4 Ways to Liven Up Your Restaurant Menu for Summer

Two women laughing outside of restaurant The food and beverage industry is constantly evolving, and customers are always looking for something new to not only satisfy their hunger, but also beautify their Instagram feed. If you’re looking for ways to update a summer restaurant menu, check out some tips from the crew at Quik n’ Crispy

Embrace the season.

Work in seasonal (and even local) produce whenever you can for a true taste of summer. Our greaseless air fryer makes menu items like zucchini sticks and onion rings a breeze to cook and healthier, too! Dress up an existing dish (and create an upsell opportunity) with fresh add-ons like chopped herbs, salsas, and sweet summer tomatoes, peppers, peaches, and the like.  

Evoke the ocean (even if you’re nowhere near it!)

Everyone wants to be at the beach during these hot summer days, but whether your restaurant is at the beach or far from it, seafood is a great addition to your summer menu. Check out our menu to explore seafood options from beer battered cod to shrimp and many more. 

Make them look twice.

Do it for the ‘gram! Instagram, that is. Bump up the visual appeal and the flavor of your dishes with garnishes, sauces, and creative serving presentations. A zigzag of sriracha or aoili can add that special finishing touch to air fried entrees, while a drizzle of fruit puree, dusting of powdered sugar, or swirl of whipped cream can elevate any dessert to a photo op!

Heat it up.

It might seem counter-intuitive to add spicy dishes to your summer restaurant menu, but the science doesn’t lie! According to food scientists, spicy foods can cool you down by making you sweat, which is your body’s natural cooling system.
