The Art of the Book & Sewn Menu Covers
By Charlie. Filed in Business & Economy |
There are always a thousand details to pay attention to in the restaurant business. The pressure of day-to-day operations tends to take over everything, and the beginnings of the planning process, where ideas of a perfect atmosphere sometimes get put aside for later. But these can be every bit as important as any other aspect, and great attention should be paid to some of the basic elements. Some of these are not difficult, with magnificent touches like sewn menu covers , and attention to place setting, that can enhance and create as much atmosphere as anything else.
The sewn menu cover, in fact, is a touch that’s hard to top. It has an appeal that serves a very useful purpose, but it also speaks to antiquity. The art of bookmaking shows that sewing plays a very large part in the history of books. Today, a close look at a hardcover can reveal how the pages are put together, and the more precious books are sewn into place. Antique books will reveal this more easily, where one can observe the very careful handiwork that goes into the making of a valuable object. Adding this touch to the menu, then, does reference this object of antiquity, and demonstrates care and style that can immediately add another touch of class.
