Perché ci sono sempre gli stessi dessert?
Summary
Max Corona explains why restaurant dessert menus are so uniform, citing low profit margins and high operational costs for specialized pastry skills. Due to ingredient volatility and space constraints, many establishments outsource desserts, leading to standardized offerings like cheesecake and tiramisu. While most sweets yield low profits, tiramisu remains popular due to its low ingredient costs and high margins. Some restaurants, however, use unique viral desserts to distinguish themselves and attract customers.
