The secret of a successful food display is its design
Take a moment and reflect on childhood dinners around the family dining room table. You mom may have been a wonderful chef, or she may have been queen of the canned veggie and tuna casserole. But what really made the difference between a meal you gobbled down with glee and a meal you tried to feed the dogs was not its gourmet preparation. No, it was how appealing the dish looked when sitting before you on the dinner plate.
People first eat with their eyes, then their mouths
Professional chefs and professional moms know it all to well – to get people, adults and kids alike, to try their food, they’re going to have to present it in an appealing way. No one wants to eat food that looks lumpy, watery or charred. Conversely, people are more likely to taste new and unfamiliar foods if they look fresh and are plated with a keen eye for design. Take the bento box craze for example. To get kids to eat their boxed school lunches, parents have turned to transforming lunch meat, bread and vegetables into epic stories that resemble favorite television characters, nature scenes and more.
Your food display’s success depends on great presentation
If you own or manage a food service business, you need to ensure your food display is aesthetically pleasing in order to get customers to want to try your food. However, presentation can sometimes be overlooked when trying to put out large quantities of food in a short amount of time. This is a huge mistake. Luckily, with a little careful planning, you can create stunning food displays your customers will want to eat from, reducing waste while creating value for your catering/hospitality business or store. Here are some helpful tips:
1. Take a moment to consider your location or event theme and integrate design elements throughout your food display. You can decorate the table your food display is on, but avoid placing design accessories in the food itself.
2. Clearly label all dishes in your food display so customers know exactly what they’re eating.
3. Select food display trays and containers that are clean, simplistic and place your food in the spotlight. Be sure to choose food displays that match the size of the food you are presenting and contrast the food display and food colors to create a visually pleasing effect.
