In this episode of Dennis Knows Food we're sharing tips to help prepare your kitchen for the fall foodservice season.
Foodservice operators take tremendous pride in their kitchens and equipment. Now that we’re through the hectic pace of the summer season now is a good time to clean equipment and ensure everything is in proper working order. And, if you’re looking for some fall-food inspiration we’ve assembled a list on our website featuring some of our favorite fall items. There’s even a section dedicated to all things pumpkin, with over a dozen different pumpkin related products. This week saw the celebration of National Coffee Day on Friday Sept. 29th – and this week’s foodie fact is inspired by coffee. The first "what" was invented at The University of Cambridge to let people know if the coffee pot was full or not. Find out what it was in this episode!

In this episode of Dennis Knows Food, hungry diners want to know "What's new?"
For operators, raising the awareness of new items through any available channel -- website, social media, in-house advertising or on the phone with customers -- can have several benefits; including satisfying regulars who want to try something new, add-on sale opportunities, and attracting new customers. If a customer wants to know what's new at your establishment, how available have you made that information for them? In this episode we're going straight to the source to discuss "what's new?" in foodservice.
