If you are a restaurant, catering business or a brewery, you most likely just experienced your largest holiday takings of the summer with America’s 241st Fourth of July/Independence Day celebration. As you and your staff recover from all of that profitable chaos, you now are left to ponder what kind of promotions you can to lure in customers during the next few months before Labor Day in September, Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December. Fortunately, a ton of National Food Day specials are available throughout the year to help you spice up your menu.
SIDEKICK loves helping all types of restaurants achieve their marketing and sales objectives every single month of the year. After consulting the National Food Day Calendar site, we compiled an incredibly large list of national food months, weeks and days for the remainder of 2017 to help you create unique and out-of-the-box specials for your customers. Be sure to bookmark this post for future use as the year continues; don’t forget to share with any of your staff, managers or other restauranteur friends!
