The 80’s rock band Cinderella might have said it best: “Don't know what you got 'til it's gone.” I was recently at a restaurant next to a large university that was absolutely packed with guests coming and going at a very busy dinner time. As I sat down inside and ate, I couldn’t help but notice a young man I will call Edward who was a whirlwind of constant hustle. An amazing blur of speed wiping down and sanitizing tables, asking seated guests how their meal was, smiling and joking with kids, emptying trash cans and putting in new trash liners, guiding patrons to newly available tables, picking up trash left behind by a homeless gentleman that came in and dumped out the trash can to find an empty cup? Check - Edward did it ALL. When Edward came to clean my table, I said “I have to tell you how impressed I am with what you have been doing in the short time I have been eating here. Does your general manager and restaurant brand know and tell you what a difference you are making for them? Look how happy all these people are. You are the engine making everything in this dining room work so smoothly.” My meal literally tasted better and better every single additional minute that I watched Edward at work and I will be absolutely certain to revisit that restaurant the next time I am in the area. Recognition and appreciation are among the most valuable currencies we can pay to our team members and employees. Do not take the Edwards who work at your own company for granted as you do so at your own peril, lest the words sung by Cinderella haunt your recruiting dreams. #recognition #appreciation

In crafting this semester's event calendar, I drew inspiration from an insightful Chartwells HE webinar titled "Marketing your Campus Catering." As a result, I organized several Love, M Food Co. events aimed at not only surprising and delighting the students and campus community but also showcasing our catering department's remarkable monthly LTOs. I am excited to observe the impact of this strategy on both catering LTO sales and overall student catering sales. #EventPlanning #CampusCatering #MarketingStrategy

🍴 Overcoming the Post-Christmas Lull in Restaurants 📉 The period between Christmas and New Year's often sees a downturn in restaurant traffic, with some establishments experiencing up to a 30% drop in diners. To navigate this challenging time, restaurants can adopt creative strategies to draw in guests. Introducing limited-time 'Twixmas' menus with unique dishes or hosting themed nights and wine tastings can create a buzz and entice diners looking for special post-holiday experiences. 💡 Engaging Strategies for Success: Boosting marketing efforts on social media and through local partnerships can effectively highlight your restaurant's offerings. Additionally, engaging with the community by organizing charity events or featuring local talent can not only attract customers but also reinforce your restaurant's role as a community hub. By turning this typically slow period into an opportunity for unique dining experiences, restaurants can successfully keep their tables filled and their guests delighted. #RestaurantMarketing #HolidayDining #CulinaryInnovation #GBSFoodservice #TwixmasTreats
