What type of prints work best for restaurant displays?

Metal prints are ideal for restaurant environments because they’re extremely durable and easy to maintain. In restaurants, artwork gets touched frequently—by staff, customers, and especially children—so you need a surface that can withstand contact and be easily wiped clean. The finish on metal prints lasts well over time even with regular cleaning. For more upscale venues like hotels, you might use high-gloss metal prints or even large chrome aluminum acrylics for premium spaces. Use QR codes on simple tags rather than physical card holders or brochures, as these create a cleaner, more upscale appearance and are easier for the establishment to maintain. The QR codes should link directly to your website where people can learn more and make purchases.
