A wiki search of the word menu is amazing! Here is the historical origin for your custom menu board:
The word “menu”, like much of the terminology of cuisine, is French in origin. It ultimately derives from Latin “minutus”, something made small; in French, it came to be applied to a detailed list or résumé of any kind. The original menus that offered consumers choices were prepared on a small chalkboard, in French a carte; so foods chosen from a bill of fare are described as “à la carte”, “according to the board.”
I love that the first menus ever written are written on chalkboards. It seems like the chalkboards is the tool most used to convey your menu to potential patrons. The more eye catching, the more memorable. While some establishments use digital signage, hand drawn or written chalkboards make the most impact on eateries world wide.
