Create unique paninis to take your lunch spot to the next level
People looking to dine out these days often have a lot of options. Most towns, big or small, have a few restaurants that must compete for the same customer base and may even carry a number of similar dishes. If you look at your own area, you may find two or three similarly themed restaurants on the same block.
What this means for you as a business owner is that using your restaurant equipment in an innovative way may help you attract more business. While many restaurants and delis offer cold sandwiches on their lunch menu, using your grill to make hot sandwiches may be the best way to stand out from the crowd.
Consider replicating popular dinner items inside a panini for a crowd-pleasing favorite. Instead of a boring turkey sandwich, offer customers a pressed thanksgiving feast by using roasted turkey meat rather than sliced and topping it with stuffing, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce. Grill and serve with homemade gravy on the side for an outside-the-box lunch item.
Next time you heat up your commercial grill, consider making more than just burgers.
