    11.6% Increase on Best Selling ItemsUsing a sales mix, we found that 8 menu items accounted for 60% of total salesSo we took an 11.6% price increase on only those items and no others.

    Cost analysis: Daily sales were $1,900. 60% of the sales would account for $1in sales per day, so if we raise the price by 11.6%, it would total sales of $ 1,273

    This is additional income of:$133.00 per day (7%) = $4,001.00 per month = $48,0017.00 per year

    All from just raising prices on only 8 items.

    7% Across the Board IncreaseWe raised the entire menu with a 7%ncrease across the board. As you can seeby using the same menu you hardlynotice the price change. However whenyou raise every price at one time youhave a greater chance that customers

    notice the change.

    What is the best strategy for raising menu pricesRaising the prices on your menu on a regular basis is essential tostay ahead of inflation and keep your operation profitable. Butwhat is the best way to do this? Is it better to raise all your priceat once? Or is a gradual, targeted approach more effective?

    We have provided examples below of two different tactics. Withthe example on the lower left, we have raised the price of everymenu item 7%. As you can see, the price increases are not obvi-ous, but using this approach does increase the likelihood that yo

    customers will notice the change.

    The example on the lower right shows a more subtle approach,determining which are the best selling items and only raising theprice on those items by 11.6%, leaving the rest of the menuunchanged. The net effect is the same as raising every item by7%, but this is a better strategy to minimize the impact in con-sumers minds.

    We love Utah Mountain Red Trouts firm texture, its delicate flavor,

    and its gorgeous pink flesh, which here contrasts beautifully with thegreen pesto an all-purpose sauce that would taste great with justabout any type of fish or pasta.

    Makes 6 servings.

    For Pesto:1 small dried chipotle chile (optional), wiped clean1 garlic clove2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley leaves3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil3 tablespoons walnuts, lightly toasted1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

    For Trout:2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided3 (1-pound) red trout fillets2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes

    Garnish: finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

    Make Pesto:If using chile, heat a dry heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat untilhot, then toast chile briefly on all sides, pressing flat with tongs, until slightlysoftened, about 30 seconds total. Soak chile in hot water to cover 4 minutes,then drain.

    With motor running, drop garlic into a food processor and process until finelychopped. Add parsley, oil, nuts, sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and chile (ifusing) and pure until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in lemon juice.

    Bake Trout:Preheat oven to 350F with rack in middle. Brush bottom of a large shallow

    baking pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Put fillets, skin sides down, in baking pan anddrizzle with lemon juice and remaining tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with sea salt,red-pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

    Bake fish until just cooked thorough, 12 to 15 minutes (depending on thick-ness). Serve fish with pesto.

    Claims like guaranteed tender andalways tender show up on morebeef packages all the time. Somemenus promote similar claims. So, ten-

    derness must be king with the con-sumer, right?Not so fast, says Mark Miller, San

    Antonio Live Stock Show distinguishedprofessor of meat science at Texas TechUniversity.

    Beef can fail due to flavor, too, hesays. Once theres enough tendernessacross the industry, then we have tofocus on the flavor.

    Recent Texas Tech Universityresearch shows that 1,440 consumersplaced more value on flavor than on

    tenderness. The grand summary saysflavor held 59% of the importance indetermining if a cut of beef met theparticipants satisfaction level.Tenderness came in second at 25%,followed by juiciness.

    They varied a little, but flavor andtenderness were the most important inevery demographic, he says. The

    research compared USDA Choice andUSDA Select in three markets: the EastCoast as represented by theWashington, D.C., and Boston areas;

    Lubbock, Texas; and Phoenix, Ariz. Italso relied on several test groups ofpeople, categorized by income, gender,age and education.

    You might think consumers withlimited income are easier to please. Notso, the study found. People in thelow-income group determine satisfac-tion based on these same factors,Miller says. All beef consumers cantell beef palatability in the same way.

    Miller says results of a 2005National Cattlemens Beef Association

    survey indicate that about 90% of allbeef meets the acceptable level fortenderness. Thats determined byWarner-Bratzler shear force; beef cutsthat require more than 4.9 kilograms offorce to shear are a problem for mostconsumers.

    When 90% of the beef in the U.S.meets tenderness thresholds, flavor is

    going to become the most importantdriver, he says. Although moreresearch needs to be done on whatfactors influence beefs taste, Miller has

    an idea of where to start.We know marbling has a big effecton flavor, he says. Marbling is the tinywhite flecks of taste fat distributedthroughout a cut of beef. A higherdegree of marbling increases the fla-vor, Miller explains.

    The Texas Tech take-home point, hesays, is that consumers dont just wanttender beef. They want tasty, tenderbeef. Assuring tenderness is important,but it does little good if the meat doesnot also satisfy the consumer with ade-

    quate marbling.Modest or higher marbling is the

    hallmark of the Certified Angus Beef

    Carl Weyant, a native New Yorker, began working

    in kitchens early in his life. At 28 he brought his

    youth and enthusiasm to the New York

    Restaurant School where he spent two years

    studying under Neil Becker. Soon after he was

    done with school he began managing kitchens at

    fine dining establishments in New York City.

    Then one day in 1999, Carl saw an ad for a Chef

    position at Solitude Mountain Resort on the inter-

    net. Soon afterward Weyant was busy hustling

    food up and down the mountain.Today you can find Carl Weyant at the helm of

    his own ship. Meshing fine and casual dining

    with Jazz and Blues musicians from around the

    nation. Located a short five mile drive up

    Emigration canyon, you will find the quaint diner

    The Sun and Moon Caf. Established in July

    2003, Weyant has carved his distinctive style into

    a unique eating experience in an otherwise

    upscale part of the Salt Lake Valley.

    The menu at The Sun and Moon offers nightly

    specials, burgers, salads and much more. This is

    the kind of place where you can sit down to a

    garlic burger with a pint of beer, or filet mignon

    and a fine bottle of wine. Carl is truly a talented

    chef and the patrons that frequent his establish-

    ment will agree.

    The Sun and Moon has just finished some

    major renovations, if you have not been in for

    some time it would be a great time to go back.

    New paint, lights, trim as well as a new menu

    await you. So if you are looking to catch a

    great live Jazz show or are looking for

    something that is outside the norm, makethe short trip up the canyon and visit Carl

    SYSCO Intermountain: Your source for white whole wheat breads

    SYSCO Intermountain, in cooperation with Gerards, has developed a line of white wheat products, which

    have the flavor of wheat bread but the health benefits of whole grain bread. These products combine the

    taste that consumers already love with the health benefits of high-fiber, whole-grain breads.

    White Wheat Breads

    Rising Demand for Whole Grains

    Whole grain products play a far more significant rolein the consumer diet than is often realized. The vast

    majority of consumers feel whole grain products are

    healthier than non whole grain products. 58% say

    their diet has resulted in more whole grain and they

    eat it often/all the time. There a strong base of con-

    sumers (43%) who already eat the RDA of whole

    grains. Additionally, more consumers (41%) are

    increasing their intake of whole grain products.

    However, some consumers are inhibited by what they

    perceive as poor taste and texture.

    Market research tells us that consumers:

    Know whole grain products are healthier

    Would eat more of it if it were more available

    Want it specifically in bread and rolls

    Want it in CDRs / upscale restaurants

    Would eat more of it if it tasted better

    Are very interested in White Wheat for taste

    The market research indicates that there is a

    demand for more, better tasting whole grain

    products.

    Bread is the most highly recognized whole grain product, providing an opportunity for

    restaurateurs to address this growing trend for their customers. Restaurants can capital-

    ize on the healthy diet trend by providing whole grain breads and other healthy menu

    choices, The majority of consumers dont currently associate CDRs, FDRs and QSRs

    with healthy whole grain offerings, representing a major opportunity to differentiate a

    restaurant vs. the competition.

    MacCools Public House? Authentic and

    welcoming...an Irish Pub-style restau-

    rant built in Dublin and reconstructed

    in Utah. MacCools is an eclectic gath-

    ering place where house created food

    has been influenced by the Irish, yet

    directed towards American comfort.

    MacCools first arrived in Foothill

    Village, Salt Lake City, in December

    2004. The art of having fun with

    music, food and family all together, or

    craic (pronounced crack), as the Irish

    call it, is embodied here by these

    ideals.

    The name MacCools comes from a

    legendary Irish warrior, with the gift of

    infinite wisdom acquired from asalmon. His name was Finn MacCool,

    and as a young boy he met a seer who

    had dedicated years of his life to catch-

    ing the Salmon of Knowledge. Legend

    had it that the first person to taste the

    salmon would be blessed with all the

    knowledge in the world. And so it was

    that while Finn was there, the seer

    caught the salmon. With much joy, he

    immediately put it on a spit, entrusting

    Finn to cook it, but warning him not to

    taste it. Like any watchful cook, after a

    time Finn went to test for temperature

    by using his thumb. Naturally, he

    burned himself, and to ease the pain,

    he stuck his blistered thumb into his

    mouth and thus became the first per-

    son to taste the salmon. Ever after, if

    Finn needed to know something, he

    put this thumb into his mouth and the

    knowledge came to him.

    When in Foothill Village, Layton or

    South Jordan, Ireland is only footsteps

    away. Once you open the red door, the

    warmth of the Emerald Isle truly

    emanates from the unique furniture,

    fixtures and wall tones. Depending on

    your mood or who youre with,MacCools can accommodate your

    needs with its four distinctive seating

    areas. Join family by the fireplace in

    the country cottage or business associ-

    ates in the quiet victorian section.

    Bring friends to dine in the rustic

    Gaelic furniture or relax in the pub

    shop with darts, shuffleboard and TVs.

    Many of the furnishings and bric n

    brac, or artifacts are directly from

    Ireland.

    MacCools combines great atmos-

    phere with great food! House created

    and house roasted selections yield

    down home comfort cooking. Choose

    pub favorites like fish n chips or

    corned beef. Of course, there are

    unique appetizers, hearty soups, cre-

    ative salads and sandwiches to enjoy

    with distinctive beverages. And dont

    leave before partaking in one of our

    signature desserts! So cheers...relax

    and discover the friends you have not

    met!
