How to name your restaurant

  1. Let the name set the price

    Diners judge price and style from the name before they see the menu. A surname or a single word (Hart, Ember) reads upmarket; a playful name reads casual. Choose the one that matches your menu prices.

  2. Say it out loud

    If you have to spell your name twice on the phone, people won’t find you when they search. Pick a name that’s easy to say, spell and remember after hearing it once.

  3. Check it’s free

    Search Google Maps, your business register and trademark database, the domain and the social handles before you commit. Another restaurant nearby with a similar name will cost you customers and could cost you the name.

  4. Leave room to grow

    A name tied to one product, one street or one service can feel tight later. If you plan to add services or open more locations, choose a name that can stretch with you.

  5. See it as a logo

    A name looks different on a sign than in a notes app. Tap any name on this page to see it drawn as a restaurant logo, in colour, before you decide.

Questions

How do I choose a name for my restaurant?

Start with how you want customers to feel, then pick a style: upmarket and refined, casual and modern, playful or family and heritage. Shortlist five names, say them out loud, check the domain and social handles, then see each one as a logo. The one that still looks right on a sign usually wins.

What’s a good name for a restaurant?

Good restaurant names are short, easy to spell and say something about what you offer. A few from this page: Ember & Ash, Common Table and Wok This Way. Tap any of them to see it drawn as a logo.

Can I use these restaurant names?

They’re ideas to start from. Before you use one, check it isn’t already taken by another restaurant near you, in your business register and trademark database, and as a domain and social handle. Adding your town or your own name makes most of them unique.

Can I make a logo for my restaurant name?

Yes. Type your name above or tap one of the ideas, and Zenn draws restaurant logos with it straight away. Pick one, change the colours and font, then download it. Designing is free; a Basic logo is $20, a Premium logo with every file type is $65 and the Brand kit is $96 a year.

Can Zenn suggest more names?

Yes. Open the logo maker and tap Business Names: describe your business and Zenn suggests names you can turn into logos in one tap.

Do I own my restaurant logo?

Yes. Once you buy it, the logo is yours to use on your sign, website, packaging and socials, for ever.
