Learn why your restaurant should plan ahead for the holiday season

Five ways restaurants should plan ahead for the holiday season

Plan your holiday staffing coverage now.

Once you've decided on your hours, start by clearly communicating the days your restaurant will be open over the holidays to your employees.

Develop food and drink specials and consider a special takeout/catering menu.

Make sure to design a holiday menu with issues like inflation (especially around food costs), soaring fuel prices, and supply chain disruption in mind.

Publicize your holiday hours and menus early.

Promote your holiday hours and special holiday menus on social media and in your newsletter.

Offer and promote holiday gift cards.

Don't just offer gift cards, make them appealing. Create a special deal like offering a $30 gift card for $25. Or give an extra $5 gift card with every $50 gift card purchased.

Decorate your restaurant.

It doesn't cost much to add a little seasonal cheer. Sparkly lights, a few poinsettias, some lit-up icicles hanging from the rafters, a decorated tree, colorful balls in a giant wine glass on the bar — whatever direction you decide to take your decorations, make them festive and fun!
