Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a family-run tearoom in Bakewell, was struggling with handwritten chalkboard signs that became smudged and hard to read during their busy afternoon service. They needed a clearer, more permanent-looking solution that was still easy to update daily.
"The new letter boards have completely smartened up our counter. It takes me less than a minute to change the 'Scone of the Day' now, and everything looks so much tidier. Customers have even commented on how much clearer the menu is!"
Robert Evans – Owner
After implementation, they reported that service speed at the counter improved, as customers could make decisions faster without having to ask staff to clarify menu items.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, gently twist or snip the letters from their plastic frame (sprue).
- Simply align the single peg on the back of each letter with a hole on your peg board.
- Apply gentle, even pressure to push the letter securely into place until it's flush.
- For a professional look, lay out your words on a table first to check spelling and spacing.
Keeping It Going
- Store all your spare letters in a tackle box or a compartmentalised container to keep them organised.
- To clean, just wipe the letters with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges.
- Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as they could dull the plastic finish over time.
- Keep the letters away from direct, intense heat sources to prevent any warping.

Explore more from BeaumontWhy 390 Characters Makes All the Difference
You might see '390 characters' and think it's just a number, but it's actually a massive operational benefit. This isn't just one alphabet; it's a carefully considered collection with multiple copies of high-frequency letters (like vowels and common consonants) and essential symbols. Think of it like having a well-stocked pantry before you start cooking. You're never going to find yourself halfway through writing 'Mushroom Soup' only to discover you've run out of 'o's. It means you can write detailed, descriptive menus without compromise, ensuring you have enough characters for two or three boards, plus plenty of spares for when a letter inevitably goes astray during a busy shift.
