Celebrate the Oscars and Emmys at Your Restaurant

red carpet

There are a large number of people who absolutely love to watch the Oscars, the Emmys and all of the different award shows. Some people even have parties and invite their friends over so they can watch the shows together. As a restaurant owner, you want to be able to draw people into your venue, and a great way to do that is to capitalize on events such as these.

You will want to start your promotions early. In fact, have an entire week dedicated to the award show, and even rename some of your dishes for movies, shows, directors, etc. For example, last year you could have had a True Grits breakfast dish that comes with grits rather than oatmeal. Coming up with names and specials should be easy enough to do.

If you have a large television, you might want to host a special night for the awards show and let people come to your establishment to watch. Turn it into a red carpet event of your own and charge an entrance fee that includes dinner and a glass of wine. You could even make it a formal or semiformal affair if you want. If you are going to do this, you need to make sure that you have the proper amount of restaurant seating and that it is comfortable enough for people to use throughout the duration of the show.

Posted by Daniel in bar tips and advice, fun, restaurant tips and advice

They thought it was a fad. They thought it would die off. They thought wrong. Karaoke is here to stay, and that means that you might want to look into hosting a karaoke night at your bar. Even if you don’t happen to be a fan, there are plenty of people out there that love karaoke. You want to keep your customers happy, and you want to gain more customers, right? This can be a great way to do it.

You will find many different types of karaoke machines that you can buy for your bar, from simple little machines to large machines with PA systems. The one you choose will depend on the size of your bar and how often you think you might be using it. Make sure that you have a huge song selection for the machine. You want to be able to appeal to as many people as possible and the more songs available the better.

Rather than just buying a machine and placing it in the corner of your bar to gather dust, you need to make sure that you advertise your special karaoke night. Start your ads several weeks in advance. Make sure that you announce it on your website and blog and all of the different social networks. Tell everyone on your bar’s fan page to let their friends know. Perhaps you can coincide the night with an extended happy hour that goes until closing time, just to boost interest. (more…)

Fun Ideas for Your Child Centric Restaurant

Aug 29
Posted by Daniel in fun, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant tips and advice

If you are running a family friendly restaurant that focuses on children, then you will want to make sure that you have everything that a child centric restaurant should have. Here are a few fun ideas that you might want to incorporate into your restaurant.

What screams fun for kids? Games are an obvious choice. You can have many different types of games, from video games to skee ball. You will want to make sure that there are games for children of different ages, and it might be a good idea to throw in something that the adults are going to like as well.

Seating is something that you need to consider carefully. Remember that in a restaurant that is specifically for children, they are going to be running around. Make sure that you have enough space to allow for that. Restaurant booths will help to easily divide the space and will allow for more “running around” space. You will also need to make sure that you have seating that is right for both children and adults. Booster seats, for the younger kids to sit on, are a great idea and they are something that you do not want to overlook.
