Let’s Celebrate Dad
Father’s Day (21 June) is now considered one of the industry’s busiest days, and although we don’t know what the situation will be as we approach the summer, Father’s Day provides outlets with a great opportunity to deliver dishes that will not only make dad’s day but bring in a much-needed sales boost.
Plan ahead
Planning now is key! As we approach Father’s Day, it is important that your customers know what you are offering. Consider menus that can be taken away for a celebration at home, so make sure you promote your offering on your website and social media channels, and, if you are not answering telephone queries, record and leave a message directing customers to your digital channels.
What to serve
Hearty dishes like a roast dinner, fish and chips, curries and pies are some of dad’s favourites. Steak and spices are a popular choice too, and with the seasonal change BBQ-inspired dishes will work a treat. Sharing platters and pizza are always a great choice for families celebrating the event. Or why not shake up your offer with a fantastic brunch menu, so dad can eat breakfast like a king! Make sure your drinks menu offers alcohol and non-alcoholic options for dad, and the family.
Make it memorable
A two or three-course set menu is always popular, as is including a free drink or dessert for dad. For those customers who might be unable to celebrate on the day consider offering a gift voucher that can be used at a later date.
Take Stock brings you three recipes which will work on the day whether you are open, offering a take-away service, or thinking of operating a pop-up one for the day.
