Happy hour doesn't mean compromising on quality! ????? Provide your restaurant clients with cost-effective yet delicious ingredients for standout small plates at great prices. With our Intros appetizers and hors d’oeuvres, which include labor-saving and value-added options, creating happy hour specials that boost profits has never been easier. Additionally, restaurants that offer shorter happy hours (e.g. 2 hours) tend to maximize sales while minimizing disruptions to regular dinner traffic. #HappyHourDeals #SmallPlates #IMAfoodie
