How fall menus are planned and tested

New items begin as concepts evaluated during focused testing phases, including in-market trials and broader platform introductions when feasible. Teams assess taste, preparation complexity, and compatibility with existing equipment. Ingredients, portion sizes, and pricing are calibrated before items are introduced regionally or nationally.
