The restaurant industry has evolved with time and is reputed to be notoriously competitive. Apart from regular engagement, innovation has been key in keeping customers interested and keen to visit again for an enhanced experience. The restaurant’s menu, has been one of the most frequently customized avenue for innovation.
Say you’ve gone this route as well to keep your customers hooked and guessing; it is essential to note that the launch and its communication are as vital as the changes in the menu itself. You do not want to find yourself worrying about the guest attendance one day prior to your menu introduction. In an ideal situation you’d want customers queueing up at your restaurant for the launch; and who better than your own Regulars and VIPs to keep the house full!
Send a campaign announcing your launch to your loyal customers; and if budgets permit, incentivise them as well!
