If you’re really ready to grab peoples’ attention, menu mashups may be a great way to go.
A “mashup” is what you get when you combined menu items or ingredients that may not seem to go together — but provide a fun and funny way to engage customers and brand yourself.
That’s what we talk about on this episode of Table Touch: The Talk Show for Restaurant Leaders.
We’ve setup a quick-and-easy page with a few links to crazy (awesome?) ideas for mashups you could try in your restaurant, but listen to the podcast for a variety of dos and don’ts.

Have you ever launched your own mashup?
One of the great advantages of Fast Casual restaurants is their ability to let customers personalize their orders from the very get-go. And our last conversation with Stacked co-founder and co-CEO Paul Motenko highlighted this feature of their restaurant concept.
But have you given it thought for your concept, whether you’re a QSR, Casual Dining, or even a Fine Dining establishment? If so, we want to hear your story! Call us at (888) 279-9918 and tell us how it went or how it’s going.
In this podcast, we talk about ways Slater’s 50/50, Bruxie’s, Blaze Pizza, PizzaRev, and many others leverage the concept of a mashup in order to delight, or shock, or amuse, or engage guests.
