Whether you’re an established restaurant, or a restaurant looking to get its feet wet, you should consider bringing in some type of entertainment to attract customers. Entertainment encourages existing customers to return, while also getting new customers interested enough to visit! People are looking for an experience, not just a great meal, and places that can do both will succeed. Here are some ways to generate buzz:
Live Entertainment
This is your opportunity to showcase a local artist, or if you can, a band or person that is a little more popular. People love live music, especially on a patio in the summer. Live music encourages people to get up, dance, and drink!
Craft Beer Tasting
Craft beer is all the rage! Taking advantage of this craft beer craze and hosting a tasting at your restaurant is a great way to get beer lovers or people who might not normally visit to try your food. You can offer specials to entice people to try your food while drinking.
Introduce the Chef
People love to see the face behind the meal and want to know exactly who is making their delicious food. You can offer a special menu and have the chef come out and talk about the food. The chef can discuss their creative process and how the dish comes to fruition from ingredients to table.
Entertaining at your restaurant is a must and helps make a customer’s visit into an experience. There are so many different ways to entertain and you can easily find something that fits your brand and the mood of your restaurant.
