Which approach is recommended to increase value when a guest orders wings?

• A. Suggest upgrading to a premium side or adding extra sauce or a tasty dipping option.
• B. Offer a discounted dessert instead.
• C. Remove the side to cut costs.
• D. Only present standard sides.

Answer: (A)

When aiming to increase value, the best move is to offer enhancements that elevate the meal experience. Suggesting an upgrade to a premium side or adding extra sauce or a tasty dipping option gives more flavor and variety, boosts the check size, and keeps the guest feeling they’re getting more for their money. This approach focuses on value through add-ons rather than price cuts. In contrast, offering a discounted dessert reduces revenue and perception of value, removing a side or only presenting standard sides misses opportunities to enhance the meal, and thus doesn’t maximize value.
