From the point of view of a diner.

Just from a diner's point of view to answer this question, I hope to help you! As a food lover, there are certainly more dishes on the menu!

I am a total foodie, but, at the same time, I am also a person who has trouble choosing! Every time I go to the restaurant to eat, I always used to the menu of all the dishes in detail to look at once, and then after the first screening to leave want to eat the dishes and then the second choice to choose the most want to eat two or three, after all, not I eat a person can not be all I have a person to say! But compared to the menu of dishes less, I am definitely more favored dishes more, because that will give customers a feeling, the chef of the store should be very good at cooking, or the store's dishes rich.

I once went to a small restaurant with a friend to eat, my friend directly do not look at the menu to report the name of the dish, after ordering I asked you to remember the menu of this dish? My friend said that this restaurant I eat a lot, you can order your own menu does not have the dishes! Although it is very novel, however, not everyone knows that there is this "hidden menu" function, not all restaurants have this condition, the vast majority of people must be in accordance with what is on the menu to order, so as much as possible to give customers a choice, but also to a certain extent to their own restaurants to produce "repeat business" (provided it tastes good!) Take myself for example, if I think the restaurant tastes good, when I see a full menu, I will plan to come back next time to try other dishes, after all, it's impossible to eat all the dishes on the menu in one go (even food bloggers can't eat it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) On the contrary, if it's a dish with fewer items and the flavor is not counter-intuitively good then maybe the restaurant is just stuck in your head!

I remember, not long ago in Hunan TV broadcast of the "Chinese restaurant" program,

Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Liang together with a few stars to open the restaurant at first is not too many dishes, although Zhang Liang's cooking is good, do come out of the dish is also very tempting to look at the diners to eat very happy must taste good, but this restaurant definitely has a certain degree of star effect, if it is put into the real life, an ordinary restaurant is also very good. If it is put into real life, an ordinary Chinese restaurant in the first donkey, only a few dishes to recruit many customers, that unless the restaurant chef can really be comparable to the Michelin chef, otherwise to attract a large number of diners and also have a constant flow of customers, at least in my opinion is still very difficult! And then from the perspective of profitability, the dishes of the restaurant in a way also means diversification, it can cater to more different ages and different levels of customer tastes, compared to other single restaurant (such as Yangji casserole, Yang Guofu hot pot, etc.) the competitive strength of the up, the restaurant's sales is certainly also very substantial!
