display fixture, you may price yourself out.

In this blog we’re not going to hit you with hard stats and charts about where things are going from where they’ve been.  It is more subjective; through sales on our end, things we’ve read and thousands of conversations we’ve had.  So without further adieu, take a read of what we’ve seen and let us know if you agree.
