From concept to countertop - managaing Denny’s menus and merch

Background: Research showed that menu items without images didn’t sell as well as those with photos. However, to incorporate more imagery, we would have needed to expand the menu, which wasn't feasible due to budget constraints.

Solution: I streamlined copy across a very long, diverse menu—down to details like when to use "and" vs. "&"—and developed content guidelines for future use.

Results: This created consistency, provided more space for imagery, and reduced time and resource demands for product descriptions.

My role: Menus, server buttons, stanchions - you name it, if it's in stores, I managed it, overseeing the creative concept development, photo shoots, and print production of Denny's menus and merchandise.
