Who said mayo was only good on a basic turkey sandwich and why does pasta have to be the only pairing for alfredo sauce?
These days, innovative plates are a necessity and operators are coming up with signature dishes using everyday staple ingredients they have in their pantry.
Limited Time Offers (LTOs) are a great opportunity to push the boundary of food and innovation and roll out a new recipe – without committing to a permanent menu change.
Your pantry and walk-in are filled with ingredients you can use to create innovative menu items to attract new guests and stay up to date on food trends.
Did you know you can take those ingredients and use them as inspiration to think outside the box of what your normal menu looks like?
