>>21993921>Why is soup & salad a common side or appetizer at restaurants?Soup and salad are common restaurant sides or appetizers because they’re cheap to produce, easy to portion, and strongly associated with “lighter” or healthier dining choices. They also work well as a bundled add-on, so restaurants can increase check size without forcing a heavy starter on everyone. -perplexity
