With latest statistics reassuring us of Mothers’ Day bookings being as strong as ever, it’s worth making the most of it. #Teamforest share tempting products and six top tips...
1. Create a special promotion for an upgraded 4 or 5 course menu. We can suggest solutions that promise a great margin whilst keeping the prep managable.
Alternatively, why not offer a complimentary amuse bouche?
It’s a simple way to ‘surprise and delight’ whilst making use of other ingredients.
Such touches help to make visits more memorable, improve reviews and loyalty.

2. It’s usually more cost effective to focus on increasing return footfall rather than attracting new. Reward Mothers with a voucher for a free dessert or glass of bubbly when they visit with friends to try a different menu, such as brunch or afternoon tea. Ask us for cost-effective but impressive incentive ideas.
3. Ditch stereotypes as plenty of mothers don’t serve traditional roast dinners at home.
Concepts such as ‘carve-your-own’ and mini sharing joints can help add a ‘sense of experience’ - a craving that has gathered momentum with modern diners and holds great profit potential.
