Traditionally the biggest day of the year for the foodservice industry, the heat is on to prepare topquality dishes and impeccable service for diners. Adjusting your normal menu and service can leave lasting impressions on guests and make every mom feel special on their big day.

CULINARY CONCEPTS FROM CHEF MARINA SUITABLE FOR TAKE OUT PACKAGING SOLUTIONS TO PRESENT YOUR SPECIAL MENU FRESH PRODUCE OPTIONS MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA IDEAS

Innovation and adaptability are critical to the ever changing environment of the foodservice industry. Foodservice operators that adapt and provide quality family-style meals for customers to consume at home have an advantage. Offering the convenience of family-style meals will attract guests looking to serve restaurant quality food with ease. From eliminating home kitchen mess to simplified ordering, family-style meals are an appealing solution. For the operator, menu offerings that are efficient to produce are key but also work well for family Mother's Day celebrations. As many people will likely still be staying home a majority of the time, restaurants will continue to innovate by selling take-and-bake kits. These have already included things like assembled but not cooked pizzas, bread, and other meals. You can even get steaks and deli meat at some of your favorite places! The perfect marriage between cooking and takeout. Offer your customers the option to pick up the pre-portioned ingredients and preparation instructions so they can recreate the magic of your menu at home just for Mom! However this is not just limited to traditional dinner meals. Brunch family-style meals provide comfort to families and are the most cost-effective and efficient way to execute an off-premise dining program. Some operators have found success by creating a separate, limited takeout menu that offers a few select brunch packages. This has the added benefit of a meal that is quickly and easily assembled; providing operators with an efficient means of fulfilling consumer needs and driving revenue. Spend some time researching popular local comfort foods on your menu and make sure they stand out as winners. Comfort foods are called that for a reason; they are enjoyable to consume and provide relaxation to diners.

Don’t alienate a subsection of moms and families by only catering to one version of what “mom” can mean—these days the role of mom can be filled by plenty of people from grandmothers and nannies to daycare providers. Families can also have two moms, two dads, or multiple “mom” roles—the rules of what makes a family is evolving, so make sure your take on Mother’s Day fits the ever-expanding mold not only to be on the right side of history but to make sure your visitor net is as wide as possible in the process. Be clear about the fact that “mom” and “family” aren’t strictly interpreted in your establishment and that all moms are welcome.

Be every son or daughter's hero this Mother's Day by offering your patrons everything they need to treat Mom in one, affordable package. Work with other local businesses to keep costs down and give your customers the option of adding things like fresh flowers and personalized message cards to your food, drinks and sweets. Customers on a budget will love getting extra bang for their buck, while their mothers will come away feeling truly pampered. What about a yoga studio or salon that’s fairly popular? Partner with local businesses to up the offering. Maybe a package that includes brunch to-go and a manicure? This is great for you and your local partners – you get access to a new customer base, can split marketing efforts and costs with another business, and customers get two great offerings in one!

Food boards are here and ready to delight at every turn! What was once reserved for cheese, meat, and a wide array of accompaniments has now opened the doors for all other types of food. Charcuterie boards are being taken to the next level in this latest craze. Breakfast and brunch are no exception! Forego cheese, meat, and the like in favour of other options, everyone can get onboard in serving their favourites in style. Think...Pancake and/or Waffle boards with syrups and toppings OR a traditional breakfast board of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and fruit...don't forget the homefries! Beyond breakfast try taco, burger or dessert boards, the sky is the limit! No meal is safe from wending spread across a board ready for sharing with the family.
