In hospitality, signage is part of the experience. The entrance sets expectations before anyone walks through the door, menus have to be clear and easy to change, and the interior has to feel as good as the food and drink.
We design, make and install signage for restaurants, bars, cafes, food halls, venues and leisure operators from our workshop in Greater Manchester, working with operators, interior designers and fit out teams across the UK.
What we provide for hospitality and leisure
- Entrance signs, illuminated lettering and neon
- Digital menu screens, menu boards and menu cases
- Canopy lettering, fascias and projecting signs
- Feature walls and bespoke pieces
- Order and collect, food hall and counter signage
- Wayfinding for venues and leisure sites
Designed around the venue
For Noshi in Nottingham, we worked with the client and interior designer Edwin to create an entrance of individually halo lit letters against a huge gold leaf “N”, with a matching centrepiece inside, all installed in two weeks, in good time for the grand opening.
Solving the practical problems
At Tattu’s restaurant in London’s Outernet building, an electrical feed to the entrance signs wasn’t feasible, so we designed a self sufficient illuminated sign powered by two rechargeable batteries, saving the client over £10,000 in mains connection work. At Factory International in Manchester we worked with wayfinding designers Placemarque on 11 rotating menu boards along a 23m bar, with graphics that can be changed within 48 hours.
Menus that keep up
Menus change by season, by day and by time of day. We supply commercial grade digital menu screens with content scheduling, built into bespoke housings in bronze, branded black or your own finish, and we have managed the move to digital menus at more than 10 Boost Juice Bars sites.
Out of hours installation
We work around service. Our teams install early mornings, late at night and on closing days, so your doors stay open.
