Many restaurants and bars are closed for dine-in service across the nation. Here in Oregon, under Kate Brown’s executive order, that means all restaurants and bars closed. Yet as the current Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic impacts our everyday lives, restaurants and bars may still serve customers via take-out, curbside pick, and delivery options.
We can at least take comfort in food during times like this. Being able to have your favorite Kung Pao Chicken, or Veggie Pizza, might seem like a luxury, but it might be what helps us cope with remaining in our homes for so long.
Let Customers Know You Offer Take-Out & Delivery
There are many options available to communicate with your customers that you offer take-out and delivery options for your menu. Engaging with patrons via social media and email marketing campaigns is great. Posting updated information on your website is another solid choice.
Utilizing a third party delivery service like Uber Eats, Postmates, or Door Dash, means that a lot of the notification work has been done for you.
Also, take time to refresh your menu. You can add or delete food offerings that may not travel well. You can also remove items that may be difficult to source right now. Offering a simplified and casual version of a favorite dish helps maintain a high quality product.
Using digital technologies can get the word out fast that you are still open. It helps your hungry patrons stay in the loop. This is especially true as events continue to change on a seemingly daily basis.
Don’t Forget Outdoor Advertising
Any good marketing strategy takes into account multiple channels of communication. Having an active online presence is important for any bar, eatery, brewpub, or restaurant. However, do not underestimate the power of outdoor advertising signage.
Just as you invested money into quality outside store signage, you can benefit from temporary signage as well. Make passersby aware of your delivery options with custom printed sidewalk signage. These can include time honored options like an A Frame sign, a banner, or a feather flag.
A potential customer may not order from you today, but your visual marketing will keep your company’s name fresh in their mind for when they crave your particular style of food.
This same strategy is beneficial to general retailers and service oriented businesses. Though you may not offer food, you still benefit by reminding potential customers that you are open.
