Identification and evaluation of items
Discuss about the Strategic Food and Beverage Management.
Based on the menu for the Tandori Spice Restaurant that is available on their website, it is quite apparent that it has enabled the hotel to not only effectively plan for the various foodstuffs for their clients but it has also enabled it to become successful through effective food as well as beverage operations in the hospitality industry (Hyun & Perdue, 2017). The major purpose of this task is to review a menu for the Tandori Spice restaurant, an outlet that deals in various types of foods and beverages which are offered at different prices. Based on the menu review that is available from the website of the Tandori Spice Restaurant, it is quite apparent that the organization is keen to provide food and beverage to individuals who are dining on their own as well as to families, colleagues, and even friends because they have the most perfect settings. The firm encourages potential customers to visit them so that they can have memorable and amazing dining experiences offered in perfect settings (Noone, Enz & Glassmire, 2017). Based on the website of the Tandori Spice Restaurant, it is quite apparent that the firm is keen on advertising its services through the use of numerous social media platforms which are Facebook, Instagram and even on Google.
A Review of the Tandori Spice Restaurant and the Identification of its Current Menu Concepts
Tandori Spice restaurant offers its customers a wide range of foods and beverages and among them include fish, chicken, vegetables, Naan breads, and Samosas.
An Identification and evaluation of items, the classifications of the menu, the variety of the items and their nutritional values
The menu at this restaurant is classified under seafood, vegetarian curries, Biriyanis, Accompaniments, Salads, Naan Breads, Rice, Deserts, and, chicken curries, lamb curries, beef curries, and beverages. On the left part of the Tandori’s Spice restaurant, the dine in comprises of various offers an these include among others the take away, wine list, lunch, chef special, and functions. The hotel also gives it customers an opportunity to book their tables and also a banquet menu. In order to book their tables, clients have the number of the outlet on the website where they can call (Dev, Hamilton & Rust, 2017).
The identification of potential issues in Tandori Spice Restaurant Menu Design
One potential issue is the lack of the outlet to inform their clients where the restaurant is located and how they can get there. In addition to that, the menu does not have the pictorial image on how the hotel looks like so as to make consumers or customers see how it is (Raguseo, Neirotti & Paolucci, 2017).
A proposal for an Alternative Menu Concept for Tandori Spice Restaurant’s menu concept
An alternative concept for the Tandori Spice restaurant menu concept should ensure that any meal offered by the outlet has a balanced diet. This is quite essential because it will seek to ensure that any client visiting the outlet is treated to a meal that has a balanced diet (Wood, 2018). Moreover, it is also important to ensure that the menu on the website has the picture or pictures of the outlet to make those who have never been there to see it and want to visit it.
A Justification behind the proposed redesigning of Tandori Spice Restaurant’s Menu
The redesigning of the menu will not only ensure that clients or customers at the outlets are treated to sumptuous meals but also those which have a balanced diet. In addition to that, having photos of the outlet will create curiosity for potential clients who have never had an opportunity to visit it (Baek & Ok, 2017).
