Best Practices

• •Embrace 'Seasonal Storytelling': Always connect dishes, drinks, and the overall experience back to the season, the local producers, or the inspiration behind them. Use evocative language that paints a picture.
• •Balance Sophistication with Warmth: While highlighting the quality and artistry, ensure the language remains inviting and accessible, reinforcing the 'neighborhood' feel. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explained in a way that enhances appreciation.
• •Champion Your Values: Weave in your core values naturally. If it’s about regional focus, name the farms. If it’s about intentional education, briefly explain a unique ingredient or process.
• •Maintain Visual & Verbal Harmony: Ensure the tone of the copy matches the aesthetic of your visuals (photos, restaurant decor). If the imagery is warm and artisanal, the copy should reflect that.
• •Listen and Adapt (Slightly): Pay attention to how customers describe their positive experiences. While maintaining your core tone, you can subtly incorporate language that resonates with your happiest patrons, ensuring you're speaking *to* them as well as *about* your brand.
