The Return of the Analog Menu

The Return of the Analog Menu

Restaurants are embracing handmade design to counter the rise of AI-generated marketing.

A growing number of dining establishments are rejecting artificial intelligence in favour of a more human touch. As consumers push back against the proliferation of AI-generated flyers and food photography, the industry is seeing a shift toward bespoke, tactile elements.

According to a report by Eater, this movement toward the analog is being viewed as a radical choice in a digital age. By prioritising handmade aesthetics, restaurants aim to build more authentic connections with their customers.
