As a restaurant owner, there aren't many things more challenging than keeping a steady stream of customers coming in through the front door. Unfortunately, these kinds of challenges can eventually arrest the cash flow of your business, which can cause all kinds of problems in the long run. About three months ago, I decided that it would be a good idea to start focusing more on my own restaurant so that I could improve things. I started small, by changing the way that our team handled a few things, and then eventually worked towards reworking the entire menu. This blog is all about making your restaurant more profitable.
When you think of ramen, you likely picture a steaming, hot bowl of broth that is filled with noodles, meat, and vegetables. Traditional ramen is a go-to dish for many people, but it's not the only option that your local ramen restaurant has available. One option that you'll find on a lot of menus is chilled ramen. This dish varies between restaurants, but one way to describe it is a bowl of ramen without the broth. It contains an assortment of noodles, meat, and vegetables, but has dressing instead of broth. Here are three benefits of ordering chilled ramen.
Good For Hot Days
A lot of people love sitting down to a bowl of traditional ramen when it's cold or rainy, but this dish might not be as appealing on the hottest days of the summer. When you're already feeling warm, you might not crave a hot soup. Chilled ramen can be an enticing option on summer days. You'll get to enjoy the diverse tastes that ramen bowls provide, but without consuming the broth that will heat you up. Whether you're inside a restaurant or sitting on its patio during the summer, you may feel more tempted to order chilled ramen than traditional ramen.
Easy To Eat
Traditional ramen is fairly easy to eat, but some people may find that the chilled variation of this dish is an easier choice at different times. If you're the type of person who occasionally spills soup when you eat it, you might feel reluctant about ordering traditional ramen during the workweek because of concerns about staining your clothing. Because it doesn't contain broth, you may feel more confident about eating a bowl of chilled ramen without spilling any on your clothing.
More Portable
Some people enjoy ordering chilled ramen because of its portability. This is a dish that is easy to eat in several different scenarios. If you visit a ramen restaurant that offers take-out, you can easily grab a bowl of chilled ramen and take it with you to eat whenever and wherever you want. You might not take the same approach with hot ramen, as you'd want to eat it soon after ordering it so that it doesn't cool down. If you visit a dine-in restaurant for lunch and can't finish your order of chilled ramen, you can ask to take the rest with you to enjoy as an afternoon snack. Because this dish isn't served hot, you don't need to go through the hassle of heating it up before finishing it.
