I know there's a big debate about having #salt and pepper on the table at a fine-dining #restaurant. No matter where you stand on the matter, whether the salt is on the table or only available by request, providing your customers with a curated culinary experience seems the most advantageous for everyone. The perfect pairing of salt should elevate the dish, not cover up for poor flavor or kitchen preparation. The upfront cost is minimally different and pairing the perfect salt with a menu should be considered the same or a more important detail than the proper utensil to consume a dish or any plating exercise. My advice: avoid refined table salt and shakers at the table. They feel like a "band aid" towards poor culinary preparation. Instead, we recommend being thoughtful about providing the perfectly paired finishing salt for your menu. Offer it as a side or add on. Or consider making available in mini-pinch jars on each table. In either circumstance, you are creating a unique experience for your dining guests in a way that will delight and surprise and keep them coming back for more. #SeaSaltSuperstore #FineDining

It's Not Just About the Food… It’s easy to focus on portion size when dining out, but let's not forget the artistry of presentation! A beautifully plated dish can elevate a meal from good to unforgettable. From the careful arrangement of ingredients to the choice of tableware, every detail matters. How a dish is served can significantly impact the overall dining experience. #food #hospitality #creativity

What is the #Importance and Features of the Restaurant #FoodMenu? The food menu reflects the concept of the restaurant. Today , in 2022 New Food Trends & Restaurant Trends , the #concept of the restaurant and the #menudesign should complement each other. In other words, a classic restaurant cannot have a modern menu. It wouldn't be appropriate though. The fact that even the colors in the restaurant #conceptdesign are included in the food menu is an indication of the order and harmony in the restaurant. Some high-end restaurants do not write #prices on their menus. There is no big problem with having prices on the food menu. This is a #matter of #restaurantmanagement 's decision and principles. But daily prices or #prices written with an #unprinted pen are never acceptable. #Guestsatisfaction in these restaurant #businessesendanger him in the first #place as a first impression.

Striking a balance between being innovative and playing the hits on your menu is one of the hardest things to do. Consumers want something familiar to latch onto (for the vast majority of restaurants), but they also want new things or twists on their familiar favorites (that novel excitement that comes with trying something perceived as new). The key to this is understanding who are your customers and what they want and the best way to do that is to have your team get out into the dining room and ask them what they want. This also has the benefit of giving your managers a reason to come and touch the table. Pete Sittnick clued me into a great question that he has his managers ask "What things could we do that would get you to come back once more each month?" tracking these responses gives you a great insight into driving frequency (which is hugely impactful for restaurant success), but can also uncover areas that guests don't love. Most consumers are looking for the classics executed to a great level. Think of the things your crave when you go out to eat, Burgers, Pizza, Pasta, Sushi, Roast Chicken, Perfectly Crispy Salmon etc. These are usually not wildly complicated items. I personally believe that nostalgia is one of the most underrated factors in restaurant menu design (A la Egon in Ratatouille). Having a mix of the classic standbys and a few inventive dishes allows for a great mix. How do you think about addressing this in your restaurant?
