Before designing menu planning, we must establish the target market and determine what the hotel is facing. Understand the needs of guests and design recipes according to the tastes and habits of diners. Only in this way can the recipes be convenient for guests to read and choose, and can they attract guests to stimulate their appetite and make them order this and that. At the same time, we should also know the situation of manpower, material resources and financial resources in our hotel, do what we can, and be sure of our own technology and market supply. Only in this way can we plan a menu suitable for hotel restaurant management, ensure high sales and gross profit margin, and try to reflect guests' hobbies as much as possible. Perhaps you think this is difficult to do, because people's interests are different, and it is difficult to adjust their opinions. But this can't be used as an excuse. Let's use our brains to make the menu popular with the public. Although people have different hobbies, there are still some similarities or differences between people. Understand that the first thing that every customer touches is the cover of the recipe.
