SUNNY TIMES FOR OUTDOOR CATERING
Outdoor areas as a lucrative source of revenue – not just on hot days!
-
As soon as the days get longer and temperatures rise, outdoor dining areas fill up. However, outdoor dining is no longer just for hot summer days. Nowadays, more and more guests are drawn to outdoor dining throughout the year.
-
This makes it all the more important to plan all the necessary preparations for the outdoor season in spring. We provide you with useful tips for your outdoor menu so that you can respond to this demand early on and increase the number of guests and sales in the long term.
Burgers – the eternal trendsetter
Why are burgers perfect for the beer garden menu? Burgers are an attractive addition to any outdoor menu and are popular with guests of all ages.
But burgers don't just make your guests happy, they also help you to design outdoor offerings that are contemporary, guest-oriented and operationally feasible:
STAFF SHORTAGE
Staff shortages remain a major challenge for all restaurateurs. With outdoor dining and fluctuating guest numbers, the situation is becoming even more difficult than it already is. In the kitchen, you can take the pressure off your staff by using products that require no preparation and can be cooked quickly and easily, even by untrained staff. Salomon FoodWorld burger patties work on all appliances and guarantee consistent quality. This means, for example, that there are no differences in size after grilling.
REGIONALITY
Regional cuisine is becoming increasingly important to more and more guests. Even for a typical country inn with a beer garden, you can easily integrate burgers into the regional menu. We recommend combining them with regional ingredients that you also use for other dishes. For example, sauerkraut can be turned into a burger with caramelised sauerkraut, or dumplings can be turned into a tasty dumpling burger. All you have to do is rethink the patty and you can offer a regional burger for outdoor dining using existing ingredients.
HOLDING TIMES
The time between preparation and serving is essential for outdoor catering. A longer holding time can lead to a loss of quality. Especially with the additional seating in the outdoor area, it is not always possible to keep the waiting time short. Burgers remain high quality even if they have to wait a short time before being served to the guest. In addition, the following products are suitable as quick-to-prepare side dishes: mozzarella fries, mozzarella sticks or onion rings and cauli wings as vegan alternatives.
Add vegan options to your menu with minimal effort!
When catering outdoors, be sure to consider vegetarian, vegan, and flexitarian diets. More and more people now describe themselves as flexitarians.*
Especially with larger groups of guests, there is likely to be a demand for meat-free dishes. If you don't offer vegetarian or vegan alternatives, you could lose guests.
Salomon FoodWorld offers vegan versions of the most popular dishes with its Green Heroes range. All you have to do is swap the patty; you can usually use all the other ingredients.
With just a few ingredients, you can keep the effort in the kitchen to a minimum and still delight your guests with a variety of recipes!
