# Table tent cards for restaurants and cafés

The table is the one place every guest looks while they wait. A tent card there sells the dessert, the feature or the happy hour without a server having to remember to mention it.

## What restaurants put on tent cards

The cards that pay for themselves ask for one small decision the guest is already close to making.

- Desserts and after-dinner drinks: Guests decide on dessert after the plates are cleared. A card with one photo and a price catches that moment.
- Features and seasonal items: Patio menu, a holiday special, the fish of the month. Choose items that last a season so the card does not go stale in a week.
- Happy hour and weekday offers: Times and days in large type. Lunch guests see the offer and come back after work.
- Wi-Fi and QR menus: Network name and password, or a QR code for the menu. See [QR code table tents](https://tent-cards.ca/uses/qr-code-table-tents/).
- Reviews and loyalty: A QR code to your review page or loyalty sign-up, with one line on why it matters to a small business.
- Catering and gift cards: The back face is a good place for what you sell beyond the meal.

## Making cards last on a busy table

Tent cards get knocked over, splashed and wiped. Put them on the side of the table away from the plates, against the wall or the condiment caddy. Fold a few extra at the start of each week and swap out any that are stained.

The 14pt matte card takes a quick wipe with a dry cloth. It is not laminated, so on patios plan on replacing cards more often. A [comparison with acrylic holders](https://tent-cards.ca/guides/tent-card-vs-acrylic-holder/) explains when a holder is worth it.

## Which size

[4 × 6.25″](https://tent-cards.ca/products/4x6-tent-cards/) suits most restaurant tables: it is narrow enough to sit next to the salt and pepper. Choose [5 × 5.5″](https://tent-cards.ca/products/5x5-tent-cards/) when the card carries a QR code with a few lines of text beside it.

## Example orders

Prices for printing one design, before tax and shipping.

- 250 cards at 4 × 6.25″: $330.50 ($1.32 each). One card per table for a 40-table room, with spares for a year
- 500 cards at 4 × 6.25″: $418.40 ($0.84 each). Two designs would be two runs of 250 instead
- 1,000 cards at 5 × 5.5″: $772.40 ($0.77 each). Five locations, 200 cards each, bundled in stacks of 50

Every design is its own run of at least 100. See the [full price list](https://tent-cards.ca/pricing/).

## Questions

**Should the two faces be the same?**

Not necessarily. Guests on each side of the table see a different face, so you can show dessert on one face and drinks on the other, or English on one and French on the other.

**How often should I change them?**

When the offer changes. Cards with long-lasting content (Wi-Fi, reviews, catering) can stay out for months; replace any that are stained.
