With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, love is not the only thing in the air – opportunities for food businesses are too!
This edition of the Vendease Digest is dedicated to helping you harness this romantic spirit to increase patronage and sales for your restaurant. We know Valentine’s Day is just two days away, so here are some creative plans you can still execute at the last minute.
Create a Valentine’s Day special
An irresistible Valentine’s Day menu featuring romantic-themed dishes is bound to bring in lots of couples celebrating love on Valentine’s day. Don’t forget to promote your specials on social media just like our client, DO Bowls did below.
Set up romantic decor
Set the mood at your restaurant with enchanting decor that will remind your customers of the occasion. For dinner reservations, dim the lights, adorn tables with candles and rose petals, or even a bouquet of flowers.
Book some Valentine’s Day entertainment
If you own or manage a restaurant, bar and lounge, consider music performances by live music bands, singers, classical instrumentalists, poets, and more to provide couples with a unique and memorable experience.
Create a social media campaign
You can kickstart a Valentine’s Day-themed contest or giveaway on social media, encouraging customers to share their love stories or favourite romantic memories for a chance to win a special Valentine’s Day prize or meal. We did something similar with our #helpingrestaurantsgrowchallenge months ago, so you can too!
As you prepare to create a romantic experience for your customers this Valentine’s Day, remember that Vendease is here to support your efforts. Explore our platform for everything you need to ensure that your restaurant is well-equipped to deliver an unforgettable Valentine’s Day experience.
