Design an Easy-to-Update Printable Cannabis Dispensary Menu Template

We are looking for a graphic designer to create a polished, printable product menu for our cannabis retail shop. The finished menu will use standard US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 inches), designed to be folded in half to create a 5.5 × 8.5-inch booklet. Most importantly, we need a reusable template that our team can update regularly as products, prices, and availability change. Our team works with Microsoft 365—primarily Word and Excel—as well as Canva. The final design should be created in one or more of these tools and should not require professional design software for routine updates. Scope of work: Design a clear, attractive booklet-style menu that reflects our shop’s brand Organize products into easy-to-navigate categories Create a layout that accommodates product names, brands, sizes, prices, and other key details Make frequent edits simple for non-designers Set up proper page order, margins, folds, and print-safe areas Ensure the menu prints correctly on standard 8.5 × 11-inch paper, including double-sided printing Provide a print-ready PDF and fully editable source files Create simple instructions explaining how our team can update and export the menu Allow for a reasonable round of revisions after we test the template We are open to recommendations on the best workflow. Possible approaches include: A Canva template that our team edits directly A Microsoft Word template with well-structured, stable formatting An Excel-based product list feeding into Word or Canva, if practical A combination of these tools that balances design quality with ease of updating The template may need to support categories such as flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, edibles, beverages, and accessories. Product information and branding assets will be provided to the selected designer. Deliverables: Final approved menu design Editable template in Canva, Word, Excel, or an agreed combination Print-ready PDF Correct booklet page order for double-sided printing and folding Fonts, graphics, and other assets that we are licensed to reuse Brief written or recorded instructions for updating products and prices One completed menu populated with sample or current product information Ideal candidate: Experience designing restaurant, retail, dispensary, catalog, or price-list menus Strong knowledge of booklet layout and print production Experience creating editable templates for non-designers Proficiency with Canva and/or Microsoft Word and Excel Excellent attention to typography, spacing, readability, and information hierarchy Comfortable working with cannabis-related content and imagery Able to recommend a practical system for handling frequent menu changes When applying, please include: Examples of relevant menus, catalogs, price lists, or editable templates you have designed Which tool or workflow you recommend for this project and why How you would prevent formatting problems when our team adds or removes products Your estimated timeline and fixed-price quote What information and assets you would need from us to begin Our goal is a menu that feels professionally designed while remaining genuinely easy for our staff to maintain.
