Add "Specials" To Your Menu and Increase Sales

Add value to your menu and improve your bottom line by adding “specials”. According to a recent study from Restaurants & Institutions, customers are more likely to order a "menu special" because it is considered a better value than regular menu items. Use the recipes shown here as a stand alone special or pair them with a smaller protein offering. And if they result in increased sales, consider making them a permanent part of your menu.
