Welcome to 2018! We hope that your holidays were filled with customer satisfaction and financial success. If not, now may be the prime time to assess and review all important areas of your business with a fresh set of eyes. What are your first impressions? Does the appearance of the exterior look inviting to customers? Does the menu match the ambiance of the establishment? These details need to be revisited, as well as the following areas:
Menu
Does your menu cater to the customers who are attracted to your venue? Do you have appropriate-sized portions of food? If your meals are too large, you might lose the opportunity to offer an appetizer or dessert. What is being thrown out? Have you engineered your menu? If you serve fried food, do you have a solid oil management program in place? Are you using a filter aid such as Magnesol to produce consistent, high quality fried food to your guests?
All of the challenges referenced above address not only products, but also the importance of relationships. You must consider the value proposition you offer from each one of these relationships when reviewing the above. After all, there is more to a price, your success is built on those partnering relationships. Here is to a successful 2018!
