Some ideas for menus:

Include your menu on your web site, or on other web sites for online browsers.
  • If this idea brings in just one extra table of 4 new customers per week, that could be $100 in profits per month - not to mention that new customers are much more difficult to acquire than repeat customers.
Leave dessert menus at the table after the large menus are picked up by the wait staff. People read what is available on the table, and may find your desserts appealing when they might not have otherwise been thinking about dessert.
  • If this idea sells just two extra desserts per day, and you could make an extra $100 profit per month!
Include photographs of dishes, or on just featured dishes that your customers might find unfamiliar.
  • If this idea sells one extra dish per day, you could make an extra $100 profit per month!
Have take-home menus available for customers and local businesses. People may post them in their offices or keep them available in their homes when making dining decisions, or to call for take-out.
  • If this idea brings in one order for an office lunch (10 orders x $10) per week, you could make an extra $50 profit!
Use color in your menus. New printing methods make it very cost-effective, and it gives your restaurant an updated, fresh look.
  • If this idea improves your sales by $100 per month, you may have already covered your costs!
Have specials printed on small cards and insert them into the menus. You can even have several sets that you rotate to keep your menus fresh and exciting.
  • If this idea causes your "regular" customers to visit twice as often, you double your profits!
