Bar snacks are a staple around the world. Offering snacks at the bar delights guests, increases their length of time at the bar, and their overall spend. But not all menus are created equal. There are a few things to keep in mind when creating a memorable and profitable bar snack menu.
Your food menu should center around a core conceptual theme, with seasonal variations and rotating specials existing comfortably under a constant thematic umbrella. The same goes for your snack menu. Make sure you stay true to that central theme and also consider:
