The main issue at the Canyon was Monday Nights again. We wanted to have a night dedicated to families at the Canyon but none of our concepts seemed to flourish. The family night entrees were only slightly successful, and sales really diminished once August hit. We need to create a night like Taco Tuesdays at the Meadow that seems to do well all season long. We need an affordable fun evening that works for families, golf groups and older members. We may try a Tapas concept next year. The Cool Downs were an even bigger hit this year. We sold 3,905 Apps which is a 33% increase from last year. We were able to do this with less culinary staff but with a consistent dedicated culinary team. The Cool down apps remained creative and with new options every week. The Oyster station was expanded to include Shrimp Cocktail and did terrific. Over the course of the summer we sold 4,222 Oysters and 1,252 Shrimp from our tiny seafood table. Desert Sales also saw a positive increase. Chef Alfonso had a good assistant and created some unique desserts for the summer. The staff also did a great job selling them. Strong dessert sales shows members are having an excellent dining experience. Staff having the time and ability to sell desserts and members having the time and inclination to have dessert demonstrates a restaurant that
is creating an excellent dining experience. 2023: Dessert Sales - 1,819 or $18,861 sales
2022: Desserts Sales – 1,458 desserts or $15,589 sales 2021: Dessert Sales – 1,296 desserts or $14,195 sales
Wine sales have diminished in the dining room again this year. I would contribute it to the Wine Club ’s “Bring your own Bottle” program. Club members do not follow the rules and often bring in more than one bottle. Non-club members are also bringing in bottles and not getting noticed by the MOD. We will need to better enforce these policies next year by having all wine club members check in with the host or MOD before serving their wine.
