5 The dessert menu can be a springboard for distinction…customer delight…return business…greater profits. The Sweet Street Balanced Dessert Menu Concept brings out the power of taste and appearance to help sell more desserts. By evaluating your dessert offerings on taste (flavors and textures) and appearance (shapes and presentation), there will be at least one dessert that appeals to each customer. It’s a simple concept and we’ll show you how it works to your benefit.

6 The importance of getting ONE person at the table to participate… The check average for the table is increased. –82.4% would order dessert when someone else at the table orders dessert** –76% of patrons would order a dessert specifically made to be shared.* –54% of people will order a dessert they see others eating.** Other high margin items get sold as compliments. –65.8% would order coffee, tea or an after dinner drink when someone else at the table orders dessert.** –88% will order coffee, tea or an after dinner drink with their dessert* Provides an opportunity for making a last, GREAT impression.

7 Four easy steps 3. Consider shapes 4. Consider presentation TASTE APPEARANCE 1. Consider flavors 2. Consider textures How to “WOW” your customers…

8 TASTE starts with a FLAVOR! SELECT FROM FOUR FLAVORS Although 95% of patrons would order if their favorite dessert was on the menu, our research indicates that patrons are also prone to choosing their favorite flavors when ordering a dessert… It takes only four flavor profiles to appeal to 88% of patrons which will dramatically increase the likelihood ONE dessert on your menu will appeal to ONE customer. It’s no wonder then, that these four flavors consistently rank as the highest selling and most often menued flavors on the dessert menu.

9 OFFER A RANGE OF TEXTURES Different textures make the menu interesting, more intriguing and different patrons are influenced by different textures. Key Point: Textures give the waitstaff a good starting point for mouthwatering descriptions and promotes effective suggestive selling.

10 Present an array of SHAPES to maximize visual appeal! The SHAPE AND PRESENTATION greatly enhance the APPEARANCE OF A GREAT DESSERT MENU. Compare this to six pie wedges!

11 Creating interest brings patrons closer to a buying decision with a little attention to presentation. Simple platescaping can make any dessert a signature item.. “Create a memory” with a GORGEOUS PRESENTATION Factors influencing the decision to order dessert: Appearance of Dessert – 89% Photo on Menu – 85 % Dessert Cart/Tray – 80% Table Tent – 52% Menu Clip on – 42% Counter Card –36%
