Make an Unforgettable First Impression with Custom Restaurant Signs
Opening a new restaurant is a major challenge, and memorable branding is essential. Having eye-catching, custom-branded signage that effectively communicates the personality of your brand is essential to the success of any restaurant—not to mention the compliance requirements that go along with opening a business in the first place.
At Highland Lakes Signs, we have a wealth of experience providing custom signage solutions for restaurants in Austin and throughout the state of Texas. From new local businesses to long-established franchises like Tropical Smoothie Cafe, our team has the design, permitting, and fabrication expertise to establish your restaurant’s footprint.
Restaurant Signage Offerings
Restaurants have a wide variety of signage needs. From interior directional signage to meet ADA requirements to vibrant branded signs communicating your brand with the world, here are some examples of what we offer:
Exterior Signs
Catch the eye of new customers with expertly designed and branded exterior restaurant signage. Depending on your property, our team can work with you to design a towering pylon sign, an attractive monument sign, or various other exterior signs using channel lettering and more.
We’ll work with the space you have to maximize new eyes on your brand!
Digital Menu Boards 
A menu board is more than just a list of what you sell—it’s yet another opportunity to establish the brand and personality of your restaurant. Our custom designed digital menu boards blend functionality with thoughtful design. And whether you have a layout in mind or you’re looking for advice, we’ll work with you to bring your menu board to life.
Interior & Directional Signage
Interior signage can further reinforce your branding, with logos, quotes, and catchphrases that communicate the personality you want to capture. These should be balanced with functional signs serving directional or wayfinding needs and helping your business to meet ADA and other regulatory requirements.
At Highland Lakes Signs, we’ll help you plan out the entire space of your restaurant, identifying all of your signage needs and creating a comprehensive rundown before starting the design process.
Austin’s Sign Permitting & Compliance Experts
The sign permitting process can be more complex than many new business owners realize. What’s more, like most businesses, restaurants must meet specific signage requirements to maintain compliance and acquire key business documentation such as occupancy permits.
Our team at Highland Lakes Signs takes care of all sign permitting and regulatory requirements for our customers. We understand the ins and outs of state, county, municipal, and local signage requirements throughout the areas we serve, and we employ a full-time expert to ensure all permits are acquired and all compliance requirements are met in plenty of time for your grand opening.

Have questions about our sign services? Review our FAQ or reach out below.
What kind of sign is best for a restaurant?
The right sign for any restaurant will depend on the property. However, restaurants will at minimum want illuminated exterior signage to ensure their business stands out at all hours.
What are the rules for restaurant signs?
The rules for restaurant signage depend on various regulations, including municipal building codes and the regulations of the area they’re in (such as design restrictions within strip malls, for instance). A sign expert will be able to help you navigate these requirements and create a design that will stand out while meeting these restrictions.
Do restaurants need ADA signage?
Yes, restaurants must fully comply with ADA signage requirements. This includes requirements for tactile interior signs, high-contrast designs, and restrictions on sign placement throughout the property.
