TOP TIP!
Don’t forget…During January, consumers are often rather cautious about dining out and will be watching the pennies – after arguably the most expensive month of the year. In order to combat this, consider offering meal deals and promotions to entice them into your outlet, for example provide a soft drink and a salad or wrap for a fixed price.
