In today's competitive restaurant industry, where choices abound and customer expectations are ever-evolving, establishments must go beyond serving great food. Creating memorable dining experiences involves understanding and implementing effective strategies like in-restaurant upselling. This tactic boosts revenue and fosters stronger connections with customers, leading to increased loyalty and advocacy. Upselling, the practice of persuading customers to purchase a more expensive or upgraded version of a product or service, is a fundamental strategy in the restaurant business. When executed tactfully, upselling increases the average check size and enhances the overall dining experience. Here are three tactics your restaurant can implement today: 1. Personalized Recommendations 2. Highlighting Specials and Add-ons 3. Upselling Through Storytelling #hospitalitymarketing

"Sloppy." "Messy." If that's what guests say about your food, are you instinctively concerned about the food quality? “When we saw anecdotal feedback that people thought it’s too messy, we took it as something we should change,” said Adam Robin, COO of Virtual Dining Concepts. “But when looking into the Tattle data, that menu item is often associated with high satisfaction.” High satisfaction! I love this point by Adam. How often do restaurants follow their "gut feelings" instead of relying on statistically significant evidence? Anecdotes can be misleading. The true picture only reveals itself when you have vast amounts of guest feedback data that's high-velocity, structured and actionable. And the smartest executives can separate the signal from the noise to make the right decisions for the brand. Check out our interview with Adam below! #restaurants #restaurantoperations #cx

The drink menu plays a vital role in shaping the dining experience at restaurants. It goes beyond just satisfying customers; it also impacts the establishment's profitability. A thoughtfully curated drink menu can drive sales, entice exploration of beverage options, and create lasting memories for diners. When restaurants provide a diverse drink selection and streamline the ordering process, they elevate customer satisfaction and distinguish themselves from competitors. #RestaurantIndustry #CustomerExperience

This week news broke that Panera Bread was, in fact, overhauling their menu. Coverage took two focal points: Embracing Value and Reduction of Menu Size. Both have fantastic implications for restaurant digital experiences and I dive into the details in this Little Rap. 1. Value is an equation: Value is when a restaurant brand delivers above expectations for a price below expectations. In Panera's case it's a commitment to larger portions with options for under $10. 2. Value Menus help drive more transactions on the digital front meaning more traffic to restaurant brand websites and apps and more opportunity for upsells and loyalty engagement 3. Smaller menus mean less decision fatigue and more pull through The list goes on of the benefits from this push. What restaurant brands should be hearing is that value is here to stay for the foreseeable future and that brands can win with value focus. That doesn't mean going cheap!
