Recommendation

Before adding anticipated trending items to your menu or stocking up on in-demand ingredients, evaluate your customer behavior and sales performance through your restaurant data.

Tools like the Square Dashboard provide real-time insights that can help you identify your restaurant's most popular items. This information gives you more flexibility to try new menu offerings and make informed growth decisions that support your business.

“Restaurant-focused tech helps restaurant leaders keep track of and make adjustments based on what your guests want, like identifying and adding popular specials to the regular menu or having greater visibility into when to staff up on busy days — ensuring you’re providing the best experience time and time again.”
