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.

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.

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.
