Why is soup & salad a common side or appetizer at restaurants?

>>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

>>21993953just read a huge report on this as wellapparently soup and salad as a pre-meal app has really gone down and theyve more branched into stand alone items/sideswhich has to do with costumers wanting more value and customization
