How long it has been since you tried making changes in your restaurant menu? It\u2019s been a while, I guess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAn outdated or incomplete menu that doesn\u2019t include gluten-free and organic food items along with regular dishes can play spoilsport and dissuade your guests from making repeated visits. So, why not resolve to do a yearly menu audit before you head into 2018! The audit will help you introduce varieties in terms of current food trends, seasonal ingredients and portion size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Resolving now to introduce seasonal items at least twice a year will increase your chances of getting appreciation from your guests. Further, when you keep adding seasonal ingredients in your regular dishes, you can ensure that your food doesn\u2019t linger in the walk in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
