Excerpt from the Book
#LondonMyssert
Since social media is one of the most effective marketing platforms and restaurants and their dishes are sometimes chosen only by their appearance, the idea is to use this platform as well and to pair it with the other offers because the idea of this project is to promote culture and local food and thus defy other standards and make it unique. The #LondonMyssert stands for uniqueness and specialness and is different depending on the location. It embodies one of London's local landmarks such as Big Ben or Tower Bridge (Figure7), which could be chocolate paired with white chocolate, homegrown blueberry, and raspberry notes to incorporate the union jack and the local berries.
A dessert like this could make it the guests' desire to visit the hotel and restaurant and share this special moment of the hotel with friends from all over the world which would provide free marketing. Also, psychologically, a dessert is a means to prolong the guest's consumption in the restaurant.
