Optimize your menus and services for the Olympic Games: attract and retain sports fans

Simplify your menu to reduce preparation times

Optimize your menus by adopting short menus. By simplifying your menu, you reduce preparation times and increase table turnover. A short menu, with a limited number of dishes, allows you to better control the quality and customer satisfaction of each preparation:

• Reduce raw materials stock: Fewer dishes means fewer different ingredients to stock. This facilitates inventory management and reduces the risk of food waste. For example, a restaurant offering a dozen dishes can reduce its inventory by 30% compared to a more extensive menu.
• Kitchen efficiency: A short menu allows chefs to focus on perfecting each dish. Kitchen teams can specialize and improve efficiency, reducing errors and preparation times. An optimized menu can reduce preparation time for each dish by 20 to 30%.
• Flexibility for daily specials: By limiting the number of fixed dishes, you can introduce daily specials based on seasonal ingredients or locally available produce. This adds variety to your offer without complicating day-to-day management.
• Optimizing costs: Fewer ingredient varieties mean you can negotiate larger quantity purchases with suppliers, reducing unit costs. This can lead to a 10-15% reduction in raw material costs.

Propose a varied drinks menu

Diversify your beverage offering by including creative cocktails and non-alcoholic options. In summer, customers are looking for refreshing and sometimes innovative drinks. Offer themed cocktails inspired by the different countries participating in the Olympic Games. Also offer a selection of mocktails to satisfy customers who prefer alcohol-free options. A well-balanced drinks menu can attract a wider customer base and increase sales.

Digitize certain steps

Use digital technologies to enhance the customer experience.Integrate QR codes for menus and orders within your digitalized cards to facilitate access to information and speed up the ordering process.
Propose a mobile payment solution, like Sunday or Zenchef Pay, to facilitate this step and reduce waiting time. These tools not only take the burden off staff, but also deliver a smooth customer experience.
Finally, digital services also collect valuable data on customer preferences, making it easier to personalize offers.

Adopt sustainable and responsible practices

Use local and seasonal ingredients to reduce the carbon footprint of your dishes. Working with local suppliers supports the regional economy and guarantees fresh produce.
Implement composting practices for organic waste and recycling for packaging. These initiatives show your CSR commitmentto the environment and can attract customers concerned about these issues.
