Why This Works: The Business Case for Smart Menus ~9 minutes

If your menu isn't working for every guest at the table, it is costing you more than you think. In this intro episode, Meredith Marin lays out the business case for plant-forward menu design, not as a trend, but as a practical revenue and margin opportunity.

In this episode:

• The Veto Vote: how one guest's dietary needs determines where an entire group eats, and what that means for your empty tables
• The math of missed revenue: what ten empty seats per day actually costs you over a year
• Why the absence of vegan requests does not mean there is no demand
• Why a well-made plant-based dish is the most inclusive item on any menu
• The cost advantage of plant-based proteins and what it does to your margins
• What the research says about who is actually reducing meat consumption (the answer may surprise you)
• What to expect across the eight episodes of Smart Menus
