A SMALL RESOURCE WITH A PRACTICAL PURPOSE
A little help for
your next email.
MenuLetter is a free guide and toolkit for independent restaurants and small hospitality teams in the United States.
Who is responsible for this guide?
MenuLetter is the publisher and editorial owner of this site. The project is maintained by longcrawfish. We do not present a fictional expert author, claim restaurant operating credentials, or describe software as tested when we have only reviewed documentation. Contact the maintainer at contact@menuletter.com for corrections and questions.
What we make
A seven-step guide, eight original email templates, a browser-based draft generator, a selected US marketing calendar, a campaign calculator, and downloadable planning resources. You can read and download without registering or providing an email address.
The generator uses editable template rules. It does not call an AI service, send campaigns, or manage subscriber lists. Inputs remain in the current page’s memory until you copy or download them. Reloading or leaving clears your working draft.
How we maintain the content
We link material claims to official provider documentation or identifiable campaign archives, distinguish hypothetical examples from measured results, and show the actual review date. Software comparisons consider list size, sends, automation, integration, and cost. They are not independent deliverability benchmarks.
Guide and resource edition: October 23, 2026. Software, holiday dates, and source links were reviewed on that date. Future revisions should recheck those sources and explain material changes. Tell us the page and statement that needs attention; please do not email subscriber lists or sensitive customer information.
Independence and limitations
There are no affiliate links or paid platform placements in this edition. External services set their own prices and terms. Restaurant examples are editorial interpretations of archived campaigns; we did not send them or measure their outcomes. Our templates provide a starting point, not a legal compliance or inbox-placement guarantee.
