In fact, it can be used anywhere in the kitchen, even on unexpected elements, and combines perfectly with wood to create a sought-after industrial style. We offer a complete range of slate boards adapted to the specific needs of restaurants and food shops.

Why use a slate board in a restaurant kitchen?

In a demanding professional environment such as a restaurant, a kitchen slateboard is much more than just a decorative element. For a start, its flexibility is unrivalled. Unlike printed menus, it allows you to modify your offerings daily at no extra cost, ideal for presenting your suggestions of the day or adjusting your prices according to arrivals.

Secondly, the kitchen slate board adds an authentic touch that immediately appeals to your customers. Its traditional look evokes the craftsmanship and quality of your cooking, creating an emotional connection with your customers in an increasingly digitalized world.

What's more, this tool is an excellent vehicle for visual communication. Its dark surface makes chalk writing stand out naturally, catching customers' eyes as soon as they enter. This optimal visibility helps to highlight your specialities and promotions.

The practical benefits are also numerous:

• Erasable surface for quick updates between departments
• Durable materials suitable for the hospitality sector
• Compatible with chalk markers for neat, clean display
• Ecological and economical solution over the long term

Finally, the slate board offers remarkable versatility, adapting to any space, whether kitchen, dining room or storefront.

The different types of slate boards for professional kitchens

Foodservice professionals can choose from a wide range of slate boards adapted to their specific needs. Specially designed to withstand the intense pace of business, these communication media come in a variety of formats and styles.

Among the most popular options are wall-mounted slates, ideal for displaying full menus and capturing customers' attention as soon as they enter. For optimum display, choose a format of at least 60x80 cm for your complete menus. At the other end of the spectrum, mini-table slates (10x15 cm) are ideal for individual use, or to indicate table numbers.

Between these two extremes, portable slates with integrated handles offer remarkable flexibility. Lightweight and practical, they can be moved quickly from one space to another. Similarly, menu holders with a removable slate surface enable double-sided display and rapid modification.

When it comes to materials, there are several options to choose from:

• High-density melamine or expanded PVC for lightness and strength
• Treated solid wood for a touch of authenticity
• PVC laminated to medium

These boards are generally compatible with liquid chalk markers or traditional chalk, erasing with a simple wipe of a damp sponge without leaving residual marks. Some models, particularly those made in France, are even PEFC-certified, guaranteeing sustainable forest management.

So, whether you're looking for a support for your ephemeral suggestions, your fresh arrivals or your permanent menu, there's a kitchen slate board to suit your professional needs.

How to use a slate board to enhance the image of your establishment

Adding value to your establishment with a kitchen slate board requires a strategic approach that goes beyond simple display. Position it wisely to capture attention at the entrance or in waiting areas where customers have time to absorb the information.

Using chalk markers in different colors transforms your visual communication. These specially designed tools offer excellent adhesion and highlight important information, making your messages more attractive. For maximum impact, alternate fonts and writing sizes.

At the same time, personalizing your kitchen slate board considerably enhances your brand image. Personalized wall slates allow you to add your logo, slogan or any other distinctive element. Etal Shops offers models with a customizable header, providing a space dedicated to your establishment's identity.
