Shelley W.

Just joined ABN connected

Menu designer · Bondi Junction NSW · 7+ yrs

Hi hello, it’s Shelley! I’m a freelance designer with 7+ years experience across graphic design, web design and art direction – I currently help digital-native brands in the fashion, beauty and lifestyle space transform their strategy into considered, human-centred design. As a generalist at heart, I naturally sit at the intersection of research, strategy and craft. I deeply believe that design is fundamentally about communication and problem solving, so I personally love diving into data on why something is (or isn’t) working, whilst still appreciating the creativity and visual design.

Menu designer in Sydney, questions

Typesetting your dishes and prices into a layout that reads well, in your brand, built to the size and format you are printing or displaying. A typical gig includes one concept, a round of changes and final files. You should get a print-ready PDF, a digital version for your site and socials, and the source file so prices can be updated later.

Readability in low light, and a structure that guides the eye. Dishes grouped clearly, prices set without leader dots trailing across the page, and enough contrast to read in a dim room. Good menus also use position deliberately, since the top of a section and the area a reader lands on first get the most attention. That is where the dishes you want to sell belong.

Usually 3 to 7 days once the final dish list and prices are locked. A larger set covering food, drinks, specials and a takeaway version runs 1 to 2 weeks. Have the wording finalised first, since menus change more than most documents and each price round trip adds time.

Ask for the source file, and ask the designer to build it so text can be edited without the layout collapsing. For venues changing specials weekly, a template you can update yourself is worth paying a little more for up front. Agree at the start whether small price updates are included or quoted separately.

Both, in most cases. A printed menu is still the in-venue experience, while a digital version (a clean PDF or a web page, not a photo of the print file) is what people check before they book. Ask for both in the same gig, since designing them together costs less than adapting later.

A print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks for your printer, a lightweight PDF or image set for web and socials, and the editable source file with fonts packaged. If you use a laminated or A-frame format, confirm the sizes with your printer before design starts.

In Sydney, a single-page food or drinks menu from existing brand files typically runs $300 to $800. A full set covering food, drinks, specials and a takeaway version more commonly lands at $1,000 to $2,500. A menu designed alongside new branding for a venue opening sits higher. Printing and lamination are separate.

The range on this page runs from about $69 to $188 an hour. Nearer $69 is a junior designer, the middle of the band covers most gigs (an experienced designer working solo), and the top of the band is a design lead. For a straightforward reprint with updated prices, the lower end is usually fine.

Look for hospitality work in their portfolio and, if you can, see a menu of theirs in a venue rather than on screen. Ask how they build for price updates. A designer who asks about your lighting, your service style and which dishes you want to push is thinking about the right things.

Post a menu design gig in 60 seconds. Describe the work, set your budget and timeframe, and choose whether it is time-based or outcome-based. Local freelancers send a bid with a quote, you compare their profiles, portfolios and reviews, then pick the one that fits. Posting is free, so you only pay for the work.

Every gig runs on a payment schedule you both agree on up front, and every payment is held securely through Stripe. On an outcome-based gig you fund each stage before the work starts and it is released once you sign off. On a time-based gig you are charged for each month as it starts, and it is released to your freelancer once that month has been worked. No chasing invoices, and no paying for work that is not done.
