How did Raising Cane's happen to land on those four specific items on the menu? Why, say, chicken fingers and not wings? According to Graves, "craveability" is what the options on the Raising Cane's menu have in common. "So the chicken fingers and sauce, that's the epicenter ... it's the highest quality chicken, but the chicken with the sauce, that's the hook, right? The chicken by itself is really good, but with the sauce, that's the craveable part," Graves explained. "But then you have those crinkle-cut fries. I grew up [with] crinkle-cut fries; [I'm] nostalgic. My mother would make that. The crinkles get it a little more crisp, I think."

Of course, no Raising Cane's run would be complete without Texas toast. This, too, is designed to be the kind of food you daydream about long before you hit the drive-thru. "It's not sliced bread where it can get stale. It's like little dough balls put together so they grow," Graves explained, "and you pull them apart. It's dense and it's soft and it's moist and it's just garlic butter. People go nuts over it!" The one menu item Graves personally does not crave is coleslaw. "I'm not a coleslaw fan at all. I guess if I was, I might like our slaw," he conceded. "But people are, and it was an old traditional Southern thing to have coleslaw with chicken." For Raising Cane's patrons like himself, swapping the slaw for another option is always a popular choice. "I like having it on the menu because most people trade it out for extra toast or extra fries or extra sauce," Graves said. "That's the fun component of it."

In today's social media-obsessed world, there's always pressure to have the newest, coolest, or most "viral" thing to offer your customers, preferably with a catchy hashtag for optimal Instagram and Twitter trending. The temptation to change your menu is strong, but should you do it? If you're trying to decide whether (or how) to update your restaurant menu, there are many factors to consider. Keep reading to learn the pros and cons of a restaurant menu refresh.

To Update or Not To Update?

On the one hand, novelty is an easy way to grab people's attention, and diners expect new, fresh experiences. On the other hand, diners love consistency and dependability (which is why chain restaurants have so many devotees), and a strong brand identity (including signature dishes or a whole menu) is a valuable asset in its own right. So what's a restaurateur to do? Well, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but take a look at these pros and cons to help you discover what's right for your restaurant.

Benefits of Updating Your Menu

Flexibility to keep up with current dining trends

Adapt to changes in food prices and availability

Create excitement and urgency among customers who want to try "the next big thing"

Showcase seasonal ingredients

Feature seasonal dishes that feel special (think about the popularity of Pumpkin Spice Lattes , for example)

Keeping up with customer preferences, like healthier menu options

Benefits of Keeping Menu Consistency

Less time spent training and re-training staff on new menu items

Updating the physical menu, including design and printing costs

Updating the menu on your website, search engine listings, etc.

Diner loyalty/confidence

Less marketing required; diners become more literate in your offerings

Reduction of disappointed diners (we've all been That Person who ordered their one favorite dish only to find it's been discontinued!)

In truth, the answer as to whether, how much, and how often to update your restaurant menu is entirely up to you, and the correct choice depends on many different factors. Ideally, you can strike a balance between retaining signature menu items that are memorable to longtime fans, as well as adding interest and urgency with seasonal specials and new menu concepts every three or 4 months.
