Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a cosy tea room in York, needed a more dynamic way to promote their popular cream teas and  daily baked goods without cluttering their small tables.

"We were constantly being asked what the scones of the day were. These little boards put the info right in front of the customer the moment they sit down. It’s simple, but it’s cleared up queues and  definitely boosted our add-on sales."

Robert Davies – Owner

The tea room reported a noticeable 20% increase in sales of daily specials within the first month of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply unfold the board and  stand it up in its A-frame position.
  • Place on any flat, stable surface like a table, bar, or countertop.
  • For best results, 'prime' the new surface by rubbing the side of a stick of chalk all over it, then wipe clean.
  • Write your message using either traditional chalk or liquid chalk markers.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For stubborn liquid chalk residue, use a dedicated chalkboard cleaning fluid.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the surface.
  • Fold flat and  store in a dry place to protect the MDF and  wood frame from moisture.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tabletop Display

Not sure which tabletop sign is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Size and  Space

Check your table dimensions. This mini folding menu board is perfect for small, intimate tables, but for larger bar areas, you might want a bigger sign to grab attention.

Message Frequency

How often will you change the message? Chalkboards are ideal for daily or even hourly changes. For fixed information, a permanent printed holder might be better.

Style and  Ambience

Match the display's material to your decor. The rustic wood and  black board finish on this Olympia FD957 menu board suits a huge range of styles, from modern to traditional.

Placement and  Visibility

Think about where customers will see it. An A-frame design like this folding table menu holder is simple, bold, and  easy to spot on a busy surface.

Ease of Cleaning

In a busy food environment, hygiene is key. A non-porous, wipe-clean surface is a must-have to keep your displays looking fresh with minimal effort from staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use liquid chalk pens on this board?

A: Absolutely. The surface is designed to work perfectly with both liquid chalk markers and  traditional stick chalk.

Q: Is the chalkboard surface on both sides?

A: No, this is a single-sided display. The message is written on the front-facing panel of the A-frame.

Q: How stable is it? Will it get knocked over easily on a busy table?

A: The A-frame design offers excellent stability and  a low centre of gravity, making it very resistant to being knocked over.

Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use on a pub patio?

A: It is best suited for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. It is made from MDF and  wood, so it should not be left out in the rain or overnight.

Q: How do I clean off stubborn liquid chalk marker stains?

A: A damp cloth is usually enough. For tougher marks, a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner or a dedicated chalkboard spray will restore it to new.

Q: Does it fold completely flat for storage?

A: Yes, this folding table menu holder is designed to fold almost completely flat, taking up minimal space in a drawer or cupboard.

Q: What is the actual writing area?

A: The writing area covers almost the entire front surface, giving you a space of approximately 250(H) x 150(W)mm to be creative with.

Q: Does the board have a 'grain' or is it perfectly smooth?

A: The MDF surface is very smooth, providing an excellent canvas for clear and  legible writing with chalk or pens.

Why a 'Primable' Chalkboard Surface Makes a Difference

Ever used a chalkboard that leaves behind a ghostly, smudged image of what you last wrote? That's what this Olympia board is designed to avoid. The smooth MDF surface is 'primable' – a simple, one-off trick that makes a huge difference to its lifespan and  appearance.

Think of it like seasoning a new frying pan. By rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the entire surface and  wiping it off before its first use, you fill in the microscopic pores. This prevents liquid chalk markers from 'sinking in' too deeply. The result? Your messages wipe away cleanly every time, leaving a crisp, solid black background ready for your next creation. It means your 'Soup of the Day' never has a faint shadow of yesterday's 'Victoria Sponge' lurking behind it, keeping your display looking sharp and  professional.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops: Ideal for displaying the cake of the day or special coffee blends right on the countertop.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: Use as a stylish restaurant tabletop menu board for wine specials or to mark reserved tables.
  • Pubs & Bars: A great, low-cost way to advertise the gin of the week or upcoming quiz nights on the bar.
  • Hotels & B&Bs: Perfect for labelling items on a breakfast buffet or displaying the Wi-Fi password at reception.
