#2 (Load) Your Fries
Almost every bar/restaurant serves fries. Take your French fries one step further by adding as many things on top of them as possible. Offer them as an app and they are guaranteed to be a success
#3 Wrap Things In Bacon

#4 Use Unique Ingredients
One way to take a relatively generic dish to the next level would be to add an out-of-the-ordinary ingredient to make the flavors standout such as a sweet breakfast cereal. People love seeing a surprising element as a garnish or key ingredient.
#5 The Bigger The Better
Sharing is caring, and in this case, can increase your profits. Appetizers are great for guests to pick at; however, when you bring an already-loved dish into family-size sharing portion, you can’t go wrong. Another food option you’ll find groups ordering just to see what it looks like.
#6 Garnish the S**t Out of Your Drinks

#8 Spruce Up Original Favorites
You can’t go wrong serving the original favorites. If you have macaroni and cheese on your menu, make sure it has a ittle-something-extra to make it food porn worthy -- such as bacon, veggies or multiple types of cheese.
#9 End on the Right Note
The majority of your guests probably have a pretty insane sweet tooth. If at least one of your desserts has a wow-factor, your restaurant and dessert will definitely stick in the back of their minds.
