Tyson Food Service Introduces Ideas @ the Heart of Value Volume 6- Make Bundles
 Tyson Food Service introduces Make Bundles, its sixth and final volume in the Ideas @ the Heart of Value series. While the economy is busy devouring disposable income and forcing many consumers to make tough spending decisions, offering more menu choices is prevailing as a way to deliver greater value to customers.
In Make Bundles, Tyson Food Service delivers creative menuing ideas to help sell multiple products and increase revenue when customers may otherwise have only purchased one item-whether they order a combo with a drink and a side or an appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
To successfully incorporate menu choice and customization for consumers who are on a budget yet still want choice and value, visit www.attheheartofvalue.net/ideas, and access all of the menuing ideas, complete recipe information, menu descriptions and downloadable merchandising materials.
