Menu envy


When considering a new menu layout – here’s a few tricky design tips from the experts on ways to subtly sway the diner and maximise dining profitability for your restaurant:
1.     Eyes go to the upper right hand corner first – put the pricier items here
2.     The anchor – the role of the most expensive plate on the menu is to make everything near it look like a relative bargain
3.     Offer a smaller serving size of the anchor – still profitable and feels indulgent
4.     High profit dishes cluster near the anchor
5.     Columns are killers. Omit all $ or £ symbols too
6.     Add boxes to draw attention
7.     Menu Siberia – for low margin dishes or reliable orders
8.     Bracketing to offer size options – diners will tend to trade up
