The service encompasses a full end-to-end process, including market and competitor research to identify trending dishes, customer demand gaps, and pricing benchmarks; culinary curation to select or develop signature, seasonal, and complementary menu items that reflect the restaurant’s brand identity (e.g., cuisine type, theme, price positioning); strategic pricing analysis that balances food costs, labor expenses, profit margins, and perceived value; menu engineering to prioritize high-margin, high-demand items through placement and description; visual and informational design (layout, typography, imagery, and concise, appetizing dish descriptions). By integrating culinary expertise, marketing strategy, operational efficiency, and customer psychology, the service aims to enhance customer satisfaction, drive sales of profitable items, streamline kitchen workflows, and strengthen the restaurant’s competitive position in the market.
