    When was the last time you re-engineered your menu?

  • @scrumpa
    @scrumpa 7 років тому +108

    I just wanted to say I'm so surprised and delighted you've taken all this time to make your wonderful, helpful videos. I was truly expecting you to say "and for only $$ you can have all my videos!".. but then you're doing this all for the sake of the industry! Absolutely admirable. I am about to become a first time Chef of a brand new restaurant, and all these things you've taught me are going to blow the owners away.. You've helped me and my family into a better life. Thank you so very much.

    i graduated from culinary school about 10 years ago and this video was a really nice refresher. i definitely remember all this info taught at school. i’m so glad you even brought up the “sweet spot” tips as not a lot of people know about this.

  • @BlueRoseSteakhouse
    @BlueRoseSteakhouse Рік тому +2

    Excellently done. We have a “spotlight menu” in the sweet spot that has a fancy outline, bold text in a slightly different font that holds all of our profit leaders and superstar menu items. This helps drive the sales of them. Every six months we will look at the product mix sale and value, any product that is a new superstar we will see if we can adjust the price for better margins and add it to the spotlight while dropping or demoting any under performing former superstar. Now this might not work as well for restaurants that have a very static menu, we change ours twice a year. Warm and cold season. Also should add the spotlight menu items are duplicated as in they are not moved to the spotlight just added. If they stay on the menu they will also be found in their proper category, burgers under sandwiches , chicken dishes under chicken, steak dishes in under steaks etc.
    Another point on this is while our FOH team has sampled all of our dishes and understand their preparation process, we spend extra time working on the spotlight menu so they can help encourage them to guests if asked about them.

    I'm no expert, but colorful and playful menus with simple bright colorful cartoon illustrations or decorations can disarm diners who are worried about the money they are spending. It lends a "fun" aspect to choosing the food when it's not all serious and black and white. An acquaintance of mine has a junk car business. As part of his ads, he placed a big, bright yellow smiley face. Even on the side of his trucks. People remember the face and it feels cheerful and trusting. He has a smashing business. Customers want to be put at ease when they do any kind of business with you, regardless of the product. Thanks for the video, it was very informative.

  • @sultan718
    @sultan718 9 років тому

    Just stumbled upon your channel, I'm so glad that I did! By far the best videos on UA-cam for restaurant owners. Definitely subscribing. I am currently buying an Oriental buffet in a very good location in London, England. I understand that this is different from a conventional restaurant and we don't have any menus, well because it's a buffet. I was wondering if there is any sort of insight you could provide on how to maybe lower wastage and more importantly tips on how I could possibly attract more customers. Obviously a buffet is a whole different ball game from a normal restaurant but maybe you have some advice that is applicable in my situation. I also signed up to your e-mail newsletter. I really hope you can help me out. Anything would be helpful. Thank you.

    • @Therestaurantboss
      @Therestaurantboss  9 років тому

      Buffets are different animals...especially from a Food Costing standpoint. There are some very simple ways to calculate it, but simple does not mean easy. It is more work. I can share it with you if you are interested. However, I also have a really cool spreadsheet that I just started using with customers that will get you as close to an accurate food cost (or total CoGs) without having to deal with inventory and other time consuming tasks... Fill out an application on my site therestaurantboss.com/1-on-1-consulting/ and lets chat about all this... CHEERS Mate!

I have created a Poké bowl concept, located in Amsterdam(Poké Market). The place is focused on take away due to the low capacity. However, I'm struggling with the decision to hang my menu on the wall or not and honestly there is not enough space. What could you recommend? Customers order at the desk...

    • @RyanGromfin
      @RyanGromfin 4 роки тому

      No reason, it just looks niced to the eye. plus if you are going to charge .60 might as well charge .65 or .67. I just like 5's for low-cost items, I like 7's for high-cost items. There is some research and psychology, but not really too much.

    Hey, Restaurant Boss. Thank you for your video. I work at an Ethiopian restaurant where we need a menu re-design. Our whole concept is a little different from most places. There's a smaller number of total dishes and the customer "builds" their plate by choosing them in combinations. Any general advice? Available to consult?
