How to Launch a New Dish and Make it Stand Out to Your Customers

2 min read Ordinami editorial team

When deciding to launch a new dish in your restaurant, it's crucial to have an effective marketing strategy to make it stand out to customers. A new dish can be a great opportunity to attract customers' attention and increase sales, but if not promoted correctly, it can go unnoticed.

How to Choose the New Dish

Before launching a new dish, it's essential to choose an option that is appetizing and suits your audience. Consider current culinary trends, seasons, and your customers' preferences. For example, if your restaurant specializes in vegetarian cuisine, you could consider adding a new seasonal dish, such as a porcini mushroom risotto.

Example of a New Dish

An example of a new dish could be a beef burger with goat cheese and onion jam. This dish combines different flavors and textures and can be a great option for customers looking for something new and different.

How to Promote the New Dish

Once you've chosen the new dish, it's essential to promote it correctly. Here are some ideas to make it stand out to your customers:

  • Create a digital menu with the new dish highlighted. Learn how to create a digital menu on Ordinami.it.

  • Post an image of the new dish on your social media profiles.
  • Share a recipe or a video showing how to prepare the new dish.
  • Offer a special deal or promo for followers who share a post about the new dish.

How to Measure Success

Once you've launched the new dish, it's essential to measure the success of the promotion. Here are some ideas to do so:

  • Monitor sales of the new dish and compare them to sales of other dishes.
  • Ask customers to provide feedback on the new dish.
  • Use analytics tools to monitor traffic on your website and social media profiles.

Example of Feedback
