As the seasons transition, restaurant menus undergo adjustments to feature seasonal ingredients. During the fall season, dishes are packed with rich fall flavors and cater to customers' cravings for warm autumn-worthy experiences. What can we say, comfort food never goes out of style.
With Fall brimming with rich favors and traditions inspired by the season's harvest and cooler weather, here are some tips and recipes to help you stand out from your competitors.
Offer your customers treats to stay warm as the weather gets colder
As the weather cools down, the craving for hot and comforting meals rise. Seize this opportunity to expand your menu with a selection of warming comfort meals with a twist. Try incorporating different items together. For example, try adding pepperoni to your mac and cheese using our premium pepperoni. Combine panko bread, creamy Mac and cheese prepared with our Bellissimo Artisan Pepperoni, mozzarella, Parmesan, aged provolone, and cheddar cheese sauce and garnish with vibrant microgreens.
Do not shy away from spices
While looking for new flavors, customers often scroll restaurant menus searching for spicy dishes or meals with richer taste. An easy way to fulfill that demand is to incorporate fall flavors into your menu by adding some classic fall spices. Try making artisan meatballs with our Bellissimo Bold Pepperoni. Roasted meatballs made from a medley of ground beef, veal and pepperoni, served in a marinara sauce, placed over a bed of baby arugula dressed with a red wine vinaigrette and grated Parmesan cheese invites your guests to a cozy sit-down meal.
Preparing your food for "off-premise" consumption
Fall tends to be a busy season for everyone – the bustle of work, the return to Schoo, coupled with colder weather, makes people want to stay indoors for longer periods during the day. As a result, there's a growing inclination to rely on food delivery apps for a convenient and speedy lunch or dinner option. Consumers turn to the convenience of delivery in the days leading up to major holidays that require a lot of cooking.
The demand for take-out and food delivery continues to grow. Online food delivery has become immensely popular due to its ability to address the demands of modern lifestyles. Ordering food through user-friendly apps or websites eliminates the need to travel, cook, or clean up. Add our Cup & Char pepperoni to any dough to make a quick and easy to-go meal – flatbread, calzones, or a classic pepperoni pizza.
Being ready to meet your customers' seasonal demand is crucial. Embrace these weather changes as an opportunity to experiment with menu ideas and elevate the variety of dishes you offer to a new level.
