Food truck menu board: readable from the back of the line
A food truck menu is read from a few metres away, in a queue, in seconds. Fewer items, bigger type, prices that line up. Make it below and print it on Tabloid, or export a 1920 × 1080 image for a screen.
- Few items, grouped (Mains, Sides, Drinks)
- Short names, one-line descriptions at most
- Prices in one aligned column
- Size big enough for the window
Start with Start blank, add your sections, then pick a size in 3 Design. Read the guide ↓
Tap V, VG, GF or 🌶 to tag an item. Add a 2nd price for sizes (small / large) and name the columns under "Section note and price labels".
PNG with a transparent background looks best. It stays in this browser.

Nothing is uploaded: your menu is drawn and saved in this browser.

The Food truck bold design
Hazard yellow with huge condensed type, made for reading at a distance. It is a Pro design (preview free with a watermark). On the free plan, Modern minimal in one or two columns on Tabloid is the most readable choice.
Tips from how the layout works
- Menumoor shrinks the text to fit the page. If the prices get small, cut items or go up a size: that is the layout telling you the board is too busy.
- Use the Tagline for your one-line pitch and Opening hours for where you are this week.
- Add a QR code (free) that points to your Instagram or online order page so people in the line can look ahead.
Honest limits
Menumoor makes the file; it doesn't print vinyl or rigid boards (send the PDF to a print shop). The TV size, social sizes and the Food truck bold design need Pro ($6/month or $39/year). Free files carry a small Menumoor line.
Questions
What size should a food truck menu board be?
It depends on the window; Tabloid (11 × 17 in) is the largest print size in Menumoor and a common poster size. For a screen, use the 1920 × 1080 TV board size (Pro).
How many items should a food truck menu have?
As few as you can sell well; if the type gets small when the layout fits the page, the board has too much on it.

Yes, as a 1920 × 1080 PNG with Menumoor Pro.
