How to assess menu and take data based decisions for product development

A Structured Workshop on Conceptualizing and Designing Menu Options for Restaurant Owners and Chefs

Nowadays, with the cost of rent and staff rising sharply in Shanghai it’s becoming ever harder for restaurants to keep healthy margins while proposing exciting food with proper quality to price ratio for their customers. Designing a menu is a very complicated exercise that is often overlooked by restaurant owners. A great menu is a delicate equilibrium between customer’s favorite, entry level items at accessible price, expensive items and premium products for customer willing to indulge themselves, innovative and more daring dishes for customer who are wanting to discover, comfort food that everybody knows, etc.

Understanding your customers and having a clear concept is a big part of initial menu design but once a restaurant has been running for a while then analyzing your sales and costs will help you create a more attractive menu, increase your sales and increase your profits.

Mill Food Intelligence, in collaboration with NextStep brings you another interactive session aiming at helping restaurateurs and chefs to understand the tools that can be used for menu engineering and how to apply them to their company.

You will learn how to assess your current menu coherence and performance and then what is needed to improve its efficiency.

Understanding what makes a varied menu will also allow you to reach a wider array of target customers and hence increase your sales.
