Attracting new customers for North Yorkshire’s restaurant scene.
The Restaurant Week format is a popular and effective way of driving new footfall to businesses. Towns and cities across the UK, including Leeds and York host restaurant weeks that have shown increased participation year-on-year.
The objectives of a Restaurant Week are:
- Attract new customers to your business
- Boost awareness of your food and drink offer
- Create regular repeat customers for your business
How It Works
Set Price Points
Participating businesses commit to provide set price menus throughout the week at one of four fixed price points – £10, £15, £20 or £30. The set menu format is the most effective way of presenting your offer e.g. two courses for £15; two mains and two drinks for £20 – however that works for your business.
Learning from Successful Restaurant Weeks
Customer feedback shows that the best performing offers are:
- Clear and easy to understand
- Perceived to be good value/high quality
- Experience at the venue matches their expectations
- Do not have too many restrictive terms and conditions
- Are unique to Restaurant Week
