Sample Restaurant Dinner Menu

A restaurant dinner menu should include a variety of items, many of which cross over to the lunch menu. By using ingredients on several different menu items, you can keep your inventory low, reduce spoilage waste, and maintain low food costs.

Along with the dinner menu, a new restaurant could add an appetizer menu, dessert menu and vegetarian menu to expand their selections.
