Be inspired with edamame Sprinkle over a Caesar & Asian salads, instead of using nuts, croutons or fried noodles In the last few minutes of cooking, toss them into a stir-fry Puree with herbed spreadable cheese or even cream cheese & use it as a stuffing for ravioli Reimagine bruschetta, by using edamame & peas, along with basil, garlic, scallions, olive oil and parmesan cheese

HOW CAN WE HELP? QUICK TIPS
By keeping your menu seasonal and ever-changing, it will keep your staff engaged & shows your customers that you really care about serving interesting fresh food. RTU products cost a bit more up front, but at the end of the month you're saving money on labor and you're also padding yourself with non commodity items which gives you stable pricing.
Menus
Highlight Profitable Items
Draw attention to items you want to sell more of with simple highlights (bold, colour) or even feature those items in a separate box.
Social Media
Be proud of what you do! Post great content daily on your social channels, mix it up between static & videos posts. Create FOMO (fear of missing out) posts with purposeful LTO & Slugger Menus. Look at your own behaviour, what grabs your attention & makes you stop to look at a particular post? Not tech savvy? Reach out to us and we'll get you on the right track.
Place Items with Purpose
The first and last items in a category are the most likely to sell. Make sure you have your best performers in those spots.
Omit the dollar sign
Studies have shown that by simply removing the dollar sign from your menu, it can lead to higher customer spend.
Food Costs When planning your next menu, as a rough estimate take your food cost for a dish and multiply it by 3 to get a "Ballpark" selling price.
