Restaurant Desserts

A restaurant menu should change with every season; however, you will always have a few items that will remain constant, with only the garnish changing. Maintaining seasonality with your menu will keep better costs as well as better flavors. It will also make marketing easier, as the freshest items will have the best flavors and will appeal more to the customers. Use specials to highlight ingredients at their seasonal peak. A good barometer for the success of a dessert is how well it sells, but also keep in mind that items that don’t sell well may have a poor placement or wording on the menu; if corrected, an item that used to be problematic could become one of the best sellers.
