How to use the Restaurant Pin Maker

  1. 1

    Add a food photo

    Drop a picture of the dish you are pushing, a table spread or your dining room. Wide shots with one clear subject survive the crop across the top. A drawn plate shows the layout until you add one.

  2. 2

    Write the headline and rows

    Type the special or menu name, add the days and times in the sub line, then list up to six rows as Name | Price, for example Smash burger | $11. Start a line with # for a heading like # Drinks.

  3. 3

    Pick a theme and download

    Choose Chalkboard, Warm Bistro, Red Check or Modern White, set the button text, then download a 1000 x 1500 PNG and link the pin to that menu or offer page.

Diners decide from pictures. A close-up of the dish, the prices for tonight and one button that opens the menu does more in the feed than a text-only announcement, and people save pins like this to decide where to eat at the weekend.

This maker runs your photo across the top, then the headline, a short sub line with the days and times, up to six rows like House margarita | $8 with # section headings, and a button such as View the menu. Chalkboard, Warm Bistro, Red Check and Modern White set the mood. Photos stay in your browser, and the download is a 1000 x 1500 PNG.

Photos and rows that make people hungry

Shoot the hero dish close and in daylight, or show a spread that reads as a table you would want to sit at. Because the photo sits in a wide band across the top, favour shots that survive a landscape crop, and keep any words baked into the photo out of frame so the headline stays in charge.

Rows work best with the things people compare: the item and its price, a happy hour time, or what comes with the plate. Keep names to two or three words, group them with # Drinks and # Kitchen, and stop at six so every price stays readable on a phone.

Linking to the menu page

Send the pin to the page that shows this offer: the happy hour menu, the specials page or your reservations link, rather than the homepage. Button text should match the page, such as View the menu, Order online or Reserve a table, so nobody has to hunt after tapping.

Tag the link with the UTM builder to see which pins bring orders and covers, and put the dish name and your city in the pin title, since local searches are how most people find a new place.

Refreshing specials with the seasons

Specials have a shelf life: game day spreads in February, patio happy hours in summer, cosy prix fixe in winter and the holiday menus in between. Publish the pin a couple of weeks before the season starts and refresh the rows when the menu changes.

When a special ends, archive the pin or repoint it at your current menu so nobody taps through to a price you no longer honour. A full list of dishes can live on a price list pin, while this one stays focused on a single offer.

Restaurant Pin Maker FAQ

How do I make a restaurant pin for Pinterest?

Add a photo of the dish or room, type the headline and the days or times, list up to six rows as Name | Price, pick a theme and download the PNG. Create the pin with a link to your menu or booking page.

How many items should a restaurant pin show?

Up to six rows. Happy hour deals, a short lunch menu or a weekend special all fit; a full menu does not, so link through to it or split it across pins by section.

What photo should I use?

The dish you want to sell, shot close in daylight, or a table spread that shows the atmosphere. Avoid photos that already carry text or prices, because the pin has to say that itself.

Should prices go on the pin?

If they are public on your site, yes. Prices and times are what people scan for, and they set expectations before the tap. For menus that change often, link to the page you keep current and update the pin when prices move.

Is the restaurant pin maker free?

Yes. No account, no watermark and no download limit. Your photos are processed in the browser and never uploaded to a server.
