More flavours do not always create a better menu. Each flavour needs freezer space, staff knowledge and enough sales to justify keeping it.
Start with Your Customer
Consider whether most customers visit for breakfast, coffee, family meals or dessert. Choose flavours that support the main reason they visit.
Include One Easy Starting Choice
An Original waffle can provide a flexible base for sweet or savoury pairings. Add one or two more distinctive flavours after testing demand.
Test with Existing Drinks and Toppings
Taste every full combination. A waffle flavour that is pleasant alone may not work with a very sweet sauce or strong drink.
Use a Controlled Trial
Explore a trial or mixed selection, offer limited choices and record sales. Ask customers which flavour they would order again, not only which sample they like.
Review Stock Movement
Compare flavour sales weekly. Keep more of reliable choices and consider rotating slow flavours as specials instead of permanent items.
Cafés can discuss current flavour and supply options through the Waffle5 business solutions page.
