In Your Restaurant PLAN for the Big Days – Part 2

By David Scott Peters

Restaurant Tip of the Week

Make a special event and holiday checklist

Piggybacking on the tip, “Plan for the Big Day – Part 1,” develop a checklist so you’re prepared to maximize any big day. Your restaurant/bar has its own unique customer draw, and you need to keep that in mind when creating your special event/holiday checklist. Your checklist should include your expected sales volumes, how many covers or customers you’re expecting for the event, any special decorations you’ll need and where they are located if you already own them. Include any special licenses or permits you need if you plan on extending out into your parking lot to serve liquor, and/or any additional fencing or barriers needed. The checklist should also list any special menus, ingredients, liquors, wines or beers needed to make the event a success.
