| Save on Food Cost - Create Master Menu for Restaurants and Banquets
 These days, we know you're trying to save money wherever you can. Food cost is something you can have a lot of control over, if you plan your menus smartly for both your restaurants and banquets. Cross-utilizing items on both menus can help you save significantly. Many hotel groups across the country mandate corporate menus for their locations, which follow this practice, as is illustrated by this article.
If you don't have a corporate mandate, think about using some of your best sellers from each side of your business to create one menu that can work for both restaurants and banquets. You'll be saving money on food cost, and also eliminating the menu items that aren't selling on either side. |
Keep Your Menus Cool with Exciting Ice Cream Desserts

Restaurants across the country are offering up creative twists on old favorites like ice cream sandwiches, floats and sundaes. Check out this article to see what they're doing.
Having an ice cream dessert on your menu will give your guests a chance to relive their childhood. It can also be a great solution on a hot summer night when they wouldn't have had a dessert if all you offered was heavy cakes and pies. |
