Since most restaurants will not be able to attract customers without a menu, menu planning is absolutely essential in terms of both gaining the customers’ hearts and serving marketing purposes, except for those places with unique styles of serving food. Menu planning not only provides the restaurant a menu to inform their customers about what they are serving, but also the most important fundamental for other processes to go well as planned, such as:

• It helps a business keep things under their control in terms of preparing the ingredients, the types of food, the number of dishes, the cooking process, and the time of serving food to the customers, etc;
• It helps keep you updated with what needs to be done and for how long it needs to be done;
• It helps you prepare all the food and ingredients on time with their best quality as possible;
• It helps you save time cooking a wide range of food in a long period of time of a day;
• It helps keep your budget in check and under control;
• It helps you avoid any unnecessary waste by keeping the amount of ingredients in check with the amount of food that will be served;
• It helps you to have an immediate backup in case any issues related to lacking ingredients happen.
