Chapter 4 - Menu
This chapter deals with how to design, lay out, write the copy and produce a menu that will effectively target and wow your identified customers groups
So in this chapter we talk you through:
- How to inform and educate customers about your food credentials
- How to tell the story and amplify the message about your food, and highlight your menu and dish USP’s
- How to differentiate your menu from your competition
- How reducing menu range and copy and focusing on key words can influence customers choice of menu selection
- How to best sell your food proposition through effective menu copy
- How to decide on the look and feel of your menu to best convey your offer
- How and when to use chalkboards and how to ensure they look great and are kept ‘fresh’
- How to use your menu as a marketing tool
- How to brand your menu so it looks joined up with your existing pub imagery
- The importance of allergen information on your menu
In this chapter in a very practical way we use video and some back up notes to make it easy for you to understand, what needs to be done and how to do it. We remove the mystique and marketing spiel that surrounds menu design and simplify the menu production process, so you can quickly produce the menu that is perfect for your pub.
So why is it so critical to get your menu right?
Your menu showcases your food offer, get it wrong and customers may not even progress to trying your food offer! Get it right and customers will be keen to sample your food proposition. As an example, when customers read your menu online, within 60 seconds they will decide whether to visit you or not!
By using the guidance and tools we provide you are far less likely to disappoint your customers and more likely to build repeat visits,
If not Now, when?
Avoid leaving it to chance, avoid getting it wrong.
Learning by "trial and error" is by far, much more expensive in terms of your time, money and sleepless nights than the small investment in this course.
