Ensure your food delivery options exceed expectations

1. Ensure your food delivery options exceed expectations Your food delivery menu shouldn’t simply be a digital version of your restaurant’s dine-in or takeaway menus - when it comes to winning the food delivery game, everything counts. Here are some tips: ● Keep it simple: Your full menu doesn’t have to be your delivery menu ● Compact delivery menu = easier operations and improving delivery times ● Don’t forget add-ons. Offer avocado, additional sides or extra protein,cheese, sauce, etc. ● Complete the meal. Suggest beverage pairings for your meals to boost check prices. (Iced Tea, anyone?) ● Bring on the food specials. Blast out specials on your Instagram or social media to drum up extra business and excitement about your offerings. Make sure to post with photos to get the cravings going. ● Drink specials. In accordance with your state and local regulations, offer cocktails or mocktails. ● Consider family-style meals. Think beverage, appetizer, salad, main course and dessert. Meals that serve the whole family makes it easier for serving, and it’s less packaging waste for you. Highlight the wholesome aspect of your dishes Increase the sales of specific dishes (and your restaurant as a whole) by appealing to the health-conscious side of diners who’d usually prefer having their meals at home, especially relevant during current times. Here’s how you can do so: ● Identify a selection of dishes that have wholesome ingredients, then group these dishes and place them at the top of your menu—preferably under a “Better For You” section to draw attention. ● Highlight the aspects of these dishes that make them great for the immune system by adding their benefits to each dish’s description. For example, if your dish features turmeric as an ingredient, you can highlight its anti-inflammatory benefits.

2. ● Work with food delivery operators to promote your section of wholesome dishes.  Provide great value with family style meals Diners appreciate good value, and family sizes represent fantastic value for money while making purchase decisions easy. Diners can purchase food, drinks and even side dishes in one set, rather than having to purchase them separately and incurring additional charges. Be sure to include set meal options for groups of all sizes. A good selection of choices should (at least) include: ● Individual meals ● Meals for two ● Bundled sets or feasts for a family of 4 to 6 persons
