Brunch feels like the place where guests go to explore and stretch their culinary comfort zone, so introducing an array of global influences across the brunch menu is a natural progression. Ground these introductions in comfort, building off core menu successes where possible.

• Add a global flair to an existing classic brunch menu item while delivering mainstream appeal.
• Go authentic and create a new brunch menu item that represents the true culture of the global dish.
• Highlight a global region or specific cuisine each month, incorporating those flavors/ingredients/dishes of the cultures into your brunch menu, generating guest anticipation and marketing buzz.
• Create a tapas-style menu, where guests can sample global eats in a small portion and shareable format. This encourages experimentation and adventurous dining.
• Keep your current brunch menu as is; however, pair complementary global beverages as a way of introducing global experiences.

The bottom line is that brunch is associated with craveability, which drives guest loyalty, so ensure global menu items nail that aspect.
