How to Create a Great Restaurant Slogan

Now that you have 101 restaurant slogans and tagline examples, it’s time to start making your own! Here are a few tips for figuring out what type of slogan you should make: 

1. Keep Your Tagline Short and Simple

Your slogan should be concise, catchy, and easy to understand. Ideally, it shouldn’t be longer than a sentence, with an ideal length being around five to eight words total. 

Take this advice, and try to make your own slogans for restaurants short and sweet. You can ask friends, family, and even customers, for their advice on whether the lines you create are memorable or not.

2. Make Sure It Matches Your Brand

Slogans for restaurants should typically match your brand voice and aesthetic, and align well with your mission statement. For example, if your restaurant branding communicates that your business values customer service, you could make slogans or restaurant taglines with a guarantee for quality and satisfaction.

You can also include key benefits of eating at your restaurant, like mentioning the sustainably caught fish you serve. Since sustainable fish is exposed to fewer chemicals than other fish, this lets the public know that you run a restaurant that values health.

A slogan can also include restaurant names to increase brand recognition. For example, McDonald’s previous famous slogans include “My Mcdonald’s”, “Did somebody say McDonald’s?”, and “There’s a little McDonald’s in everyone”.

Coming up with restaurant slogan ideas is definitely a challenge, but it can also be really fun! Try brainstorming what makes your restaurant marketing ideas different from your competitors. Perhaps it’s your unique menu, or maybe it’s your welcoming atmosphere that sets you apart. 

Since a slogan or tagline is typically the first impression for your guests, make sure it lasts in the minds of your customers and stays true to your restaurant’s mission. Be honest, and play with rhyming and puns to increase recognizability.

Most importantly, stay honest with yourself by finding a genuine way to highlight your restaurant’s value.
