Idea for Restaurant Menu Templates

I have a suggestion for improving the design templates for restaurant menus. Adobe could include vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free icons by default. Those little leaf/grain icons are universally recognized. Many restaurants would love to include this option, and it would be easier to have it as a default instead of creating them from scratch.

 

Here is one way it could be done:

-Include one menu item in each category.

-Put the corresponding icon next to those items.

-Have a legend in the corner saying what each icon means. 

 

Here are some examples of standard icons that can be used:

 

Adobe is uniquely positioned to help people with dietary restrictions identify suitable menu items. Not all restaurants include them, so making them more accessible through your default templates could help many people. Thanks in advance for considering this suggestion!

Hi Constance,

Content is user-driven. So, it may be a good idea for you to provide such icons of your own design.

I think most restaurants, especially chains get their icons from custom graphic design agencies.  An exception might be the universal safety symbols that are regulated by regional laws.

Yes, that is not a constraint to provide the icons here. Not every restaurant is hiring a designer. And with Creative Cloud Express, it may be easier to get a decent menu card.

 

This said, I'm still persuaded, that business owners should hire professionals to do their designs. At the end of the day, it will get cheaper.
