A taste of the future
Article Abstract:
Restaurants are discovering that they have surrendered enormous amounts of revenue to the cafes that are meeting or surpassing customers' expectations for coffee beverages served away from home. The specialty coffee chain is developing its own signature line of salads, soups and sandwiches. The most exciting coffee trend is the growth of coffee as a cold beverage. Many specialty coffee chains across Canada have introduced their own signature iced cappucino drinks, and restaurants are following suit.

Perking up profits
Article Abstract:
Restaurants should approach coffee much the same as the specialty cafes by offering a coffee-drinking experience. Providing more coffee varieties and introducing condiments such as brown or raw sugar and different types of milk will also boost sales. Adding flavored liqueurs to coffee can also increase profitability as restaurants can charge up to $6 for the drinks. However, operators have to understand who their target market is and determine the appropriate type of coffee for their business.

Beyond the bag
Article Abstract:
Restaurant operrators could easily improve their tea offerings without a great deal of expense or effort. The Tea Council of Canda recommends a core menu that consists of Traditional Black (Orange Pekoe), Green tea, Earl Grey, English Breakfast and one or two selections of Herbal tea. For an expanded menu, English and Irish Breakfast blends, two or three Origin of Estate teas such as Darjeeling, three to five herbals and two to three decaffeinated blends should be added.
