MENU DEVELOPMENT


Menu Engineering / Product Mix

Deciding what you sell, when to sell it, and what price to sell it for are critical to driving a healthy check average and maximizing a profitable sales mix. BORA knows how to harness your core competencies and tune them to drive profits higher than you imagined you could. Restaurant consulting isn't about telling you what to do...it's about doing it then teaching you how. Our team's collective education includes some of America's finest culinary schools like The Culinary Institute of America and Johnson and Wales University. This, combined with decades of "Executive Chef" experience running kitchens across the country, gives us the edge you need to develop the RIGHT menu.

The Right Menu

We're passionate about food and about marrying your concept and community with a menu that will support them. We know the latest cooking trends and equipment being used so we are able to tailor a winning menu to suit you, your staff's abilities, and your community's needs.

Through-Put

What good is a compelling menu if the food takes forever getting to the table? We're obsessive about "time and motion", inventory velocity through cross utilization, and work load distribution. Do you have the equipment, space, and staff to handle your menu efficiently or did you inadvertently create a bottleneck? Do you have the right number of seats in your restaurant to match the volume capabilities of your kitchen and bar? We like to say, "putting a bigger bucket under the spigot doesn't make the water come out faster". What about your service model sequence? Is that "history of the restaurant" spiel slowing your profits and eating up your Guest's lunch hour? Will a $200 piece of equipment increase sales volume by 15 guests per shift? We structure your menu for maximum profit and Guest satisfaction.

    by Ray Camillo on 7/23/2010
    Asking a chef to choose one knife is like asking a golfer to pick one club to use for driving, chipping and putting…or asking a carpenter to choose one tool that is best for cutting, measuring and drilling.
  • Lunch isn’t just for Lunch anymore…
    by Ray Camillo on 6/11/2010
    What is lunch? Whether working in a garage, on Wall St. or in an operating room, we need fuel when we’re away from the nest. Around, oh say 11:30, we want something fast, easy to eat, cheap, and most of all, tasty. Since I can remember, the usual hand-to-maw fare has been burgers, pizza, [...]
  • Bananas
    by Ray Camillo on 2/13/2010
    Recently I was trying to figure out how to do a "banana creme brulee canoli"...it just sounds good...get some banana creme pie filling with fresh chunks of bananas and somehow candy the ends like a creme brulee without burning the canoli shell, then drizzle with honey.
  • Finding Napoleon
    by Ray Camillo on 10/28/2009
    If more servers could pull off the Napoleon Dynamite ‘tude and just stick to the facts, we’d all probably stop whining when we don’t get our butts kissed by a server or cashier.
