Food and hospitality icons for Power BI

Food icons label menu categories, outlets and service types. Restaurant, hotel and catering reports use them to split covers, sales and waste by what was served.

Using food & hospitality icons in Power BI

Where food & hospitality icons earn their place in a report, and how to keep them readable.

Menu categories need icons that differ in outline, not just in detail. A cup and a glass are close; a cup and a plate with cutlery are not.

Keep hospitality icons in the brand's accent rather than food colours. Brown coffee and red wine icons fight the data colours on the page.

Power BI tip: Build a small Menu Category dimension with an IconKey column, relate it to the icon CSV from this page, and use it in a matrix row header so every subtotal row carries its icon.

Good uses

  • Sales by menu category
  • Outlet tiles (bar, restaurant, café)
  • Food waste KPIs
  • Covers by service (breakfast, lunch, dinner)

Three steps from this page to your report

  1. 01

    Pick and colour

    Choose one of the food & hospitality icons below and set its colour to match your theme.

  2. 02

    Copy the format you need

    SVG or PNG for Image visuals and button icons; the DAX measure or data URI for tables, matrices and cards; theme icon JSON for conditional formatting.

  3. 03

    Bind it in Power BI

    For a measure, set Measure tools → Data category to Image URL. For theme icons, import the theme and choose the icon in Conditional formatting → Icons.

Want the icon next to a formatted value with a target colour? The free DAX SVG measure builder draws icon + value cards, and the conditional formatting icons recipe walks through custom icon sets end to end.

Questions about these icons

Can I use these food & hospitality icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (28 from Lucide, 28 from Tabler Icons, 6 from Heroicons, 18 from Fluent UI System Icons), which allow commercial use. Keep the licence notice when you redistribute the icon files themselves; the full texts are on the licence page. Licence texts · licence file (.txt)

Why does my DAX icon show as text?

The measure's Data category must be Image URL (Measure tools → Data category). Also check that every # in the SVG is written as %23, which the copied measure already does.
