Ideas for Food and Beverage Promotions

Are you in the Food and Beverage Industry and can you share your great and creative idea for your resaurant business , please email to me to download into my blog .

I have a couple of great ideas that you may want to work on and tell me how it goes .

1) In Singapore , there is a food term called " TUNCH " which literally means a combination of BRUNCH and LUNCH = TUNCH . After a few months of promotions , people began to accept this word as half brunch and half lunch . It just sell itself especially for the weekends high tea crowd .

2) Many years back in a lounge , there was this beverage promotions where customers were encourage to mix their own cocktail drink with guide from a barman on duty . A special bar counter table ( next to the bar counter ) was set up . When a customer ordered a cocktail , he was given a recipe to mix his own choice of cocktail . The ingredients are available on this special table .
Many press write-ups were received and customers were happy as they learn how to to fix their own cocktail drinks at home too .

3 ) Having a poor weekends business in your restaurant , well start a weekend Champagne TUNCH with free flow of champagne and soft drink for children . But work out your cost first . People who drink alot can't eat and people who eat alot can't drink too much . Also in every country , there is a Drink and Drive Rule too , So it is quite save to organise this promotion and don't forget to get your beverage suppliers to sponsor some costs for this Food and Beverage Promotions .

Happy promtions ! And Cheers .

Healthy Menu

When planning a good healthy menu , consideration must be given to nutrition value of each type of food .
Every member of the family or customers has their own basic nutritional needs depending on age of children , sex and the level of physical activity of the consumers . The menu should also take into consideration the health or medical needs of each person .
So the basic food types are brokendown as :-
Group A - Bread , Rice , Cereal , Pasta
Group B - Fruits and Vegetables
Group C - Meat, Poultry, Fish, Beans, Nuts, Eggs, Dairy products like milk ,Cheese and Yogurt
Group D - Fats, Sweets , Oils

Group A supplies energy food and choice of rice like using brown Rice or wholewheat bread will provide additional nutritious value to the family .
Group B of fruits and vegetables are excellent suppliers of vitamins, irons, minerals and fibres especially the darker the colors the better like broccoli ,carrot , red and yellow peppers ,etc .
Group C with its lean meats or skinless chicken are excellent if they are grilled or baked and using less oil to cook . And best to use health friendly oil in cooking like the olive oil , canola , corn or sunflower oil as they are low in saturated fats . The dairy products are good source of protein and calcium .
The last group of Group D is the least healthy food and should be taken in moderation . They are also low in nutrition value.

For pregnant women and older folks , they should eat more fruits and vegetables , take plenty of water preferably warm water , control their alcohol intake and consume less oil and salt . The most important aspect of good health is to exercise regularly every day and stop smoking .
Good eating and stay healthy .And thank you for visiting www.foodandbeveragepromotions.blogspot.com

Interesting Menu

Last week , I was invited to a private party where I had the opportunity to meet some old friends .
What was interesting was the menu . The first course was Prawn Coctail with Advocado Sauce which was unusual and tasty . The second course was Grilled Chicken with Chocolate Sauce which was not sweet and doesn't kill the taste of the chicken.
Well , anyone has any interesting menu that I can post for them in my website as a sharing idea with others .
Next week , I will touch on some healthy menu .
