Small menus drive in your customers 

Small menus make customers believe that each of your dishes is special and encourage them to order more. It plays around with their minds and convinces them that your food is of high quality.

Limited menus are easy to customize and edit based on changing seasons, healthy diets and trends, etc. You can avoid putting items that are complex for your staff to prepare and unaffordable for both you and your customers. Moreover, you can easily cut out items that don’t align with your customers’ preferences and reduce wastage while also saving the cost of food.

Enrich customers’ dining experience

Large menus often have so many dishes that make it difficult for restaurants staff to put their best in everything. Customers are aware of this and they might perceive your vast menu to be low in quality. On the other hand, if you go with the limited menu options, you can give every dish your best and improve your customer’s dining experience for your customers.

Limited menus are good for high-end pricing

It means you can leverage the higher profit on menu items with lower the portion size and save up more on the food cost.
