I’m planning my holiday menu for my deli, and honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. For the past few years, I’ve just added a couple of special items, but this time I want to do something different. I’ve had customers asking for more seasonal sandwiches and snacks, but figuring out what really sells when it gets cold is a bit tricky.
Last year, I offered a holiday turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce, but it didn’t move like I expected. On the flip side, my chili always seems to fly out the door, so I need to balance keeping the classics with new additions. I know people love warmth during winter-so I’m wondering if anyone has tips on what have worked for them over the holidays? Maybe some low-lift ideas that can fit into my existing workflow or some good patterns you’ve seen?
I’d love to hear what’s been a hit in your places, so I don’t end up left with trays of sandwiches that nobody wants! Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
