They reduce decision fatigue for guests, speed up ordering, and allow your kitchen to focus on fewer, more profitable dishes. You can also consider adding premium items like steak, seafood, or sparkling wine to increase average check sizes.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>2. Offer Add-Ons<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guests are already in the mood to celebrate. Make it easy for them to splurge with thoughtful add-ons such as desserts, wine pairings, floral centerpieces, or even a take-home treat for Mom.
