Why did you choose the concept?

The purpose of menu card is to display items guests can enjoy at a restaurant.  There are many options in a menu card. In our menu card, we have included soups, salads, entrees, vegetables, and so on. All the items are presented along with prices. Guests can read the menu card without any ambiguity. The location and timings are mentioned. 

Why did you choose the design?

I decided to formulate restaurant menu using features of Microsoft word, rather than using templates. The reason is that I wanted to gain knowledge about menus by making them manually. There are different options when we formulate menus manually. We know we can make any desired changes. 

Why did you choose the format?

The format is selected because it is easier to read. The reader can know about each item and its price. The menu card provides details about any specific cuisines offered at a place or event. The customers get accurate description about any product, item offered at a restaurant. The menu card format includes the name of dishes, price, serving, size, and so on. This let the customers know what type of services are offered. To make a more realistic impression, there are pictures of food presented to our guests. This can be tempting to see image of dishes and easier to order. We presented image of dishes which are our specialty. 

How you determined the layout?

I determined the layout after watching menu cards of different restaurants. I have an idea about menu cards in restaurants because I visit restaurant more often. I decided to use images of favorite dishes to attract consumers to buy them.

What were the challenges you had?

It was a time consuming task. I had to select dishes, make a list of them, determine price, and so on. I was confused while selecting dishes, because there are many items which are very popular in USA but they are not part of our menu card. The reason of excluding such items is that we wanted to keep the menu card precise.

What did you learn from this?

It was an interesting task. I have learned that we can use features of Microsoft word to design menu cards for restaurants of our own choice. The way we presented items on menu can attract consumers. Setting price of items is difficult. We need to have competitive prices. The product description can appeal consumers to buy a dish. There are many designs we can use to make our menu card more appealing for customers.
