Price list template

One engine, any kind of price list

A price list is a menu without food: a short list of things you do, each with a price and sometimes a duration. The same layout that organises a restaurant menu works for a hair salon, a cleaning service, a barber, a bike repair shop, a dog groomer or a photographer. The template above is a salon, but the sections and lines are just text. Paste your own services and the tool does the rest.

What to put on a service price list

• Service name. The words customers use, not shorthand only you understand.
• Price. A single price where you can; a “from” price or a range where it varies. Write “from 60” rather than leaving a blank.
• Time. A short note such as “About 45 minutes” helps people plan, and helps you protect your calendar.
• Conditions. Cancellation, deposits, travel charges and what is included belong in the footnote, once.

Group the list

Three to five groups are plenty. A salon might use Cuts, Colour and Treatments. A cleaner might use Homes, Offices and Extras. A repair shop might use Services, Parts and Callouts. Put the most requested group first.

Pricing honestly

Customers trust a price list more when the footnote says what changes the price. If long hair, a larger home or an older bike costs more, say so in a line. A price that surprises on the bill does more damage than an honest “from”.

Using the tool for non-food lists

The tool labels are written for menus, so in the “Restaurant name” box put your business name, and in the “Cuisine or style” box a short line such as “Price list, from March”. The dietary marks V, VG and GF are optional and appear only if you turn them on, so a price list can ignore them. Items with no price print as a plain line, which is useful for headings or notes.

Print or share

Choose US Letter or A4, print it for the counter, the window or the van, or save a PDF to attach to messages. Keep the original text; updating a price later is a thirty-second edit. If your prices change a lot, a separate hosted page is a different job, and this tool makes printed pages, not websites.
