El nuevo menú gustará a todos los clientes.

The new menu will be pleasing to all the customers (All customers will like the new menu).

The 'Backwards' Verb

In Spanish, the verb gustar means 'to be pleasing to.' The thing that is liked acts as the main subject, which is why we use 'gustará' (singular) when you will like one thing, or 'gustarán' (plural) if you will like many things.

The Future Tense

The 'ará' ending tells us this action hasn't happened yet—it will happen later. It expresses a future prediction or certainty about someone's enjoyment.

Confusing the Person

Mistake:Yo gustará el libro. (I will like the book.)

Correction: A mí me gustará el libro. ('The book will be pleasing to me.') Remember the verb form ('gustará') matches the book (singular thing), not the person liking it (I).
