MIX & MATCH
Sharable, small bites allow diners to maximize their culinary experiences.
- TAPAS: The Spanish got it right when they created these bite-size, small dishes like olives, garlicky shrimp, and crispy, fried potatoes meant to be eaten and enjoyed with wine and friends.
- BOARDS: Today’s menus run the gamut from traditional cheese and antipasti boards to wacky make-your-own salad cup set ups and cheffed up dips & chips.
- SKEWERS: Grilled meats drizzled with herbaceous sauces, charred asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, halloumi cheese cubes, and vibrant berries draped in hot honey all make exciting sharables.
- PLANT-BASED: Ensure your restaurant doesn’t get the veto vote—make sure you have plant-based alternatives for the growing number of vegetarians and vegans.
- PRICE-POINTS: With budgets top of mind, offering a wide range of smaller dishes at lower prices can ultimately increase overall bills. Diners want the variety and experience that come with ordering different flavors.
- ADVENTURE: Customers want to be taken on a journey through their meal. Add appeal and excitement to small bites in the form of finger lime caviar, frizzled shallots, shiny pomegranate seeds, and edible flower garnishes.
