Cafe & Restaurant Signage
Fitting out a café means signage in five or six places, and it's easier when it all comes from the same range: the sign outside that stops people, the menu behind the counter, prices on the cabinet, the restroom sign down the hall, and the hours on the door.
This collection brings all of it together — everything we make for hospitality, in the same materials and finishes, so a full fit-out reads as one considered system rather than pieces bought separately.
Every sign is supplied blank for your own decals and lettering, so the look stays yours.
Outside: getting people in
Sidewalk signs put your message on the footpath. The A-Frame Sign is the classic folding board; the Large Letter Sidewalk Sign includes 404 letter tiles for specials you rewrite daily; the Poster Sidewalk Signs take a printed A1 poster you can swap in seconds. All are powder-coated aluminum and arrive assembled.
Standing signs are the taller option, visible further down the street. The Large Standing Rectangle and Curve Signs have water-fillable bases, so they hold their ground without sandbags.
Wall and blade signs mark your building. The Round Sign and Circle Sign project from the wall so they read from along the street, and the Simple Light Box Sign illuminates for visibility after dark.
At the door: hours and status
The Opening Hours Sign displays your trading hours with magnetic numbers, including CLOSED and LATE. The Open / Closed Sign slides between the two and locks in place, so it won't flip when the door shuts. The Window Sign comes with 47 ready-made magnetic words for everything else — back soon, order online, sorry we're closed.
Behind the counter: menus
Rail systems mount as individual rails you space yourself, so they fit any wall. The Atelier Letter Board uses anodized aluminum letters in black or brass; the Magnetic Menu Board uses magnetic letters that go up faster; the Wooden Letter Board uses pine tiles for a warmer look.
Single-panel boards hang as one piece. The Menu Board uses card tiles in grooved rails; the Peg Letter Board has a grid that lets you centre, indent and column your layout; the Felt Letter Board is the softest option.
Hanging menu boards suspend from the ceiling, keeping the menu visible above a queue where a counter-level sign gets blocked. Available in portrait and landscape, with magnetic letters as an add-on, or as a frame for a printed A1 poster.
Menu displays in arch, curve, circle and rectangle shapes use the same magnetic letter system — pick the outline that suits your fit-out.
On the counter: prices and specials
Counter and pricing signs handle everything that changes daily. Pricing Signs are narrow strips for shelf edges and cabinet food; Counter Signs are larger, with magnetic letters or chalk; Card Counter Signs hold a handwritten business card. Tabletop Signs in arch, curve and rectangle shapes sit on the counter with changeable letters.
Wayfinding: restrooms and directions
Blade signs project from the wall, so they're visible from along a corridor rather than only once you're in front of them. Circle, half round, rectangle, square and vertical shapes, all double-sided folded aluminum, supplied blank for restroom symbols or room names.
Common questions
What signage does a café actually need?
At minimum: something outside to stop passing traffic, a menu customers can read while queuing, prices on anything in a cabinet, and a restroom sign. Beyond that it depends on your layout — a venue with outdoor seating wants table numbers, and anywhere with a queue benefits from a hanging menu above head height.
Which menu board should I choose?
It comes down to how often your menu changes and how much wall you're filling. Rail systems suit large or awkward walls, since you space the rails yourself. Single panels suit a defined area. Magnetic letters go up fastest; peg and slot systems can't be knocked out of alignment; a printed poster or handwritten roller is quickest of all if you'd rather not set letters at all.
Which signs can go outside?
Our aluminum signs — sidewalk signs, standing signs, blade signs and light boxes — are built for exterior use and won't rust, including in coastal conditions. Menu boards and counter signs are steel or have steel elements, so they're for indoor use or fully covered areas.
Do the signs come with our branding on them?
No. Everything arrives blank so you can apply your own decals, vinyl lettering or printed menus through a local signwriter. That way the whole fit-out matches your identity rather than ours.
Can I add to a fit-out later?
Yes. Everything in this collection shares the same materials and finish, so signage bought a year apart still looks like one system. Letter sets differ between products, though — magnetic, peg, rail and card letters aren't interchangeable, so check the letter type if you're matching an existing board.
