If you’re a restaurant owner or employee, you know just how challenging this entire COVID-19 pandemic is. Due to the forced closure of restaurant dining areas, many are now forced to only operate through the carry-out or delivery options to keep business afloat. This is not a death sentence to your business by any means, though. This is another way for you to get creative and connect with your customer base even more throughout these trying times. Here are some of the best tips and items to include in your carry-out orders to keep your customers coming back throughout this pandemic.

Cleaning Supplies

This might sound a bit out of the box, but consider throwing in some cleaning supplies with your orders. This would generally be one of the weirdest things to pair with your food, but considering the climate of the world, it could be a good idea. Consider tossing in some mini hand sanitizer bottles, tissues, wet wipes, or any other cleaning supplies you can muster into your carry-out bags. Your customers would appreciate the good gesture during such a weird time in the world. This is another excellent way to get them to come back for more food.

Coupons

Who doesn’t enjoy saving some money? Consider including some coupons and discount codes in your carry-out bags. If you run a pizzeria, consider attaching these coupons, discount codes, or savings stickers to your pizza boxes too. This has been proven time and time again to drive traffic to your company. Customers now are especially going to be looking for some ways to save a few bucks (especially with the recent closures of business). Coupons and discounts are an excellent way to keep a good two-way relationship with your customers.

Free Merchandise or Food

If you have the funds and means to do so, create a loyalty system with your customers. Give them a punch card to use every time they come in and purchase some food, and once that card is filled out, reward them. Some free food, restaurant supplies, or merchandise (if you have any) are all good choices. Giving your customers a bit of extra incentive to keep coming back in is a great way to drive carry-out sales.
