What do you do if your culinary creativity clashes with business demands?

Creo que lo primero qué hay que hacer es entender a la empresa y sus necesidades, entender las necesidades del consumidor , así como uno adaptarse a las circunstancias y si se puede ser creativo, propositivo en un entorno diferente , se pueden hacer propuestas innovadoras de acuerdo a las necesidades y objetivos de la empresa.

Todo es posible y se trata de adapatacion y se trata de ajustar y proponer desarrollos Justo a la medida . Creo que el adaptarse haciendo desarrollos a la medida es el reto más desafiante.

A mi me ha funcionado la colaboración del equipo, todos pueden aportar grandes ideas , hacer networking con proveedores, ahí pueden surgir grandes ideas ya que se combinan diferentes experiencias y conocimiento de Mercado y sobre todo escuchar al consumidor para sacar necesidades.

La información que proporcionan los clientes es muy útil desde necesidades hasta la forma de usar o consumir algo . Gracias a esto se pueden adaptar o mejorar los productos y el resultado final es extraordinario.

Una parte muy importante del desarrollo y de la creación de platillos es tomar en cuenta los costos, el costo final debe estar de acuerdo a la necesidad . Hay materia prima de excelente calidad para tener costos accesibles .

In the culinary world, one needs to be both creative and follow trends. Therefore, in order to meet both guests' expectations and full fill your job satisfaction, one must combine his creativity together with today's business demands and trends. Adapting whilst maintaining your integrity is key.

If my culinary creativity clashes with business, I approach the situation with a 360-degree perspective. It is important to stay true to what I like, I also understand the significance of catering to the preferences and tastes of our predominantly young customer base. I would first assess the specific demands of our target audience. Based on this insight, I would adapt my menu to strike a balance between innovation and familiarity, ensuring that our menu resonates with our customers' preferences while still showcasing my creativity. I would also explore ways to introduce new and exciting flavors and dishes within the framework of traditional Indian cuisine.

I get it! Being in this situation can be quite frustrating and change is not easy for anyone, especially not when it comes to your business and your culinary creativity. If this feels difficult for you to tackle, I advise to take a step back and forget this is your decision to make for a moment. Speak to yourself like you would speak to a friend in this situation. Understand that you can still show your creativity in ways that keeps your business relevant & up to the market demands. Speak to people that can inspire you.

Identify areas where creativity( as this is the biggest challenges)can be expressed without compromising the core offerings that drive revenue and customer satisfaction.Listen to customer feedback and preferences to understand their expectations and preferences. Use this information to inform menu decisions and prioritize dishes that resonate with your target audience.Conducting a comprehensive analysis, will be another important task, of your menu to identify which dishes are top sellers and driving profitability. Focus on optimizing these dishes while still allowing room for creative experimentation with other menu items.
