How to design a restaurant menu you can update anytime
Opening, refreshing, or just bumping prices — design a menu in Kyanbasu and keep every price and dish name as editable text. When the menu changes, you edit the words, not the whole design.
How it works
- Step 1Describe your menu style
Start a poster project: 'bistro dinner menu, warm and minimal'. AI drafts a structured layout with your sections.
- Step 2Add your sections and items
Starters, mains, desserts, drinks — each item and price is a native text layer you can click and edit.
- Step 3Drop in food photos (optional)
Upload dish photos and enhance them with AI, or keep it typography-led for a cleaner print result.
- Step 4Brand it
Apply your restaurant's colors, fonts, and logo from your Brand Kit. Save the project so price updates take seconds.
- Step 5Export for print and QR
Export a high-resolution PDF for your printer, plus a web-sized image for your QR-code menu.

The pain with menus isn't designing them — it's changing them. Because Kyanbasu keeps dish names and prices as live text layers, a price update is a two-click edit and a fresh export, not a redesign.

Frequently asked questions
Can I export print-ready PDF?
Yes. Export a high-resolution PDF in your page size, ready for your printer. PDF export costs 3 credits on the free plan and is free on paid plans.
Can I update prices later?
Yes — that's the point. Prices are editable text layers; open the saved project, change the number, export again.
Does it support multiple pages?
Yes. Add a page per menu section — food, drinks, desserts — and export them together.
Can I use my food photos?
Yes. Upload dish photos and use AI enhancement to improve lighting and color before placing them.
