Free menu maker

Design a menu, a cafe board or a recipe card in OpenTempl and export a print ready PDF with bleed and crop marks. No account, no watermark, and it works offline.

Start from a menu

The menus and food templates cover cafe boards, restaurant menus and recipe cards. Other styles work for a menu too: quiet luxury for a dinner, Nordic minimal for a coffee bar, seventies for a diner.

Make it yours

  1. Pick a template and a page size. A4 and A5 are common; type your own for a tall board.
  2. Edit the dishes and prices. Paste a table from a spreadsheet to build a chart or a list, or use bulk create for one page per item, such as a table card per dish.
  3. Set your brand colours and fonts with a brand kit.
  4. Add a QR code that links to your site or an online menu.
  5. Export the print PDF with bleed and crop marks, or a PNG for a screen.

What it does not do

OpenTempl is a design tool. It does not host a QR menu for you, take orders or print. You export the file and take it to a print shop or your own printer. It works in RGB; ask your printer about CMYK.
