The benefits of Menu Staging

What is Menu Staging?

Managing and implementing new menus isn’t a simple job. Changing menus can be a long exhausting task, manual changeovers and hours late at night before a menu launch can deter restaurants from making the most of opportunities like seasonal menus. Additionally it can impact a range of team members, require multiple systems and be prone to mistakes which means that teams cannot simply change menus as and when they please.

That’s where TISSL Menu Staging comes in, it is a tool that provides a dedicated environment to plan and schedule your menus in advance so you can simply create and implement menus as you please. With just a few clicks, you can introduce a new menu, and roll it out across all your systems, from POS terminals to online ordering platforms.

How does Menu Staging support your restaurant 

Launching a new menu is a great way to keep your customers engaged, in fact a well-designed menu can boost restaurant sales by 15%. With intentional menu design you can make use of the freshest produce, capitalise on seasonal favourites and with strong menus you can keep your customers excited to return. With Menu Staging you can take the hassle out of menu management, saving time, reducing errors and making the most of your menus with ease. Let’s explore the benefits of TISSL Menu Staging.

Save time and hassle with advance planning

By planning, creating, and scheduling menus in advance you save significant amounts of time, you have the flexibility to create your menus when it works for you. No need to set aside hours the day before, simply jump in and out of your designated staging environment whenever you get time and build your menu as you go. You can also avoid the midnight menu overhauls on the day of launch making the changeover stress free, just schedule the launch date you want and let your tools do the work for you. In addition to this, by planning in advance you can give your wider team a clear view of what’s to come, so the front-of-house team can learn your menu, kitchen staff can perfect their processes, and managers can predict inventory needs. This helps your whole team contribute to maintaining exceptional customer service no matter the menu.

Reduce errors 

When creating menus manually there are often mistakes that slip through the net, whether its typos, inconsistencies in pricing, or incorrect item availability. By using TISSL Menu Staging you can pre-plan and create menus with intention, helping to simplify processes, avoid information getting lost in translation, preview menus before they go live and easily update any information. By minimising errors, you reduce the amount of last-minute amends your team has to make, saving you time and allowing you to provide your customers with accurate and interesting menus and turn a once complicated chore into an exciting task.

Give your restaurant a competitive edge

Menu Staging makes regular menu updates simple: you can make and implement seasonal menus, special occasion menus, and fresh produce menus across your systems weeks in advance without disrupting your service. This gives customers an intriguing reason to return, and – by introducing and testing various dishes and menus – you can build up data and collect feedback to see what performs best to help you tailor future menus. With the ability to adapt to customer demands and preferences, you can then set yourself apart from other businesses and give your restaurants a competitive edge.
