How to get more customers

Customers are the lifeblood of any restaurant. Without customers, nothing else really matters, does it? Getting customers into your restaurant should be the number one priority of a restaurant owner.

It is easier said than done. Every slick advertising salesperson will try to sell you THEIR way is the BEST way to get more customers to your establishment. How do you know which method is the best? Unfortunately, until very recently, you didn't.

The old, traditional method of attracting new customers was what I like to call the "spaghetti approach." You simply buy every type of advertising you can find, throw it ALL against the wall, and hope some of it sticks! (just like spaghetti)

In other words, up until a few years ago, you had to spend a LOT of money on advertising to get people into your restaurant. The rich restauranteurs got richer, the little guy just didn’t have the money to burn! You simply couldn't tell what advertising was effective, and what advertising was just flushing your money down the toilet. The independent restaurant owner was at a major disadvantage to the deep pocket chain.

Some things change, some never do. Once you are operating your own restaurant you will be amazed at how many different kinds of advertising channels there are. You will be approached with slick promotions for each and every one of them.

Okay, you're asking, so which ones work? Who should I trust to tell me how to get more customers into my store?

The answer is simple. Don't trust anyone. There are NEW systems that can make advertising methods PROVE to you that they work. Make your advertising PROVE it works! Anything else would be simply wasting your advertising dollar. And wasting money is just as bad as not knowing how to get customers in your front door!

It is sad that many rookie restaurant operators don't know just a few little things that could mean the difference between profits, and a "For Lease" sign in the window!

for . Before opening to the public make sure you test your restaurant with ALL the equipment running. It is not uncommon for there to be electrical issues when all the equipment is running. Your Grand Opening is a terrible time to find out that you can't have the meat slicer going at the same time as the toaster! If you have made changes to your kitchen, try testing the electrical capacity of the renovated space.
