Today I bring you my thoughts on some elements to consider when deciding on the price for the group menu of a restaurant. I hope you like it and leave your thoughts in comments!

Over the past 2 days at the Restaurant Show, 100% of restaurant operators we've talked to have agreed with this one statement: Every second counts. Why? Because in the restaurant industry, there's a very limited window of opportunity to capture sales. And that's why it's so critical to make your staff as efficient as possible. Why are servers so impatient when they're waiting for their drinks at the service bar? Because they know that every second they're away from their tables, they're missing an opportunity to: ✅ build rapport ✅ make additional sales ✅ manage the guest experience and all of the other revenue-generating activities that make your restaurant more profitable. That's why equipment like Auto-Rinse™ is so valuable. Sure, it helps the bartender work faster--but that's just the beginning. The real value is how it helps the servers get back to their tables faster, so they can focus on generating revenue. A few seconds can be the difference between a server being in sales mode or survival mode. A few seconds can be the difference between a positive or negative dining experience A few seconds is all you need to sell a: ✅ coffee ✅ dessert ✅ round of drinks ✅ loyalty card membership Smart operators know that incremental sales like this add incredible amounts of profit over time. That's why they invest in equipment like Auto-Rinse™. Because they know that shaving just a few seconds off of each drink ticket results in exponential profit potential.

Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte How would you react if someone tells you to start a restaurant with just ONE dish? But Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte is a chain of restaurants that serve only ONE salad and ONE main course dish. The only instance where customers have to choose is from a handful of dessert and wine options. And they've been doing this for years! It does have it's own set of advantages - for restaurant (operational efficiency, advantages of volume & so on) as well as for customers (less time spent on menu, don't have to worry about your neighbour's plate :) ) But that's not the point. Imagine the confidence it takes to start something like that!!! It's not just about being amazing and consistent at what one does - it's also about being so sure that your customers will like it and come back to it. In addition, not worried about those who don't come to you as they don't want what you serve. If you're a business owner and want to be recognised for something, then: 1. You need to be really good and consistent at what you're offering 2. You need to be sure that your customers would pay for it and 3. You should be ok with some customers would not align with your offering and may not come to you / walk away from you What would you like to be known for? #msme #businesscoach #restaurants #hospitality

This menu is not suitable for a restaurant. Your menu reflects everything about your restaurant, bar, or café. The menu is the second thing a customer sees after being seated by the waiter. The purpose of a menu is to showcase the quality of your offerings, not just the prices. Do you understand the difference? This is why restaurants fail; they think lowering prices will attract more customers. But that is not true. We need customers to order because of the quality you provide. #menu #menucard
