ITALIAN DELI MEAT

With Arugula, sundried tomato pesto

A sandwich nation

Renowned for its cured meats, salami & cheeses, Italy stands out as one of the top nations for sandwich creations. With a wealth of culinary expertise, the country is a hotbed for inventive and delicious sandwiches.

The Perfect Lunch: The Classic Italian Sub

The Italian sub sandwich is a timeless classic, and every deli has their own unique twist on it. The key to its mouthwatering flavour lies in the balance between rich-and-fatty ingredients and spicy-and-crunchy ones. To achieve the ideal texture and structure, it's recommended to start with crusty rolls that have soft, pillowy insides.

UPSELLING TECHNIQUES

Server Training

Enhancing the dining experience through effective upselling is about being attentive to customers' cues & preferences without pressuring them to make unwanted purchases.

To help your staff initiate this approach: Utilize pre-shift meetings to introduce & discuss the specials of the day Conduct role-play exercises where the staff take turns playing the server & the customer. Practice suggestive selling, offering recommendations & handling objections Discuss pairings (beverage or appetizer).

Explain how certain pairings enhance the customer’s overall dining experience Teach your staff how to use persuasive & suggestive language. Encourage them to describe the taste, quality & uniqueness of dishes. Use positive adjectives like "delicious," "homemade" or "signature” Recognize & reward staff with successful upsells, motivating the team to excel in this aspect of service

At New York’s City, Serendipity3, they charge $214 for their grilled cheese made with French Pullman Champagne & 23k edible gold flakes bread, grass-fed white truffle butter & slices of a rare Caciocavallo Podolico Cheese.

Classic, not traditional, Grilled Cheese

Fall Comforts With Fall in full swing, is there anything more comforting than a grilled cheese and soup.

While a cheddar & tomato soup are amazing, you can also have some fun with other cheese & puree based soups. Toasting up sourdough with goat cheese, mozzarella, and sweet caramelized onions to serve alongside butternut squash soup. I also love to add coconut milk to the soup to not only change the flavour profile but increase the yield on this yummy ready to use product.

ENGINEER YOUR MENU TO

Make it Profitable

Analyze your units sold & gross profits, then categorize your menu items accordingly by menu section.

PLOWHORSES sell well, but don’t do as well in profit margin. Can you make these items more profitable by increasing price or decreasing cost?

DOGS don’t produce for you at all. Do you need these items on your menu?

STARS sell well and they bring the highest gross profit margin. Emphasize your Stars on your menu.

PUZZLES don’t sell as well as you’d like, but when they do, the profit margin is above average. Look for ways to sell more of these items.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT

Email & Text Marketing Did you know that e-mail and text marketing remain two of the most effective marketing mediums? As we know, marketing is communicating our Brand experience; e-mail and text marketing support our efforts by keeping our Brand top of mind so when we are making dining decisions we gravitate toward the Brands that are familiar and fresh in our memory.

PORK BELLY BAO BUNS Bao buns offer the flexibility of enjoying them round the clock. Fill them, serve them open-faced, or fold them up – they're the ideal culinary canvas to enchant your guests, no matter the occasion.

How will you seize this opportunity?

And both are opt-in; in other words everyone that receives our communications does so because they want to hear from us. They are already interested in our brand - all we need to do is give them what they want. E-mail marketing is ideal for regular updates on events, menus, community highlights, and other relevant topics that give our Brands depth and strengthen connections with our advocates. Text marketing is great for steering decision making at key intervals: over 70% of dining decisions are impulse decisions you want your Brand on their mind when those decisions are being made. In other words, a text before the lunch hour during a weekday, or Friday afternoon going into the weekend with a teaser about what your establishment is featuring, or a link to a coupon that can be redeemed.
