DESIGN TIPS

How to design a Thai menu.

Four practical decisions that turn a list of dishes into a menu that drives orders.

TIP 01

Group dishes into clear categories

Split your Thai menu into recognizable sections such as starters, mains, sides, and desserts. Clear categories help guests scan quickly and reduce decision fatigue at the table.

TIP 02

Build pricing tiers, not flat lists

Mix entry-level dishes, mid-range crowd favorites, and a few premium specialties. Tiered pricing on a Thai menu lifts average ticket size and frames your signature plates as the obvious choice.

TIP 03

Invest in real photography

Authentic photos of your signature Thai dishes outperform stock images on every metric: time on page, scan-to-order, and repeat visits. Shoot a handful of bestsellers in natural light before launch.

TIP 04

Write descriptions that sell, not just list

Pair each dish with one short, sensory sentence. Mention key ingredients, cooking method, and origin where it matters. Bistro’s AI assistant can draft these for your whole Thai menu in minutes.
