Winter is the perfect time to warm up your menu with hearty, seasonal dishes. Here’s how you can craft a winter menu that works across all service channels—dine-in, takeaway, delivery, and catering.

1. Offer Comfort Food and Seasonal Dishes

Think soups, stews, and roasts—classic comfort food for cold weather. These items not only appeal to customers but also showcase seasonal produce like root vegetables and winter greens.

Why it works: Winter comfort food brings warmth and satisfaction, attracting customers seeking hearty, seasonal meals.

2. Create Winter-Themed Add-Ons

Offer cosy add-ons like mulled wine, hot chocolate, or warm bread. Encourage customers to customise their meal with seasonal extras through your QR Order & Pay system.

Why it works: Add-ons increase average order value and provide customers with that extra wintery touch they crave.

3. Promote Delivery-Friendly Winter Items

Not all dishes travel well—focus on winter items that maintain their quality during delivery, such as casseroles, curries, or baked pastas. Use storekit’s online ordering system to make these dishes available for delivery and takeaway.

Why it works: Offering delivery-friendly options ensures customers enjoy the same quality experience at home.

4. Introduce Seasonal Catering Packages

Adapt your winter menu for catering by offering family-style meals, holiday platters, or festive desserts. Promote these packages for events and gatherings.

Why it works: Seasonal catering options appeal to customers planning events, helping you tap into additional revenue streams.

5. Rotate Winter Specials Throughout the Season

Keep things exciting by rotating specials—offer something new each week to maintain customer interest. Highlight these limited-time offers on your QR Order & Pay menu and through your delivery channels.

Why it works: Regular menu updates keep customers engaged and give them a reason to return throughout the winter.

A well-planned winter menu can create buzz, increase orders, and boost sales across all channels. Using storekit’s online ordering system, you can seamlessly update your winter offerings and promote them for dine-in, takeaway, delivery, and catering.
