Listing both without explaining the choice
Give each item a clear menu description and role. If two lines appear similar to customers, staff need a simple way to explain the difference using the supplier's verified product information.

Adding Quiche and Frittata to a Cafe Menu
Plan quiche and frittata as distinct menu choices instead of adding them as duplicate cabinet lines.
Quiche and frittata can broaden a savoury menu beyond pies and rolls, but the two categories still need a clear place in the offer. Plan around portion format, service time, storage and the dietary information customers ask for.
Check the current product specification and handling instructions for each item. Do not infer ingredients, allergen status or suitability from a product name alone.
2
Assuming breakfast and lunch demand match
Record sales by service period before deciding how much to prepare. A product that works well in one window may not need the same display space or replenishment plan in another.
3
Treating dietary questions as a guess
Use the current ingredient and allergen information supplied for the exact product. If a customer asks about an ingredient or dietary claim and the information is unclear, pause and confirm it rather than promising.
4
Ignoring the serve format
Check the number of portions, packaging and presentation method before adding a product to a dine-in or takeaway menu. The operational fit matters as much as the category name.

- Compare the verified product specifications side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can quiche and frittata be offered on the same menu?
They can be, if each serves a distinct menu role and the venue can store, prepare and present both correctly. Use product specifications and sales data rather than assuming one will sell because the other does.
How should staff answer ingredient questions?
Keep current supplier specifications accessible to the team. If the information does not answer the question, tell the customer you will verify it rather than giving an unconfirmed answer.
