Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Corner Crumb Bakery" in York was looking to replace their inconsistent, handwritten daily menus. They wanted a solution that was both flexible for their ever-changing selection of breads and pastries and reflected their charming, traditional aesthetic.
"The Beaumont letters are brilliant. They look so much better than our old chalk signs and take seconds to change each morning. Our customers have even commented on how lovely and clear the boards look now."
David Chen – Owner
The switch has saved the team an estimated 2-3 hours a week previously spent on carefully writing and re-writing signs, allowing them to focus more on baking.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, carefully snap the letters and numbers from their plastic frames (sprues).
- We recommend organising the characters into a compartmentalised container for quick and easy access.
- Plan your message on a flat surface before pressing the characters into your peg board to avoid mistakes.
- Press each character in firmly until the peg is securely seated in the board's hole.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, simply wipe the letters with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.
- When not in use, store the spare letters in a dry, organised container to prevent loss.
- Periodically check that the small pegs on the back of the letters are intact and not bent.
- Make sure your peg board is kept clean and free of dust to ensure the white letters always stand out.

Explore more from BeaumontWhy a Peg System is Smarter Than You Think
You might wonder why, in a digital age, a simple peg system is still so popular. It's all about reliable, tactile simplicity. Each of these commercial menu board letters has a small peg on the back that fits snugly into the holes of a compatible board. This creates a secure, perfectly aligned message every single time. Think of it like LEGO for your menu – once a letter is in place, it’s not going to smudge like chalk or get wiped away by a stray sleeve like a whiteboard marker. It’s a completely foolproof way to get a neat, professional, and charmingly retro look that stays put until you decide to change it.
