Sharable Plates
Inspired with Sargento Cheese
The biggest news in menu making is small and very
shareable - small plates that is. Taking their cue from
Spanish tapas, these smaller bites can come in many
forms including appetizers, finger foods, bar snacks,
starters and shareables.
Attract your core restaurant target (21-40) by letting
them sample multiple flavors in smaller shareable
portions. Sargento can show you how cheese can make
your small plates stand above the crowd.
Reinvent Your Menu with
Small, Sharable Plates
When it comes to small plates, Sargento cheese is the
tie that binds the menu. A compliment of cheese
increases cravability, perceived value and menu depth
while easing the pressure in the back of the house:
• Takes the pressure off front and back of the house
operations with hot and cold pre-prepped favorites
and fast ala minute compositions.
• Build sustenance in your bar as a natural compliment
to wine, beer and cocktails helping boost beverage
sales.
• Customize with multiple interchangeable, crave
worthy varieties and cheese blends.
• With Sargento cheese at the center, utilizing other
surplus pantry ingredients, perishables, and entree
trim can anchor small plates in delectable, novel and
cost saving ways with enhanced perceived value.
Here are just a few things you can do with
cheese on your small plates menu
