The Importance of Chocolate
Chocolate is not just for Valentine’s Day. It’s something we desire year-round, so why not have chocolate specials on your menu every week? Did you know that chocolate significantly reduces theta activity in the brain, which is associated with relaxation? This is why we crave chocolate when we are stressed.
Two-thirds of chocolate is consumed between meals and 22% of all chocolate consumed between 8pm and midnight. Therefore, having an after-dinner menu featuring chocolate based desserts, chocolate cocktails, or even placing complementary chocolates on the table with the check is ready are all things that will allow customers to get that fix after their meal and to relax before heading home for the night. Having table tents with your dessert options and after dinner cocktails with images visible to guests will increase the chances of them ordering because it’s the first thing they’ll see when they sit down.
