Consumers, whipsawed by pandemic shutdowns, stubborn inflation and economic uncertainty, have become more intentional with their spending and more likely to seek satisfying experiences for their food-away-from-home dollars.

Because the menu remains the primary means of making the customer connection, operators have embraced nonstop innovation as they reinvent menus to meet changing patron expectations. This fast-paced session will use plenty of real-world examples and hands-on recommendations to examine the critical elements needed to create a truly memorable menu experience for today's customer.
