 Traditional Menus Still Matter

QR codes that lead to an online menu are a terrific way for the restaurant to save on printing costs every time there’s a menu change, but they should have some good old-fashioned paper menus too. There are people in this world who don’t have a smartphone and that doesn’t make them unintelligent. Some people don’t want to depend on their phone for everything or maybe they’d just rather not use it. A tangible, tactile menu is appreciated by many guests and every restaurant should be prepared to dust one off if it’s requested.

Plates 

Too many restaurants are using random objects to serve food on and, and as obvious as it may seem, every restaurant should have plates. The butter board trend has come and gone and people want to see their food served on something they know can be run through a dishwasher. Nobody needs a burger and fries served on a cutting board honed from the wood of an olive tree. All that is is an opportunity for half of the fries to slide right onto the table. Once when I was a cater waiter, I served appetizers on a skateboard. Creative, sure. Appetizing? Absolutely not.

Kill grass with cardboard

With this time- and money-saving hack, you can use cardboard from online shopping deliveries as sheet composting to create a new garden bed. To convert a section of lawn into a low-maintenance planting bed, start in the fall by covering a recently mowed patch of grass with cardboard, overlapping the sheets like shingles to block sunlight. Next, lay about 2 inches of compost or grass clippings over the cardboard, followed by an equally thick layer of dry leaves or wood chips.

The Right Barstool

In my opinion, the bar is the best place to sit in a restaurant, but I need a barstool that has something to lean back on. While a backless stool might provide a cleaner aesthetic, what am I supposed to slump up against after my second frozen Margarita? A barstool with no back is an accident waiting to happen while a barstool with a back provides a place to hang a coat in the inexcusable absence of hooks.
