If you look at popular fast food restaurants such as pizza places and Chinese they often have many orders on the go and any one time – This is because they have a large customer base. The best way to increase your customer base is advertising. Many companies opt to do this via menus and leaflets being delivered to large numbers of houses in the local area. You can hire a design company to make your leaflet for you and then distribute them via the local paper to make sure the maximum volume of people get to see it!
Have you ever wondered how new customers have discovered your take away? Word of mouth is quite often the reason for this. A great way of promoting word of mouth is to ensure that your existing customers know all your details. If you place a copy of your menu on the tops of counters then customers are likely to browse this and then take it home! This means if they are ever asked of a take away to recommend, they are likely to say “yes... I have this leaflet from last week” and pass on your details, winning you a new customer!
Budget restrictions often mean that new restaurants don’t have the money to blow on fancy advertising campaigns and bill boards promoting themselves, which is why it is important that the advertising media we do have gives the right impression. Your menu is going to be the customer’s main port of call when it comes to remember your restaurant and their experience there. You must make sure that the menu is well made and has the right layout to please your customer – where possible include photo examples of the food you offer; this will help tempt your customer’s taste buds.
When it comes to your menu of course colours and fonts are important, but the actual lay out of the menu is just as vital. You should make sure for example that the menu includes all the prices of your food, and that these are accurate. The types of food you offer (for example chicken, pork, beef, lamb) should also be split into their own areas of the menu to make it easier for the person reading the menu and picking their food. This way your customer will not waste their valuable time looking through the menu which means that will have a good impression of your company.
