Denny’s Introduces Cheaper, Smaller Options for Customers
As we all know, our economy is not as strong as it once was. Consumer are more frugal than ever. This makes it even more important to provide low-cost options to your customers along with your regular meals.
I know many times when I go to a restaurant, I can only eat half of the food on my plate. The rest gets thrown out or used as leftovers. Restaurants are wasting tons of food each year. But how do we put these two problems together and come up with a solution?
We can look at what Denny’s has recently done with their menu. They’ve created a $2 $4 $6 $8 Value Menu. Many of the items on it are scaled down versions of other their classics. This way, there is less waste and restaurants can lure more customers in with their low prices.
I think this idea is fabulous. Though I try to be health conscious, going out to eat makes being healthy incredibly difficult. Ask most dietitians and they’ll tell you our proportions in America are out of control. With these new menu items, I don’t feel bad about asking for a box or forced to eat the rest of my food that would be wasted otherwise.
What do you think about value menus? Should they be something that only fast food uses or will they become more popular in the restaurant industry? Read more about Denny’s new menu additions at http://nrn.com/article/dennys-update-2-4-6-8-value-menu
