On this informational sign in ramen shop they use -i adjectives ending with め.
I can understand plain かたい, 多い and such, but what purpose does ending an
adjective in め serves?

question
meaning adjectives suffixes
What does adjective + め means
It's definition 17 on [Jisho](https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9B%AE%20):

>   17. somewhat; -ish
>

So, かため means on cooked a bit on the hard side, やわらかめ on cooked a bit on the
soft side, etc
