For food and hospitality.

New dishes, new promotions, new locations – and every time you need material for them. The art is to keep delivering something new and still be recognisable as one brand two years later.

Why it’s different

On the poster, it has to taste good.

Hospitality isn’t a project business, it’s a rhythm business. There’s never a point when everything is finished – there’s always the next motif.

A template doesn’t solve that. A summer dish needs different imagery from an opening promotion, and squeezing both into the same template looks like a canteen notice.

What it needs instead is a brand guideline with enough room to move: colours, typography, imagery and tone of voice set the frame within which every motif is free. That’s how I’ve worked for Sushi Circle and YO! Sushi for years – in parallel, without the two blurring together.

What I do for food and hospitality

Graphic design, website and ordering for food and hospitality.

Brand & Graphic Design

Posters, labels and point-of-sale material in step with your promotions – recognisable as one brand, as for Sushi Circle.

More on brand & graphic design

Web Design & Development

A restaurant website with menu, locations and opening hours that you keep up to date yourselves.

More on web design

Portals & Applications

Pre-ordering, reservations or an ordering area for corporate customers.

More on portals

Graphic design for hospitality means everyday work, not a campaign.

Point-of-sale material

I design posters, displays, window graphics and table cards – always for the view from three metres away, not for the screen.

Labels and mandatory information

Food labelling has its own requirements for legibility and completeness. They’re checked with every motif.

Menus

Designed and built so a new price doesn’t mean a new layout.

Brand guideline

The frame everything is created in. Without it, an ongoing collaboration eventually turns into patchwork.

Promotions and campaigns

Motifs for openings, seasonal dishes and holidays – from print to social formats.

Print handling

Final artwork and coordination with the printer included. The files go out finished.

Multiple locations

Branches may run their own promotions without the brand falling apart. That includes what must not be changed.

Website and delivery services

If you like, the website too, including the places where delivery platforms are integrated.

Example from the industry

Two brands, in parallel and distinct.

For Sushi Circle and YO! Sushi I design posters, flyers, labels and point-of-sale material on an ongoing basis – two brands with their own guidelines that, years later, you can still tell apart. How that works is in the case study.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

01

Review what exists

What’s already there, what works, what contradicts itself? In this industry there’s usually a lot of material.

02

Set the frame

Colours, typography, imagery, tone of voice – and explicitly where freedom remains. A frame that’s too tight gets ignored day to day.

03

First motifs

A few real cases from your everyday work played through. That shows whether the frame holds.

04

Keep it running

After that it runs in rhythm: request, draft, print files. Without starting from scratch every time.

Before you get in touch

Are we a good fit?

Good signs

  • ✓You need material on an ongoing basis, not a one-off identity.
  • ✓There’s someone on your side who bundles requests.
  • ✓You prefer a shared frame to complete freedom per branch.
  • ✓Print files should go out finished, including mandatory information.

Probably not

  • ×Motifs should come from a template without any back-and-forth.
  • ×Every branch should be free to design as it likes.
  • ×Your budget is fixed before it’s clear what you need it for.

The questions that come sooner or later

Answered in advance.

Who owns the site in the end?

You do. Domain, access and content run on your own accounts, and I build the site so someone else could take it over without untangling it first. That keeps you independent of me.

What if I’m not around?

You get all access details, the files and documentation someone else can read. Classes and structure are named so other developers can find their way around.

How long does it take?

That depends a lot on the scope – a website is on a different scale from a portal or an ongoing collaboration. You’ll get a reliable timeframe after our first conversation.

What does it cost?

One-page websitefrom €2,500
Multi-page websitefrom €5,000
Brand design for your companyfrom €3,500
Client portalfrom €10,000
Ongoing supportfrom €350 per month

I’ll give you the exact scope after our first conversation.
