🧾 How to Increase the Average Bill in a Restaurant in Spain: 5 Practical Tips

The average bill of a restaurant is one of the most important indicators of the establishment's efficiency. It directly affects profits and shows how the menu, staff and service work.

🍷 1. Use effective upselling (Upselling and Cross-selling)

Train your team to subtly recommend items that complement the main order well. This could be:

• a glass of wine with the dish

• tapas set for two

• mini dessert after the main course

💡 Key point: the right time for recommendations is before placing an order or when serving the main dish.

📋 2. Optimize your menu structure

The menu is a tool that directly influences customer behavior .

To increase your average bill, pay attention to:

• visual highlighting of the most profitable dishes (frame, icon, photo)

• clear logic of the menu structure

• the ability to easily add extras (extra ingredients, sauces, drinks)

📊 🔥 FireMenu helps you track popular and profitable items – to adapt the menu based on real data.

⏱️ 3. Offer limited offers

Limited time offers create excitement and encourage guests to order more:

• Dish of the day

• Cocktail of the week

• Seasonal tasting

🕒 Works both as a marketing tool and as a way to increase the average bill.

🎁 4. Improve your delivery - increase your value

Good presentation creates an emotional impression – and often encourages guests to spend a little more.

Examples:

• aesthetic tapas boards

• individual serving of desserts
