Does LinkedIn suppress "scheduled posts"? I recently discovered the "Schedule for Later" option on LinkedIn and thought I'd give it a try. I only scheduled a couple posts(https://lnkd.in/ecYfxZXq and https://lnkd.in/ejSMh3J2), but each has significantly less impressions (-84%), Reactions (-97%), and comments (-66%). Was the scheduled content simply uninspiring and would have underperformed anyway? Or does LinkedIn want to incentivize more real-time posting which may be more timely, on-trend, etc? #scheduledposts #linkedinposts #posting
What are the economics of event catering? 🥗 I recently attended networking event which was clearly oversubscribed. I heard the host nervously whisper to a colleague, "we budgeted for 100 people and there must be 300 here now." She was correct - there were many more attendees than expected, but the catering was quite literally overflowing despite the high numbers. The buffet was maxed out - heaps of meat, veggies, appetizers, and desserts. Attendees seemed more enamored with the open bar. Then suddenly, servers removed all the catered food, even though the trays were completely full. The food was destined for the trash, as after a meal has been presented to guests it can never be served again. Why waste all that food? It had been prepared, plated, served, and untouched… Was removing the catering meant to "punish" the hosts for having more guests than anticipated? It was clearly a signal for attendees to vacate, but I struggle to understand the motivation behind pulling the catering. I'm certain this was not an isolated event. Perhaps an opportunity for dynamic event products and pricing, or at a minimum food donation? #catering #events #foodwaste

🍴 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

How did National Cheesecake Day breakthrough the clutter of food holidays? The Cheesecake Factory (CCF) is a great example of how menu innovation and commitment can bring exposure to a food holiday through intense promotion from a dedicated restaurant. While food holidays are ubiquitous, CCF has made National Cheesecake Day an anticipated celebration via a new dessert each year. Sometimes, it’s even been two! They create excitement with their fan base through marketing, promotions and of course, an incredible new cheesecake. It took years of promotion for National Cheesecake Day to gain a spot as one of the most celebrated food holidays. The anchor of a beloved brand certainly helps, but remember, they were a local emerging chain at one point. Other fine local independent restaurants and chains also participate. When the numbers of offerings and participants of a food holiday increases it creates a rising tides lifts all ships environment. There is opportunity for the manufacturer and restaurant alike. Ask Foodservicexpert how we can help you create excitement around food holidays to drive incremental sales. https://lnkd.in/gZfbShnb #nationalcheesecakeday #foodservice #foodholiday #cheesecake

Making veganism approachable and accessible; social media expert + content creator; Host of The Good Fork on COX; founder Vegans, Baby; freelance journalist and PR
Did you know I run Vegan Dining Month? It's an annual event taking place every January in multiple cities across the country that is designed to show poeple how easy it is to discover vegan food when dining out, and thus removing the excuse that it's hard to go out to eat and be vegan. This year, it's taking place in Las Vegas, Portland, NYC and debuted in Seattle and Eugene. Each city is partnered with a non-profit and at the end of the month, a portion of the proceeds from each dish sold as a part of VDM benefits them. I designed it as a way for restaurants to test new menu items and see the value that offering vegan dishes can bring. For marketing savvy restaurants, it helps you reach new followers, and build a buzz. Learn more! #veganews #vegandining #vegantrends #restaurantmarketing

Three pillars for successful restaurant 1. Generosity in a restaurant setting goes beyond just serving food; it's about creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality that makes guests feel valued and appreciated. Offering generous portions can make customers feel they are getting good value for their money. Providing small complimentary items, such as a free appetizer, dessert, or a sample of a new dish, can create a memorable experience and build customer loyalty. Be generous within your community by participating in local events, supporting local charities, and sourcing ingredients from local suppliers. 2- Cleanliness is non-negotiable in the restaurant industry. It impacts not only health and safety but also customer perceptions and overall dining experience. 3- Consistency in food taste and quality is critical for building a loyal customer base. Use standardized recipes for all dishes. Train kitchen staff thoroughly and implement clear cooking procedures. Establish rigorous quality control measures.
