Summer Fare Options

The latest heat wave has people dreading turning on their ovens and you can use this opportunity to increase sales! Advertise beat the heat specials to increase foot traffic.

Think about expanding your summer menu's to include lighter scaled down versions of your best selling items or add a twist with a meal deal- add desert or an appetizer for a low price. Update or add more salad options to your menus for the lighter appetite. Offering a half plate option for sandwiches or pastas is a great way to increase your profits and offer customers a lighter dining option as well.

Keep your customers cool and happy with assorted flavored iced teas and add a smoothie or fruity component to alcoholic beverages for a nice summer thirst quencher.


We at Superior Menus wish you Full Tables!

Choosing A Menu Cover

What does your menu style say about your business?

Most people will tell you that your menu is your most effective marketing tool.
So what does that mean to you?
When planning the items that you will be featuring on your menu,there are many things to take in to consideration. Food prices,liquor prices,best selling items, availabilty & seasonality of ingredients, and your operating hours all play a part of of the decision making process and what you offer.

What do you consider when you choose a menu cover or style?
Do you choose it solely on cost per piece?

We have some recommendations on what should go into your decision, to help you make the most of your menu and how you choose to present it, for increased sales and profits.

1. Consider the type of atmostphere that your establishment offers.

Are you a casual dining style, family friendly, bar & grill or tavern?

These types of atmospheres all lend themselves to a more comfortable style of dining; perfect for laminate menu covers, vinyl or nylon menu covers or menu covers with a low level of maintenance. They will allow for quick and easy clean ups and offer durabilty without sacrificing style. All of these menu options are easy on the budget as well.

Are you a table cloth and cloth napkin establishment?

We recommend using a menu cover with menu paper inserts. Album style menu covers allow you to have your menu printed on stylish coordinating menu paper that can easily be removed for menu updates or changes and still reflect your style. Don't forget the menu paper protectors! These will protect the paper inserts from unsightly spills and stains.

2.Consider how often you update or change your menu items.

If you update or change your menu or prices once or twice a year, laminate menus are the perfect choice for you!

If you change your menu more frequently using a menu cover with sleeves or an album style cover is the best fit for you. You can update easily with only the cost of printing and menu paper.


3.Consider how many items your menu offers.

Do you offer daily, weekly or happy hour specials that change frequently- consider offering these on a separate menu. You can invest in a menu cover for your main menu items and offer a table tent or stand for specials.


These are a few of our suggestions to help you choose the best menu to fit your needs.
We offer all of these styles and more and would love to help you choose the best fit!
Wishing you full seats!

National Nutrition Month®

Seventy-two percent of adults say they lean toward healthier items when dining out, according to the Association's 2012 Restaurant Industry Forecast.

What can you do to adjust your menus to offer these items to your customers?


Don't forget the kids!  The Kids Live Well Program has gained national recognition and is a great step towards healthy kids meals!

Consider partnering your establishment with the Healthy Dining Partner. They offer free menu consultations and nutrition analysis. http://www.healthydiningfinder.com/home

Seasonal and locally grown food is a great way to incorporate healthy items into your menus.

We wish you a season of sales & health!

Make the Most of Social Media

Are you utilizing Social Media for your marketing strategies or shying away from all things "trendy"?
It once seemed that social media was going to be a flash in the pan for the restaurant and hospilitality industries, but consumers are saying it isn't so.

Look at it this way;
If your customers are using it...you should be too!

What's a better way to advertise via "word of mouth" than a Like on a Facebook page or a follow on Twitter? Building a Facebook page for your business is fairly easy and best of all, free! Set up your menu, hours of operation and even add a map. Update Happy Hour Specials, special attractions and seasonal fair in no time at all!

You may not see the value in this free marketing but trust me... restaurant owners didn't think Yelp would catch on until they got a bad review and it spread quickly. I don't say that to scare you because honestly you can't have all good reviews and if you value customer feedback and use it as an agent of change it can be a good thing.

We at Superior Menus understand "new" can be scary and in this industry you need to prove out the return for your money before investing. Marketing via Social and Mobile media is a fast inexpensive way to connect with customers with a method they are using every day.

Superior Menus will be offering QR codes as a service for our customers.Use this easy mobile marketing tool that is maintenance free! Look for QR codes coming in March!
