The menu lookbook Vol. 01 · Autumn 2026

The menu lookbook.

16 looks · 8 palettes · 6 fonts

Sixteen looks for the place you actually run. Pick the one that fits, then recolour it, reset the type, and make it unmistakably yours.

Chapter one · the fitting

Which one is yours?

Three questions. We pull the three layouts that suit your place, on a real menu, not a mock-up.

Question 1 of 3

What do you serve?

Question 2 of 3

How are your photos?

Question 3 of 3

How long is the menu?

Your best fit

Shelves

Rows you swipe through, like a streaming app. Featured dishes lead, then one row per category.

Chapter two · the collection

Sixteen looks, one menu.

Every plate here is the same café and the same dishes. Only the layout changes.

Chapter three · the colourways

Then break it.

iii.

A wardrobe, not a uniform

Save up to thirty themes. Schedule one for Ramadan, Eid or National Day. It goes live on the date and steps back by itself.

Questions, answered

Which layout should I choose?

It depends on what you serve, how strong your photos are and how long the menu is. Photo-led layouts such as Bento, Shelves and Lookbook suit menus with good photography. Carte, Menu Board and Compact work without photos. Each layout shows who it is best for.

How many menu layouts does Yella Menu have?

Sixteen: Shelves, Lookbook, Bento, Carte, Menu Board, Type, Tabletop, Number Board, Pick Deck, Chapters, Menu book, Gallery, Grid, List, Compact and Story. Each one is built for a different kind of menu, and the library keeps growing.

Can I change the layout later?

Yes, any time. Your dishes, prices and photos stay as they are, and your colours and font carry over to the new layout. You see the result in the Studio before you publish.

Can I use a different design for Ramadan or National Day?

Yes. Save a design as a theme and schedule it with a start and end date. The menu shows it during that period, then returns to your everyday design by itself. You can save up to 30 themes.

Do the layouts work in Arabic and English?

Yes. Every layout is designed right-to-left for Arabic and left-to-right for English, and the guest switches language with one tap.
