Layouts, headlines, sizes and where to hand them out, for the flyers restaurants make most.
A grand opening is the one moment when everyone nearby is curious about you at once. The people who live and work within a mile have watched the paper come off the windows and wondered what is going in. A grand opening flyer answers that question and gives them a date to show up.
An event flyer has to answer a question faster than any other kind: what is happening, and when. Trivia night, live music, a wine dinner or a holiday party all compete with everything else people could do that evening. If the date and the draw are not obvious in a glance, the flyer is a decoration.
A food truck has a problem a restaurant does not: nobody knows where you will be. A good food truck flyer solves that first. People love your food, but they cannot order it if they cannot find you, and a flyer that shows the week's stops turns a vague fan into a regular.
Happy hour lives or dies on one fact: the time window. People decide in seconds whether they can make it, so a flyer that buries the hours loses them. This is the flyer where the schedule and the prices should be the biggest things on the page.
A catering flyer is not read the way a diner flyer is. Its reader is usually an office manager, a school coordinator or someone planning a party, and that person is looking for a reason to trust you with a group. They want to know what you serve, how many it feeds, how far ahead to book and who to call.
Pizza is a repeat-order food, so a pizza flyer is less about introducing yourself and more about being the first number someone thinks of on a Friday night. It lives on a fridge, in a drawer or on a counter, which means a flyer that earns a spot there can keep working for months.
A bakery sells two different things: the daily case that people grab on the way to work, and the special orders that need planning. Each deserves its own flyer. The first builds a habit, and the second captures cakes, boxes and holiday trays that are worth far more per order.
A menu flyer is a menu that travels. It goes in the bag, onto the door and into the office drawer, and its job is different from a table menu. Nobody is browsing at leisure. They want to find a few dishes, see the price and call or order. If it does that fast, it stays on the fridge.
A coffee shop is a daily habit, so its flyers do a gentler kind of work. You are not asking for a big decision. You are asking someone to swap their usual stop for yours, or to add one more visit a week. That favors small, warm, repeatable pieces over loud sales messages.
