Why Waterproof Menus Are Worth the Investment
Even though TerraSlate is not a restaurant, we understand the real-world costs that come with running a food service business. Everything from napkins to lighting eats into your margins. And sometimes, it is the small things—like your menus—that become big expenses over time.
If you are planning to open a restaurant or already run one, here is why waterproof menus should be part of your game plan from day one.
The Kid Factor
Children bring energy and fun to a dining experience, but they also bring chaos. Spills, sticky fingers, and food everywhere are just part of the deal. If your restaurant hosts birthday parties or family nights, then you already know the aftermath. Standard paper menus rarely survive a table full of toddlers. Waterproof menus, however, are built for this.
Everyday Accidents
No matter how upscale or casual your restaurant is, accidents happen. Drinks tip. Food falls. Cleaning spray flies further than expected. It is not just customers who cause this—your staff might accidentally damage menus during the lunch rush or a quick table reset. With standard paper or laminated menus, these slips can lead to constant reprinting. With waterproof menus, there is no problem. You just wipe them down and they are good as new.
The Bar Scene
If you run a bar, you already know that menus are one of the first casualties. Between condensation from glasses, spilled cocktails, food smudges, and general wear and tear, regular menus do not stand a chance. Patrons are often distracted, unsteady, or unaware of where they place their drinks. That means your menus take the hit. Waterproof menus stay sharp, clean, and professional, even after a busy night behind the bar.
Paint Nights and Craft Events
Restaurants and venues that host paint-and-sip nights or crafting classes know another kind of mess altogether. Think spilled paint water, glue, glitter, and everything in between. Standard paper menus do not hold up in creative environments. TerraSlate menus do.
How to Solve the Menu Damage Problem
At TerraSlate, we make waterproof menus that are built to last. Our menus are printed in full color, in any size or finish you need. Unlike laminated menus, they do not peel, bubble, or get ruined at the edges. They are waterproof through and through, and resistant to tearing, stains, and rough handling.
From casual cafés to upscale lounges, restaurants of every kind use our waterproof menus to save money and elevate their brand. Whether your style is bold, elegant, trendy, or minimal, we will help you create menus that match your vision and survive the realities of service.
