At J.I. Bases we understand that running a business can be difficult. Along with the day to day tasks, it is your job to find new ways to generate more business. Every restaurant has times where the number of customers starts declining. This can be from the weather, the economy, or a multitude of other reasons. Although it is not always easy, there are certain things you can do that will help get more customers through your door.

Be There

Even though in certain cases you can let the food do the talking, it is important to be present at your business. This gives you the opportunity to interact with customers and get to know the regulars. Leaving a good impression with the customers who are already coming to your restaurant will encourage them to go out and spread the word about your business.

Make Friends with Local Businesses

There are many times when businesses will bring in catering for lunch meetings or other events. Taking the time to introduce your restaurant to local companies will create the potential that they will look to you for their next event when it comes to catering. Also, during these events it gives their employees the opportunity to taste your food which will lead them into your restaurant at a later date.

Social Media

The ever growing world of social media might seem complicated, but it is a great way to introduce your restaurant to many potential customers. However, consistency is crucial. Make sure to stay on top of your social media accounts with regular activity and responding to all posts or messages. Provide your followers with great information just like we do on our social media accounts here at J.I. Bases!
