Offer something unique on Valentine’s Day, such as a set Valentine’s menu with bubbles, a 4-course dinner, live music, or even a cozy escape for solo diners. Showcase your Valentine's experiences online with themed photos and special menus. Learn more here about how to create your experiences.
Adjust shifts, hours, and seating for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day might call for extended hours or additional shifts. Plan to accommodate these changes and rearrange your tables to cater to solo diners, couples, and groups. A well-organized setup will help you smoothly manage the Valentine’s Day rush.
Secure reservations with prepayments
On special occasions like Valentine’s, securing your reservations is crucial. Reduce no-shows by requiring prepayments or credit card guarantees for reservations. Guests are more likely to show up when they’ve made a financial commitment, and if they don’t, you’re protected! Learn more about how to set this up here.
Sell gift vouchers for additional revenue
Gift vouchers make the perfect surprise for loved ones, allowing them to enjoy a dining experience at a later date. Set up a shop where guests can purchase vouchers for specific amounts or experiences, like a chef’s tasting menu. These vouchers not only generate extra revenue but also encourage repeat visits after Valentine’s Day. Your gift voucher shop is fully integrated into your website widget. Set up your gift voucher shop here.
Promote your valentine’s specials with email & SMS campaigns
pread the word about your Valentine’s specials through email and SMS campaigns to secure those important reservations. Share your special menus, events, and gift voucher options to create excitement, drive revenue, and fill your tables. Set up your campaigns here.
Pro Tip: Always include a clear call-to-action in your campaigns. It’s better to send multiple short emails rather than one long email. This will help engage your guests and achieve better results!
Update your digital menu to show your valentine’s specials
Valentine’s specific menu items are a great way to get guests excited, so ensure these are displayed online! Highlight your Valentine’s menu on your website so guests know what to expect before they arrive. Update your menu here.
