Foodbuy Foodservice Provides Tips and Tricks  

Your dessert menu isn’t just an add on. It’s the finale to your guests’ meals and will be the last impression they’re given of their overall experience dining with you. You want to make sure you get this crucial menu right. That’s why Foodbuy Foodservice is outlining how to create a successful dessert menu. Read on to learn our expert strategies.  

 

Understand Your Diners 

Before you create any menu for your foodservice operation, you’ll want to make sure you know what your diners are looking for. You can ask yourself these questions: 

 

Do our guests prefer budget or expensive offerings? 

Do we want to fit a specific theme or type of cuisine? 

Do our diners often look for vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free options? 

 

These questions can help you determine how to create a dessert menu that speaks specifically to your usual clientele. 

 

Less Is More 

It may be tempting to go full steam ahead when it comes to crafting a dessert menu. However, it’s usually best to start small when it comes to offering new menu options. Try adding one or two dessert options to your menu, before you spend time and money on an expansive new menu. 

 

Look for Inspiration from Pre-Made Options 

 

Deciding how to create a dessert menu from scratch can feel overwhelming. Luckily, you don’t have to do it all on your own. Many broadline and specialty foods suppliers offer pre-made dessert options.  

 

You can start with a pre-made base, like cake, pie, or cookies, and add your own unique spin. Adding decorative toppings or fresh fruits can make all the difference when preparing and plating these dishes.
