4chan is 18+, kids. Isn’t it past your bedtime? Mayo is delicious.

Maybe serve a plate of different dips together with something to dip. Not really a dish but all I can come up with

>>14439311
This is retarded but also kind of based dude. You could also have a wide variety of aioli flavors, coleslaw, and a classic chicken sandwich since that always goes with mayo.

You better have pic related or I will personally sneak into the kitchen at night and jizz in all your mayo.
I would also suggest a selection of Russian-style salads for appetizers.

I was thinking of doing a “Mayo’s World Tour” item featuring mayos from around the world, but probably only as an occasional special.

>>14439347
I don’t know. I was thinking more grab and go than sit down type food.

I like the idea of the Russian salads. I’ve been tinkering with a beet salad sandwich that’s pretty tasty.

Never heard of this but it looks good af.

We won’t have ranch. I can’t stand the stuff.
BLTs are good, but I don’t think they’re mayo focused enough. I don’t want Mayo’s to become like any other lunch place, a jack of all trades but a master of none. We aim to carve out a uniquely focused niche within the sandwich space.
Pimento cheese similarly is too southern soul food for the brand identity I hope to create.

My mom likes to cook salmon this way. It's something I never expected to taste as good as it does.

Cole slaw is on my radar but I haven’t developed a recipe I’m happy with. I think fried chicken sandwiches would be quite nice, maybe a pounded thin cutlet or milanesa type thing.

For some international flair, try including Japanese mayonnaise, properly known as shirako. It's not easy to find, but if you can find an authentic Japanese market and flash a little cash, tell the owner that you want his shirako and he will take you into the back room.

There used to be a chain of restaurant like this near me. They all went out of business.

Most salad dressings are Mayo based (southwest chicken salad, ect)

Don't forget to offer vegan options to broaden your customer base

This sounds extremely problematic and racist

its a good idea to have a restuarnt do a couple things really well and focus on them.

the problem is, that these items lack appeal. why did chipotle get big? poke/rice bowls? grain bowls? because these items have a kind of sex appeal- not that you wanna fuck a bowl, but the food they serve aligns closely with the sensibilities of the people that have money willing to spend, in the places where they spend it.
I believe you're going to have a hard time marketing egg salad/tuna salad, etc, mayonaise.

the other problem is that mayo gets shitty looking if it sits out-- think about the grocery deli case - that shit looks bad by the end of the day. how are you going to serve your food without your customers seeing your mayo based items just sitting out in a tub?

which brings me to the last point. fast causal restaurants are fast-casual because the process of ordering is interactive. you move down a line and build your dish custom. this does a few things 1) makes the waiting seem less for the customer- theyre not sitting idly wating for their name to be called 2) the customer feels like they have more agency in their order (and builds loyalty to the brand) 3) it moves customers smoothly through your restaurant, without them milling about.
how can you make this happen in your mayo restaurant?

>>14439311
Will you have different mayo options?

Hellman's/Homemade/Japanese?
