Getty Images. Bringing kids to a restaurant became controversial at some point. But with outdoor dining, it doesn’t have to be.

The plan was not to bring my children, ages 1 and 3, to enjoy lunch with me. But it was the summer of 2020 and in those demoralizing early pandemic months, we weren’t yet comfortable with a sitter.

It’s been a tough year for the foodservice industry. Restaurants have faced labor shortages, supply and equipment shortages, and climbing food prices, with no past playbook on how to navigate the crisis. In other words, best practices are being created in-the-moment and shared with others as collaborative ideas. Even as COVID-19 has gotten under more control, restaurant operators are still struggling with the impact it has had on the industry and on their businesses.

When you open a restaurant, you want your food to speak for itself rather than have to upsell it to your customers. Upselling, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. It has much better potential to drive average order value as opposed to pushy sales pitches to customers. When one upsells, one recommends menu combinations to customers based on their specific tastes.
