HOW TO LEVERAGE SHAREABLE OPTIONS FOR A PROFITABLE & QUICK-TO-TABLE MENU

We know that creating a memorable dining experience that's also profitable is the name of the game in the food business. But as consumers slow down on their spending, how can you present a menu that’s palatable to their cost-conscious ways and also to your bottom line? 

We think we have the answer: Happy hour. Today, we're diving into the world of ‘Tear and Share’ recipes – they're not just delicious but can also boost your bottom line. 

What is ‘Tear and Share’, you ask? It’s the simplicity of serving your customers one of the most cost effective ingredients (yep, bread) in a way that is fun and delicious, as well as super easy for your kitchen to put together.

‘Tear and Share’ recipes are the perfect fit for happy hour menus. The communal aspect of sharing encourages larger groups to order more, increasing the average spend per table during these lucrative hours. It's an excellent strategy for boosting your happy hour profits.

Some happy hour menus feature smaller, more affordable items. ‘Tear and Share’ recipes can be adapted to suit this format, allowing you to offer wallet-friendly options that still provide a unique and engaging dining experience.

Tear and Share Recipe Ideas for Happy Hour:

• Mini Mediterranean Platter: Offer a mini Mediterranean platter with slices of Speedibake Rustic Turkish Loaf accompanied by olives, feta cheese, and a selection of marinated vegetables. It's a shareable and satisfying option that pairs well with wine and cocktails.
  
  
•  A simple selection of cheese: The best way to serve a cheese like brie or sharp cheddar is not with crackers, but with a soft baguette. Controversial we know, but once you try it you won’t go back (ask the French!). The Speedibake Traditional Sourdough Baguette is made the traditional way, with a culture that’s over a decade old. It’s stonebaked too so it gives your customers that ‘home made’ feel. 
  
  
•  A healthier option: Serve slices of Speedibake’s Rustic Ciabatta Loaf with a variety of hummus and other dips. This combination is a hit during happy hours, providing a healthy and tasty option for health-conscious patrons.
