Master the art of creating a sensational small plate menu with these 10 expert tips. Unleash bold flavors and elevate your culinary offerings to new heights.

SFA Trendspotter Jonathan Deutsch, Ph.D., CHE, CRC giving Dear Abby realness with his Restaurant Business Online Advice Guy column:  A word of caution: while I am all for updating a menu to be aligned with what guests want (or think they want), I caution against trend-chasing. Offering the hot new thing if you don’t have the capabilities or comfort with the cuisine can backfire. Before incorporating a new menu item, be sure you can execute it well, make business sense, and that it is aligned with your concept. With that caveat, there are a few ways I’d suggest keeping up on trends. At this time of year, many food industry organizations such as the Specialty Food Association, business information companies such as Technomic, Inc. (sister company of Restaurant Business), and the popular press produce trend predictions for the coming year (disclosure: I am a Trendspotter for the Specialty Food Association). These reports can be helpful in validating what you may be hearing from guests and staff or pointing you in some new creative directions. #SFATrendspotterPanel #trends2024 #restaurants #trends
