How to Make a Menu Board for Snow Cones
Snow cones are a sweet treat in the warmer months that can help customers stay cool on a warm day. The cone-shaped handle is filled with finely shaved ice and topped with flavored syrups to create a simple and delicious treat. If you set up a snow cone stand, you will want to offer a menu board to attract customers.

Purchase a dry erase board and board easel in coordinating sizes along with a variety of markers from an office supply store. The board should be large enough to accommodate all menu items. Dry erase boards are less expensive and easier to update than professionally manufactured menu boards.

Separate the board into two sections. On the left side write the different sizes of cones available along with their prices.

Place the menu board on the easel and place it next to the stand so customers can see it. If the weather is bad, place the board inside of the stand so that it can be viewed behind the server or through a window.

Tips & Warnings
Clean the board with a clean, dry cloth and dry erase board cleaner. Both items can be found at an office supply store.
Use colored markers to display the different flavors. For example, a red marker can stand for cherry, and a blue marker for blueberry.
