Restaurant Marketing Ideas

Restaurant owners. Let's start thinking a little strategic. What can you do differently to get more orders or even yet bigger orders where you make more profit? Well, how about putting the ca on your online ordering? Putting the catering menu or as I'd like to call it, the family menu. I mean, it can be used for catering, especially like if I'm in an office and I'm looking for, you know, I gotta feed the, I gotta feed the crew, and I go to your website and I see this, it makes it easy for me to do, and I know what the prices are right there. You don't have to create a special menu for me. I can go pick the number of people I want and boom, there's a price. Or you might have family in town, it's summer, it's vacation time.

Might have family in town and you just don't want to cook, but you don't want to think a whole lot about it either, and you just wanna go to your favorite restaurant. Look at their catering menu or there, again, their family menu. And place your order. So think about that as this one. Little thing are really easy to add to your menu and it brings in extra money.

This, here's a customer. Very first day we put the catering menu on. There was a barbecue place. Look at this. 5 20 78, 2 8, uh, 2 83, 1 40. I mean, the orders here are decent. Now you're gonna say, depends what they are. Doesn't depend what they are. This is what the owner decided to put on his list, and this is what we have.

Now I'm gonna start showing you. So here's one where again, they bought a shrimp, boil feeds. Four, got a small fruit planter and they have a large, but in the, on the menu description, it, it describes how many people this will usually feed, or how big it is or whatever order. One 70, here's another one again, pickup.

Wasn't a delivery, it was a pickup. Buffalo chicken. Uh, DIPP, 30 bucks. You know, chicken salad, the potato salad, lasagna feeds eight people, half salad feeds, eight people, 2 73. Again, here's [00:02:00] like a family menu kind of thing, or again, catering. What are you doing to get creative to get those order tickets bigger and make it easy on your customer?

God, I hate it when I go and I'm trying to think of what to buy for everybody. And I, I'm thinking about like, well, what's Fred like? What's, what's Suzi like? What's Bob like? And a lot of times Osco, when I go, like for my cigar night with my friends, it's my turn to cook. I'll stop buy a restaurant and I'd be like, this is what you're eating, suckers.

And I wish more of 'em had the bigger menu. . Um, there's a couple restaurants here in the morning that do it, and I partake in them because they make order ordering easier and everybody loves 'em. So here's a thought for today. What are you going, what are you doing with that catering menu? How can you implement it and when will you implement it?
