Analysis: Benefits of Bundles

Bundles offer more than a great deal, they’re an experience that can elevate your brand and improve your efficiency.

1. Brand Curation
Bundling allows you to showcase your brand and create experiences that bring a touch of hospitality to the online ordering experience.

2. Kitchen Efficiency
The perfect bundle features items that are quick to prepare and have a balanced food cost. As more guests order bundles, the kitchen will become even more efficient.

Design: How-to Build Bundles

A bundle is defined as two or more menu items offered together. Thoughtfully curated bundles can be a restaurant’s secret sauce to increasing check size, profits, and guest satisfaction.

To practice the art of bundling, we created a guide with three simple steps:

1. Identify the Experience
2. Curate Menu Items
3. Bundle Pricing
