Chalkboard menus are extremely popular in the food service industry and tend to signify a relationship with organic foods. This connection is evident when you see the signage in stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joes, who position themselves as unique, fresh and, natural. These stores attract health conscious customers who are more amenable to pay slightly higher prices due to the perception of better quality and healthier options.
You will also have noticed chalkboard menus at farmers markets and family-owned restaurants, which reinforce the perception of natural and organic while providing a simple and uncluttered signage.
