Human beings exhibit many predictable behaviors that we don’t realize we act on subconsciously. For example, looking up and to the left when trying to remember something, yawning when someone else yawns, or mirroring the body language of people around us.

Even your most reliable menu items can lose their shine over time. Dining habits change, food costs fluctuate, and customer preferences can shift depending on what’s trending. All of these things are ok, so long as you’re menu is evolving with the changes. Menus aren’t meant to stay static, and not adjusting to the ebbs and flows of business could be damaging your bottom line, and many times, you might not ever realize it’s happening.

Owning a restaurant is difficult enough on its own, without the added challenge of managing payroll.
