Health is a trend that is not going away, and restaurants need to double down on this soon. Here's our advice on how to properly market to those with Dietary Restrictions.

  • Non-GMO, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan just to name a few are becoming more and more prominent.

  • The better a restaurant can make these dietary restrictions easy for people to navigate the more business they can capture.

  • Zingerman’s Story – Gluten and Dairy Free – Lady with a clip board

Things you can do now:

  • Designate your items on your menu that meat these criteria.

  • Designate items with small modifications that can be made to accomplish these criteria.

  • Make a completely separate menu for these restrictions.

  • Have a day of the week focusing on these restrictions. Vegan Night.

  • Train your Staff!! Town Hall example.

  • Make people feel so comfortable that they keep coming back!

Prepared meals and partially cooked entrees can revolutionize your revenue model and marketing efforts. Here's how...

This concept is huge with Meal Prep companies across the country… seems like every week you hear of another company popping up. This concept is underutilized by most restaurants. There are a few places that have built their whole business model around the Take and Bake model. In fact, one national chain and killed it in the Pandemic with Raising top line sales by almost 7% and while decreasing locations.

  • Do not try to duplicate your menu for your customers at home. The reason they come to dine with you is partly that they can’t do it at home. Wing Example during pandemic

  • How can you make your customer a Rockstar at home with all of the ingredients to make a fantastic meal. Ribs, Pizza (Danny Boys), Tenderloin (Blue Herron)

  • Make it Interactive.

o Give the customer a card explaining the prep and plating, so they have everything they need to execute. Date Night at Home.

o Drinks as well! Give them the mixers and garnishes to add their own alcohol so they can impress their friends with bartending skills

o Cook along with the chef – Do a recording or even a live event that you can sell the kits and have your chef walk them thru the preparation.

Want your customers to love you...love your employees first! Today we unpack the reasons why care and authenticity with your staff will create raving fans of your guests.

“Customers will never love a company until the Employee loves it first.”

  • The best way to love your customers is to love your employees.
  • Employees who are onboarded correctly and trained properly and recalibrated when needed
  • Care about their jobs, care about the business and ultimately care about the customer
  • We have a belief that people want to do a great job. No one wakes up and says “I want to do a horrible job today!” But we fail sometimes to give each person the environment to thrive

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”

  • It is very tough to coach an employee until they know you care about them.
  • It doesn’t resonate until they really fell you have their best interest in mind.
  • Once they know this coaching and developing becomes very easy because they trust you and feel safe. Feeling safe is a critical part of have a great team.
  • MIT Study found the 3 Things needed on any successful team: Empathy, Social Sensitivity, A woman on the team.
  • The days of abusive Pirates and Swashbucklers in the restaurant should be over. A new regime of Compassion and care and dare I say Love… is what will separate you from the pack.

Complacency within the 4 walls of your restaurant will negate all of your marketing efforts. Today we discuss how to nip it in the bud.

It is so easy to get into a routine. Go thru the motions. Your restaurant is like the worst game of telephone… remember that game? You are the start of the message… it is only going to get worse. So the more you “mumble” the worse your staff and execution will be.

Remember your passion and why you got in the business. Don’t lose that! Figure out ways to remind yourself. Paul Saginaw – hand out with employees or Customers. If that doesn’t work… get out!

Discipline equals Freedom – seems counter-intuitive, but they reside right next to each other.

  • Free Time, Financial Freedom, Freedom from Stress.

Take Responsibility – While that sounds amazing… Most people don’t. Self improvement is critical to personal and business success… they are not mutually exclusive.

Have proper Training and Recalibrating. Employees that know the expectations and procedures are many times more likely to achieve brand standard. HAVE A BRAND STANDARD – Northstar delivery example.

Your menu is your #1 marketing piece and should be updated to reflect new trends, fresh ideas and be costed and priced properly for adequate profit. Today we run through how price fits into that equation.

Food Cost your menu: Amazing how many restaurateurs don’t know their food cost.

What does your menu run theoretically with your current pricing and cost of goods? This should be looked at versus your Actual Food Cost with waste, over/under portioning, potential theft, etc.…

Focus on Gross Profit on each dish and by category on menu. You will never take Food Cost percentage and deposit it in the bank.

Menu price bench marking: Look at what other restaurants that you would want to emulate, share you customers with or are just geographically close to you.

Look at their menu pricing versus yours and “Pattern” this price difference.

Raising prices in an uncertain world: This is Pent up demand coming out of the Covid-19 Pandemic. People want to get out and enjoy their favorite local spots again.

QSR Magazine did a consumer survey: Customers will spend twice as much money per month at restaurants that meet their cleanliness standards.

Strategic changes:

Changing menu every 6 months you can add variety and give customer value with correct pricing.

If you never change menu and do price increase every 3-5 years… your customers will notice increases. You are putting more attention on pricing the longer you don’t change.

Always provide Hospitality and EARN the money. Don’t take customers for granted.

– Someone is spending their most precious asset with you. Their time… Give them a value!

Employees are your most underutilized marketing asset! Here are ways to get the most marketing out of your team via Onboarding and training.

Onboarding

  • Employees tout your restaurant to friends, family and most importantly, tables full of patrons
  • During the onboarding process, the opportunity to create raving fans of your organization is prevalent
  • The better job you do of passionately sharing your story, your passion, your ethos and your love the better your employees will both believe in it and pass it along

Training

  • The better they are trained, the clearer the expectations become, disagreements arise less frequently, and job satisfaction increases
  • The higher the job satisfaction, the bigger fans they become
  • The bigger the fan, the more infectious bragging they will do
  • The more they know, the more they can help
  • The more they help, the more sales they make
  • Example: If trained properly during a menu rollout, the staff has a chance to not only experience the new offerings, but also to offer their input
  • The more input they have, the more ownership they have
  • The more ownership they have, the more pride they have
  • The more pride they have, the more confidence they have
  • The infectious your staff’s positivity, the better experience your guests will have
  • The better experiences your guests have, the more they will come back
  • On top of that, train them directly on how you want them to market your space!

There's a formula to creating the perfect social media post. Today we unpack what that formula is.

A “hook” first sentence. Capture your audience’s attention with a fact, a question, or a “did you know,” or something interesting to get them to consume the rest of the content. Call to action

Digestible. People are scrolling quickly on all platforms. Break up the text and use good formatting. Format the text to make it easy to read for your audience. Make the content easy to scan with the eyes by breaking up the text into short sentences and indented paragraphs.

Great Photos and Videos. Use a good photo and videos. Add text and adjust the size of the image using easy-to-use Adobe apps: Photoshop Express, Premiere Rush, Spark Post, Photoshop Camera, etc. Upload to the platform.

Hashtags. Every post should have relevant industry hashtags to offer the opportunity for your content to trend in a specific industry.

Avoid outbound links. All platforms want engagement and for you on their platform. When it comes to social media, if you get it for free, you are the product. Pro-tip: Limit outbound links to the comment section of your LinkedIn posts.

Tag someone or a company. If you tag a person or company, it will increase the engagement with your post.

Schedule and be Organic. Use a scheduling software like Hero Post, Hub Spot or Hoot Suite. Be careful not to over do it. Don’t get overwhelmed… figure out your best platform and become a student. Each platform has its sweet spot as far as frequency.

It's going to be hard to effectively market your restaurant if you get hacked. Protect your digital restaurant with these key tips.

A key requirement to managing your Digital Assets is to have a comprehensive list of all your assets, where they are located and who has access. Unlike your physical assets, it is not that easy to find your online account information. Without the proper authorization, it can take weeks to get a provider to give the legal owner access if that person did not set up the account.

A great inventory can take many forms. We put together this Digital Asset Audit to help you get started. Download: Digital Asset Audit https://restauranttopia.com/tools-ebooks/

We are faced with 100’s if not 1000’s of decisions everyday as people. In today's episode we cover how to we make sure our employees make the best decisions in regard to our businesses.

As a Leader, we probably have a high level of decision making… hopefully.

The restaurant industry has a history of not being great place to learn and grow and have a career. Especially in the Locally Owned and Operated

  • Hiring – Who is the employee we are looking for? - Josh Cell Phone example

  • Training – How are we training? Is it documented? I should be able to come into your business and train your new staff. Training should be that good!

  • Mission Statements – What is your Mission? Delight the customer for loyalty, Everyone Leaves Happy, Love your Employees and Customers for Lifetime Loyalty. – use Google and find something that resonates with you, employees, and customers. Then Talk about it every day.

  • Firm and Fair Rules – what are your expectations and policies? Is everyone treated same in regard to these rules? Almost half of Divorce happens due to Failed expectations.

  • Retaining – How are you treating your employees? Do they feel safe and loved in your environment? Professional Development Training for staff.

  • Recalibrating – This becomes so easy when you have the above items straight and communicated properly.

Are you talking with your audience or taking AT your audience. In this episode, the Restauranttopia team unpacks use cases for both and the differences between the two.

Broadcasting has its place…

Basics:

  • Weekly/Daily - Specials and Features

  • Holiday Hours or changes to service (pandemic)

  • Communicating upcoming Events

  • Share your menu

  • Hiring

Advanced:

  • Show off Customer reviews

  • Give customers the story - History

  • Give behind the scenes

  • Show off Employees

  • Video and Photos of food and Ambiance (Let potential customers “Feel” what it is like) ELO

  • Show the origins of your ingredients

  • Call out your sources – farms, distributors, partnerships

  • Share Staff recommendations

Engaging is most underutilized by restaurants:

  • Send direct messages to Loyal customers. Thank them! Offer Freebies! Ask them to refer you!

o Use video or voice messages (Challenge – One per day for 30 days)

o Reach out to Josh and/or Restauranttopia with success story and we will put you on Podcast episode

  • Bad reviews/feedback – Give away whatever it takes to have that person never talk smack about your place!

  • Reach out to local influencers and have them do their event there. They will ask for something, so get ahead of it and make an offer up front so no confusion. Some people dislike this, but I think if done the right way you can have success and use their followings to benefit your restaurant.

Managing your time effectively is a crucial step in being healthy!

Balance is key to feeling good – if you’re good, you do good

As a leader your staff does better too (they’re your best marketers)

Your operation is not healthy if you aren’t

Ruthlessly pursue time for what you love

This is when your best “work ideas” hit you

Take influence from your environment

  • Other restaurants
  • Other businesses
  • Other people

Get organized

  • Practice saying “no”
  • Burn out is a slippery slope

Can be the difference between making great decisions and making decisions just so problems go away

  • Leads to half-cocked strategies
  • If you are fresh, so are your ideas; if you are burnt out, so are your ideas

As far as marketing is concerned

  • The process takes time, thought and consideration
  • Keeping busy for the sake of it is short-term play
  • Scheduling time to spend collecting market intel, sharing ideas, generating content and deploying content is not prioritized enough – the “on the toilet posts, likes and shares” is not a great strategy
  • Carving out time to engage with commentors and followers is essential
  • Software can help push content more effeciently

If your time is managed properly

  • Your goals are easier to manage
  • You’ll have time for new opportunities
  • Allows for experimentation
  • You’ll be able to focus
  • Permits proper prioritization

Ultimately, the more you manage your time, the more time you have to manage everything else

  • HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM
  • PHOTO BACKDROP: When people go out whether it be for a special occasion, or just for a fun dinner with friends, they want to be able to commemorate it. Usually with a fun photo. Providing a fun photo background allows them to do that, and an opportunity for the restaurant to receive more traction when those pictures are posted. Make the backdrop fun, it could be just green shrubbery with neon light. Or fit it to the theme of your restaurant, if you have a Caribbean restaurant, have a beach theme. Make sure to include fun props that the diners can take photos with! Lastly, add the restaurant’s name or Instagram on either the backdrop of some of the props so that when the photo is posted other people can find the restaurant!
  • OUTDOOR BARTENDER WITH A SPECIALS DRINK MENU: Having a bartender outdoors can draw a ton more customers to a restaurant. Not only having an outdoor bartender but also having a special drink menu to go with it. Make the drinks fun, presentable, and one of a kind to your restaurant. Pair them with what you are serving as well, for example, if you are serving salmon with a blackberry sauce, maybe make a blackberry margarita to go with it. Having an outdoor bartender would only amplify the summery feeling that a patio already brings.
  • GAMES: When sitting outdoors, maybe with your kids, or with your friend while waiting for your food there isn’t much to do. So adding different life-sized games like Jenga and Connect 4 would add not only a fun aspect to the patio area but also something to occupy guests. I’m positive that life-size games will be as big of a hit with adults, as they will with kids.
  • CASUAL SEATING AROUND A FIREPIT
  • GREAT PATIO FURNITURE AND UMBRELLAS
  • MUSIC, COMEDY, OR TRIVIA NIGHTS :Entertainment can draw customers to the restaurant that it may have otherwise not have had. Whether it be a comedy night once a week, or a different live music event, entertaining customers is more important than ever. If it is a Trivia night you can even do prizes, like a free round of drinks for the table or a free dessert. Either way, it is a draw and one that every restaurant should have.
  • SPECIAL PATIO MENU: People enjoy feeling special, it is just human nature. So how does one bring that into the restaurant world, other than providing them with amazing service? Give them a special menu. If sat on the patio, provide a special menu, it does not have to be every day, maybe just once or twice a week. Provide it enough though that it gives people a reason to want to go and sit out on the patio. And don’t keep in the same specials menu every time, switch it up, make in a surprise, it’ll draw the crowd in.
  • GREAT LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING, WATER FEATURES, AND FLOWERS
  • HANDHELD POS

Menu engineering is the process of designing your menu to ensure maximum profitability.

Data doesn’t lie. Gut shots are great, but they are rooted in assumptions, hopes and dreams.

It takes the emotion out!

Menu engineering doesn’t come easy if you haven’t taken the time to really understand your menu’s performance by way of sales mix and theoretical costing

Never forget, your menu is the single most important marketing and sales mechanism you have!

Technical aspect: plotting your menu items based on contribution margin and popularity, then analyzing to remove poor performers or tweaking decent performers to become amazing contributors

4 Quadrants: Dog, Puzzle, Plow Horse, Star

Psychological aspect: strategically designing your physical menu layout to prompt guests to order those dishes that perform best based on the technical analysis

  • Highlights
  • Boxes
  • Pricing placement
  • Item placement (depends on style of menu) matters

Almost every restaurant has that “If you go there, you have to try” dish that inevitably becomes part of your identity – run with it!

But first, make sure it is not only popular, but profitable and make it as visible as possible!

The restaurant business is a simple business where you make money selling food and drink. However, this process of making money can be done randomly or can be done strategically.

Category Menu Questionnaire - Start with sections of your menu and answer the questions. This will give you a great way to assess where your current menu is and what you need to do to improve and make more money. Questions by menu category

Weekly Specials vs. Weekend features - Specials are typically designed to drive traffic while Features should make MORE money. Knowing your average GP per plate in category will allow you to design items that will always be higher profit moving your bottom-line numbers UP!

Options on Weekly Specials (Not everyone wants the special)

Wing night example – See attached

  • Offering boneless wings

  • Offering naked tenders (sinless)

  • Offering breaded shrimp

  • Offering Deep fried Pierogis in Wing sauces

Working with the attached worksheet will allow you to look at other offerings on your specials to drive profits.

Couple other Money-Making Pro Tips

95 v. 99 on menu:

Moving your menu prices away from .95 cents doesn’t seem like a big deal, but if you take a week worth of sales by item and multiple it by .04 and then by 52 weeks, you will see this small move could make BIG Money.

Drinks – Don’t list soft drink prices on your menu:

  • Anthony has two great real-life examples in the episode about how he created BIG TIME increases to operators’ menus by changing coffee prices and the Soft Drink pricing.

  • Benchmark your current pricing versus your competition. You may be surprised how behind you are in this pricing. Offering unique beverage offerings that your customer can not find elsewhere can also be a great way to gain profits.

  • It is also recommended to spot check how many tickets don’t have beverages ran in. This could be common with your wait staff as they may not be ringing in all beverages because they are either lazy or are trying to “Help” the customer in order to gain larger tips.
