IMHO this is not a web/CSS question.  Bob's suggestion is valid, but is
mainly useful when you want to CSS to format a document for printing
that is also available for the web. Thomas' question about a print-only
document, and only for a few select users (the ones creating/printing
the menu).  Create your data management backend, and have the output go
to PDF via a menu template instead of a web page.  You thus have
absolute control over the layout.  This can be accomplished reasonably
easily using fpdf or pdflib in PHP; similar utilities exist for other
common web scripting languages.  CSS is fantastic, but don't use a
screwdriver to hammer a nail.
