After receiving customer complaints on how their previous menu had “too many choices and too much text,” IHOP completely redesigned the menu’s look.

The video below breaks down exactly how the restaurant chain’s redesign appeals to the visual cues of diners, from the addition of color-coded categories to an increase in vibrant photos.
