𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴? 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. I recently came across a Reddit post from a restaurant owner dealing with a 25% drop in sales since November. It’s their first year in business, and like many others, they weren’t prepared for how challenging this season can be. Seasonality is a common challenge in the hospitality industry. Between November and February, people eat out less due to holiday spending, tighter budgets, and shorter days. But there are ways to keep your restaurant steady during this time: 1️⃣ 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀. Our resOS integration with First Table lets restaurants offer 50% off for early bookings, helping attract diners during slow times. 2️⃣ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮. We’re exploring a partnership with Workfeed to integrate employee scheduling with resOS booking data. This would help restaurants optimize staffing and plan ahead more effectively—Looking at you, Kristian Emil Larsen 👀 3️⃣ 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀. Inspired by Jim Taylor's post, happy hours are a great way to create value-driven offers and attract customers during off-peak times. 🍹 Slow seasons are tough, but they’re also an opportunity to experiment and connect with your community. #restaurantmanagement #hospitalityindustry
No matter the industry, seasonality is such a hard problem to tackle... Though I can imagine it's especially hard on new restaurant owners
