I’ll be explaining why restaurants take the menu away in a restaurant.

Whenever we dine out we may occasionally come across a restaurant that removes the items that displays and describe the food you’ll be having there.

You order your food and notice after you’re finished the waiter or their assistant may remove the menus for your group.

But have you ever asked yourself why the menus seem to get taken away so quickly?

It seems to happen with the higher end luxury spots.

Let’s look into why that is.

why do restaurants take the menus away

They want to eliminate clutter at your table. There’s a limited amount of menus, and with that in mind they have to still rotate them in a timely manner. They also care to learn more about your choices and thoughts about what they have to offer. After you order what you want, restaurants are already looking for ways to improve their menu. Items get added, some removed, one of the most popular attractions for restaurants worldwide are the removal of sampler platters.

why are restaurant samplers going away

Kitchen workers are getting the break here when restaurants decide to take your favorite sampler off the menu.

The reason as to why this helps the kitchen workers is because it makes their job much easier with organizing and getting food out faster.

With a variety of samples on one plate, different food finishes cooking at different times which can mess up the speed of the order.

Am example would be, a batch of egg rolls may take 20 minutes while an order order of sandwich sliders may take 45 minutes.

I find that most of the restaurants that offered a sampler option usually have a bigger than average menu as well.

The option of having a sampler may be nice to offer from a consumer perspective, but it may cause too many problems for the owner to serve comfortably.

Final Thoughts

There’s many little things that happen in the restaurant industry to improve you experience with each visit.

I believe that many restaurants take a lot of different things in account when designing the theme of their establishment.

On top of the color, aesthetics and other decorations, the actual contents play a role in how they’re perceived.

One of the most popular things they like to adjust is the pricing of their items.

It’s interesting to reflect on the small things that hospitable services look to improve when serving the public.
