More Survival Tips for Restaurant Owners
Try out these super quick survival tips to take your restaurant online and keep your business going throughout the crisis...
- Sign up to a mainstream delivery service - Signing up to an online delivery platform is a great way to gain exposure in your local area. Check which platforms are operating near you, sign up your restaurant, and customers will be able to order from you online.
- Launch a special takeaway promotion - Use email and community notice pages to spread the word about exclusive takeaway menu offers you have going on. Advertising it as an at home date night, or an after work treat will certainly be effective for customers missing their favorite restaurant.
- Share your recipes via livestream masterclasses - For those who can, this is a great way to keep customers entertained and engaged with your brand during lockdown. You can offer this content for free on Instagram or Facebook live, or sign up to Patreon, where customers can subscribe to your content for a monthly fee.
- Encourage regular customers to purchase vouchers - This is a great way to maintain your income during difficult times, whilst also giving customers something to look forward to. Vouchers can be used to purchase food and drink in advance, or to gift to a friend or relative.
