Tips On Preparing Your Restaurant For New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve is a time of celebration and reflection. After all, there’s a lot for you to be proud of! If you’re a restaurant owner looking to stay open for the occasion, it can also be a time of great profits if you know what you’re doing. As with many of the other holidays your restaurant will experience, the best way to succeed is knowing how to prepare for the occasion. Making sure that everyone enjoys themselves is sometimes easier said than done, so how can you maximize your odds of success? We’ll give you the best tips for preparing your restaurant for New Year’s Eve below!
Be Sure To Offer Catering
If your restaurant doesn’t already offer catering, now is the time to start looking into it - at least temporarily! Most of the time, people are going to want to spend the evening at home with their families or friends. Especially if reservations are booked out in advance, you need to give your customers an option if they can’t come into the restaurant in person! The more you can cater to the needs of your customers, the more profitable your business will be on New Year’s Eve. Make sure you pay your delivery workers accordingly!
Offer Fun Events
A normal night to eat likely isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea for a special occasion! The best way to attract new customers to your business on the day is to offer fun events over the course of the evening. Bring in a live band to conduct a performance until the ball drops, send out social media outreach for a potential trivia night, or even host a buffet-style party for a select group of guests. The more you can go out of your way to differentiate your restaurant from the norms of the rest of the year, the more enticing it will be to new customers!
Extend Your Happy Hour
Many celebrations heavily populated by adults are going to include some sort of Happy Hour. No day is more synonymous with this idea than New Year’s! Make sure that you offer an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages. Extend special discounts to existing customers or set up deals that include free drinks with a meal. Being successful is all about creating incentives, and extending happy hour is a foolproof way to do so!
