With summer in full swing, now is the best time for restaurants to make the most of this sunny season and increase revenue. No matter where your eatery is located, there are a lot of creative and nice ways to boost the restaurant’s summer revenue while the days are longer and people want to get out and enjoy the hot weather, including optimized rooftops and patio seating, focusing on existing guests, staying updated on local events, or Summer Weekend meals for example. Read on to learn more!
Take Advantage of Any Outdoor Dining
Now is the time for the outdoor seating patio or rooftops to shine. With warm weather here, diners enjoy their favorite dishes or cocktails while they’re enjoying the sun. The easiest way to optimize the outdoor dining area is to offer reservation upgrades while guests book online. You could even host local singers and bands to come and entertain the diners in the outdoor area to make your restaurant stand out from the rest of the crowd. If there are no outdoor dining spaces in your property, there are still plenty of ways to offer guests an incredible experience. Consider adding some summer unique decor inside and outside your restaurant, like some summer flowers, a witty sign at the entrances, or some seat covers. This can extend to your restaurant supplies, like smallware and silverware and carryout boxes too.
Stay Updated on Your City’s Events
No matter where you live, there are sure to be some local events like concerts, sporting events, and film festivals that take place throughout the summertime. By staying updated on local events, you can tap into a potentially new audience of customers to keep your seats filled.
Freshen Up the Menu
Summer is an excellent time to think about lightening up your food and shaking up those cocktails. This gives guests one other reason to pick your restaurant in the summer months. By working hard with local farmers to create lighter and fresher dishes, you’re supporting your city’s economy, and your chefs can let their creativity shine. With days getting longer, people are a lot more likely to want to grab some drinks after work, so adding seasonal dishes and summer happy hour specials are another great way to attract a crowd.
