Attendance, and, accordingly, the profit of any catering establishment depends on a well-thought-out menu. You can surprise a modern client and attract regular visitors to your cafe thanks to a properly composed menu.
Instructions
Step 1
Salads are in great demand in any cafe, because they are quick to prepare and are an easy and satisfying dish. Introduce 5-7 traditional salads such as Olivier, Caesar and Vegetable on the menu, and grab attention with a few new recipes. Think carefully about the names of your dishes: your favorite meat salad, called "Austrian" or "Knight's", will pique your interest.
Step 2
Snacks and sandwiches are ordered for a quick snack or to take with you. Explore the menu of your nearest competitors and offer your visitors something that others do not have. Also focus on the main category of buyers, their preferences and financial capabilities. These can be hot dogs and hamburgers if there are educational institutions nearby and the majority of visitors are students. If the cafe is visited more often by business people, then present sandwiches with different types of sausages, cheese and ham on the menu. Canapes with caviar and red fish are always in demand.
Step 3
Fresh baked goods look delicious and their aroma increases the chances of attracting a large number of impulsive customers. All kinds of buns, croissants and pies will always be in demand among the guests.
Step 4
Hot dishes are offered in the cafe, which are quite simple and do not require a long preparation process. At lunchtime, it makes sense to present 2-3 options for soups, and for the second, be sure to offer fish and meat to choose from.
Step 5
Pay special attention to the selection of desserts for your cafe. While traditional ice cream, cheesecakes, and fruit salad are favorite treats for many visitors, experiment with new dessert recipes. Look for which dish will generate the most demand and can become your business card.
Step 6
The assortment of drinks is based on the format of the establishment and takes into account the main category of visitors. As a rule, apple and peach juices are in stable demand, others are slightly less, but the selection should include at least 5 items. It is necessary to have several types of mineral and drinking water available. Of course, many people love to visit cafes primarily because of the delicious milkshakes. Usually they order strawberry, chocolate and banana. If the cafe offers the sale of alcoholic beverages, then the wine list must include at least 10 items. It's good if there is an opportunity to order a cheese plate.
