No wonder, chefs are always thinking about introducing new dishes in their menu several times throughout the year. Whether it's introducing seasonal produce or replacing dishes that are not taken so well by the diners or improvising with trendier options, changing and rotating the menu keeps diners excited and coming back for more. A good menu is at the heart of every restaurant. But, executing a new menu launch is no easy feat.
