Ideas to celebrate Thanksgiving and surprise your customers
The best time of year to have a celebration and a good dinner with the family has got to be Thanksgiving! A day in which you are grateful for all the good that was brought this year and the fortune that was had.
Therefore, we see this day as a good opportunity to make yourself known and further increase your restaurant clientele and income!
Offer a Special Dinner Menu
Since many people prefer not to host holiday dinners it is an innovative idea to offer customers a good thanksgiving dinner inside your restaurant. This way they don’t have to worry about the kitchen. Offer a menu that has the most popular holiday dishes, such as: Classic Roast Whole Turkey with Turkey Gravy, Bourbon Ham with Brown Sugar, Green Beans, Classic Creamed Spinach, Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries, Mashed Potatoes, Traditional Herb Stuffing, Cranberry Orange Sauce, Butternut Squash Soup, Brioche Rolls, pumpkin pie, among others.
Decorate your Restaurant
Use warm colors such as yellow, orange, brown, and red among others. They are colors that stimulate, which usually generate positive sensations and represent autumn. Do not forget to place pumpkins, candles, pinecones, dried leaves, which will give a much more sophisticated touch to the table and thus adapt it perfectly to the season.
Create a Good Advertising Campaign,
Publish your menu and the ideas you have planned for this day. Place flyers around your restaurant as well on social media to promote your event. Invite all that wish to come, to join!
Offer a Reservation System
On Thanksgiving since it is a highly expected busy night, you must have a good reservation service. This will ensure that your staff can take care of all the customers that are coming for that night. As well as being able to ensure they have the stock of food and provisions needed.
Hire Extra Staff
Since it is a large and highly demanding event you must hire extra staff, to make sure you meet the needs and demands of that night. This will ensure that everything goes perfectly, and you get many five-star reviews!
Finally, don’t forget the people who want to stay home and just want to share and give thanks to their loved ones. You can offer them holiday catering so that they can hold their party in the comfort of their home without having to worry about anything. Create flyers with the menu you plan to offer that night, and promote it on your social networks, so you can take orders two weeks in advance.
On behalf of Teamstaurant we wish you the highest success in this new adventure. Thank you for being part of our great family! Happy Thanksgiving 2022!
