Hospitality Studies – designing price posters for a café

A PowerPoint designed for a lesson where students are to create 4 posters of menu items for their pop up café- hot drinks, cold beverages, sweet treats & savoury snacks

• The purposes of café signage – pictures included as discussion prompts
• Discussing what makes a good sign in a café
• Examples of menus (e.g. a smoothie shop with names like “Bananarama” and “Mango Mania”)
• Discussing colour schemes for the café and potential themes e.g. Australiana / black and white
• Time for students to create posters (some visual scaffolding is included on the slide to prompt students)

Resources designed for use in an 11 Hospitality Practices class in Australia (2019 curriculum). Unit 1: Introduction to Hospitality, Topic 2: Cafes, preparation and service of non-alcoholic beverages. My school has 70-minute lessons. The assessment at the end of this unit was running a pop up café. Students had to complete a planning booklet documenting their decisions in the lead up to the event.
