«Tilleys Bistro», Bath. “I have found Menublackboard.com to be very useful to my business. In the past when customers rang up for menus, we would post them menus, which in itself isn't particularly laborious but it was time consuming. We then got our own website which helped a lot, and saved time. However it kept costing us a lot of money to keep getting our webmaster to change the menus, so, frequently our website was not up to date. The beauty of Menublackboard.com is that I can change or update any of my menus whenever I like. It is so easy to use. I change my lunch menu every 2 weeks and I reckon it takes me about 8 to 10 minutes to update it on the Menu Blackboard website. So any customers that ring for our current lunch menu are forwarded to this site, job done; no more posting mail or reciting the menu to customers over the phone. It’s easier for our customers too. This is especially useful with larger bookings and parties. Plus there is also a link from the Menu Blackboard site to our own website if customers want more information. I would highly recommend this website.”
Dave Mott, Proprietor/Head Chef
Welcome to Menu Blackboard, a professional site designed in partnership with the hospitality trade, to provide you with the most useful, updatable, affordable and powerful promotional tool available to advertise your pub, restaurant, hotel, café or takeaway to everyone in your area, and everywhere else too.

MENU BLACKBOARD FEATURES INCLUDE:
HOME PAGE
Promoting all of your information Each establishment (member) has an updatable colour homepage, allowing you to securely log in and quickly and easily add or update your information whenever you want, as often as you want. Your content is easy for visitors to view and quick to navigate.
PHOTOGRAPH(S)
At present you can display a main homepage photograph. Pictures speak volumes and with Menu Blackboard, a forthcoming feature will be an additional image gallery with up to six changeable images, with individual descriptive text. This will beideal for promoting different areas of your establishment, such as dining areas, garden, bedrooms, staff, or even snap shots of your ‘regulars’ or a wedding! – That will encourage them to have a look!
MENUS
Promote as many separate ‘quick to view’ menus as you like Create as many separate menu pages as you like – all at no additional cost. Examples: Sunday Lunch, Bar, Snack, Lunch, Evening, Specials, Children’s Menu, Breakfast, Wine List, Takeaway, Wedding, Conference, Special Offers etc. Plus why not promote your festive menus: Christmas, Valentines, Mother’s Day, Burns Night etc. It makes a lot of sense. An additional and useful feature allows you to instantly decide if you want a menu ‘live’ or not, ideal for saving festive menus in the background. Each menu has a clear link on your home-page, making it quick and easy for visitors to view.
PUBLIC SEARCHES
You are included in some great public searches
Main Search - The public can search by name (ideal for your regulars and recommendations!), type of establishment, type of cuisine, location, and waterside. Visitors can quickly navigate the site and find what they are looking for.
Accommodation Search - Search for a Hotel or Inn by area. We have a useful special feature which allows visitors to search by their room requirement(s), i.e., singles, twins, doubles or family, specifying how many of each they are looking for.
What’s On & Entertainment Search - Each establishment has their own useful Diary so the public can quickly view all of your forthcoming Events and Entertainment. Special Feature: Some event entries are automatically linked to our main Entertainment Search, including Live Music (Single or Duo artists), Bands, Karaoke, Quiz Nights, Sky (live sports), Party/Club and Dance, Barbecue, Singles Events. If it’s Entertainment they are after, the public can search via our new icon on the home-page, by date and any of the eight main entertainment searches above. We all know the cost of advertising entertainment! Usually, we have to rely on posters or a blackboard in the car park. At last, it’s quick and affordable to advertise your entertainment to a wider audience. This is very useful for your ‘regulars’ too. It only takes a few minutes to promote all of your monthly events and it’s included in the membership.
Sunday Lunch Search - This really does make sense and it’s worth joining just for this alone. Many pubs, restaurants and hotels spend money every week advertising their Sunday Lunch with a few lines of text in a local paper. Now you can be linked to our main Home-page Sunday Lunch Search, and visitors can see your whole Sunday Lunch Menu. Again, it’s all included.
Job Vacancies - Advertise your Bar, Kitchen, Management, Door, Cleaning and other Job Vacancies to locals and everyone else looking for full or part time work through menublackboard.com. This feature is very useful for you, and anyone who is looking for a full or part time job within the hospitality trade. You can advertise all of your job vacancies within minutes.
