Restaurants

6 Best Practices for Restaurants Every business faces challenge at one time or another. However, when a crisis occurs, the number and size of challenges that present themselves at one time can seem nearly unbearable. As COVID-19 has spread across the globe, forcing restaurants to close their doors to indoor traffic, operators are looking for ways to stay relevant, stay informed and stay in business.

Here are some tips to help execute a plan to grow business now and into the future:

1

Communication Is Key

• Staff: Get Personal In a time of crisis, every member of your staff is extremely vulnerable. If you aren’t keeping in touch to check on them and keep them informed, they will build their own narrative, which often leads to unnecessary worry and lack of confidence in your operation. Open communication, on the other hand, builds trust, retains employees and allows your staff to be brand ambassadors for you and your business.

• Customers: Stay Social Your social media accounts are the digital front door to your business during crisis. If you aren’t staying in front of customers, you will lose engagement…and likely lose business, too.

Here are some things that you could promote and utilize on social media: • Create short, engaging videos discussing what you’re doing (deep cleaning and updating inside your restaurant, improving to-go and delivery, meal kits, packaging meals, preparing food, etc.).

• Highlight your daily special each day.

• Remind customers of hours, the phone number to call or an app to order to-go and delivery.

• Promote any type of community involvement your business is engaged in.

• Boost posts when you see high engagement. It’s a low-investment option for expanding your audience.

• Encourage your followers to share your posts. There’s often no better advertising than friends sharing things with friends.

2 | ISSUE FOUR 2020 | dish!

Don’t forget the importance of presentation!

2

Streamline Efficiencies with a Limited Menu

• Creating a narrowed or limited menu helps during challenging times.

• A narrowed menu saves time, money and labor and also makes menu items easier to execute with limited staff.

• Create the menu based on staff availability, what products you have on hand and what products are available from your distributor.

• Review menu items and identify those with low profit margins that do not perform well. Is there an opportunity to remove these items?

• Can you consolidate some items in your inventory?

For example, if you are using two types of chicken for items on your menu, could you just order one and use the same for both?

• Your limited menu may need to change a couple times as the industry continues to change during crisis and recovery.

Become More To-Go Friendly

4

Utilize Unique Ways to Capture Business

on takeout and delivery. Some ideas include kits to decorate your own doughnuts, build your own pizzas and make your own margaritas.

• Provide customers ordering takeout or delivery with a discount to dine-in later.

• Create gift card deals, such as buy a $50 gift card, get a $5 gift card free.

• Surprise guests with a free roll of toilet paper or sanitizer with orders.

5

Build Consumer Confidence

• Clean more often, and clean even when customers are coming and going. When customers see cleaning being done, it makes them feel more confident in their decision to order from you.

• Make sure to especially clean some of the places where people believe germs live most, such as door handles.

• Make sure your entire staff is up-todate on their ServSafe training.

71% of people surveyed said that it was absolutely required that restaurants regularly/ visibly wipe down tables, kiosks and other things that people touch to help them feel safe if dining rooms re-open.

• Update your website to emphasize your current take out, curbside and delivery options.

• Put customers at ease by supplying a brief food safety and handling statement.

• Make sure your to-go bags are sturdy, flat bottomed, capable of holding items without spilling and tamper proof if you are offering delivery.

• Don’t forget the importance of presentation! Make sure you do everything you can when you package your food – from using the right containers to putting the food in the containers the best way possible – so that when everything arrives at its destination, it looks as good as if the customer got it to eat inside your restaurant.

• Work with the Chamber of Commerce in your town to help push the cause of supporting local restaurants by placing takeout and delivery orders.

• Create food and brew combo specials, such as $50 for 4 burgers, 4 fries and a 6-pack of brew.

• Specials such as take and bake meals, kids’ meals and cocktail kits are really popular with the current emphasis

6

Evaluate Expenses

• Take advantage of government relief options such as grants and payroll tax deferrals.

• Review your insurance policy and carrier. Is there negotiation room on your current policy, or should you DATASSENTIAL be looking at other carriers, etc.?

• Is your credit card fee structure the best one for your business? In some cases, you can negotiate fees to help them make more sense for you.

• Are you keeping track of inventory? Knowing what you have on hand on your shelves and in your coolers will help you create more economical food, beverage and supply orders.

• What does your paid advertising budget look like? Are there opportunities to reduce or cut some of your advertising for a period of time to save some money?

• Monitor to-go costs. For example, instead of giving every customer cutlery and napkins/condiments, ask if they would like them first. Most meals are being taken home, which means customers likely already have what they need at home and you can save the expense of Angie Dark providing these Martin Bros. things.

Stand outside and look at the exterior of your building through the eyes of your customers: Is the area clean and free of debris?

Are glass doors and windows clean and smudge-free?

Upon entering, create a sensory inviting experience: Look: Observe carpet, floor tile, walls & surfaces Smell: Does it smell clean and fresh, stale, greasy?

Sound: Music and TVs too loud/too soft? Is staff chatter kept to a minimum so the focus is on the customer?

GO THE EXTRA MILE Do you have a spot to position a hand sanitizing station at the entrance to enhance the comfort level of your guests?

To-Go Tips

Helpful Ideas For When Business Is Focused On To-Go Most restaurant business across the county has been limited to take-out, curbside and delivery due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Even as dine-in begins to be allowed in some states and counties, there are likely going to be limitations.

Here are some to-go tips to help put focus on your dine-out options when you need to.

Promote, Promote, Promote • Update your website to emphasize your current take-out, curbside and delivery options.

• Post on social media! Social media is one of the best ways to advertise. It’s free, and your posts can be seen by thousands of people in your key demographics. Keep a constant posting schedule, offer a special deal and include a picture to grab attention.

• Put customers at ease by supplying a brief food safety and handling statement.

Make Ordering Easy • Make sure your menu and phone number are up-to-date and easy to find on your website.

• If you offer online ordering and/or bill pay, make those options stand out on your website. These conveniences can save your staff time and drive business with tech-savvy customers.

• Consider teaming up with a third-party delivery service.

Using a third-party means you don’t need to carry insurance or manage the extra staff necessary for delivery, and you can also benefit from the promotion of your third-party.

Prep & Packaging Is Key • Some menu items might not be viable options for you during a pandemic. In addition, some items don’t travel or hold-up well, and some take a long time to make. Make sure all of the items on your menu are a good fit.

6 | ISSUE FOUR 2020 | dish!

• Evaluate every ingredient on every menu item to make sure that your offerings and your packaging make sense. There are a lot of items that will need to be packed individually or placed in special packaging to retain product integrity.

• Evaluate the space you are dedicating to prep and packaging for your team. Also be sure you have a place to keep food warm while waiting to be picked up by customers.

• Use tamper-proof stickers on containers and bags to help put your customers at ease.

Make it Safe & Convenient • Designate plenty of parking spots with a clear view for curbside and pick-up orders.

• Think of ways that orders can be picked up with no touch contact (for instance, laying the receipt on the counter or stapling it to the bag instead of handing it to the customer) and allow a six-foot distance between you and the customer.

• Make sure that you are sanitizing and disinfecting regularly, especially door handles and pick-up counters, and keep hand sanitizer close by to show Scott Fadden your dedication Martin Bros. to keeping Corporate Chef your patrons healthy.

CHAMPIONING CHANGE DURING CHALLENGING TIMES Let’s face it, change is one of the only constants in life. A change may be positive, such as a marriage or the birth of a child, but change may also be negative, like the death of a loved one or job loss. As I am writing this article, we are amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and the “new norm” seems to be changing every day. We are all experiencing changes and transitions on some level both personally and professionally.

Senior Living

LOOK CLOSELY Leading & Communicating During Crisis Can Create Opportunity During these unprecedented times, changes brought about by COVID-19 have created a great deal of uncertainty. In the midst of this uncertainty, while navigating the day-to-day, take some time to review how key action steps that you take each day can positively impact the future.

Communicating with Public

How are You Communicating?

Communication is king in any crisis situation. It’s important to be sure you are in constant communication with not only your staff but also your residents, family members and community.

Communicating with Staff

• Communicate the efforts taken to keep staff members safe.

• Make sure you are taking steps to show ongoing appreciation for your staff.

• Consider incorporating daily huddles as a way to engage staff, review new information, reinforce best practices and offer consistent messaging.

Communicating with Residents

• Make sure you are updating residents on what is going on with COVID-19 and any associated policy changes.

• Allow residents to ask questions and share their concerns.

• Do everything you can to reassure your residents and keep their spirits high during this trying time.

Communicating with Families

• Document and communicate cleaning and social distancing processes, letting families of residents know you are using EPA-certified products to disinfect and sanitize against COVID-19 and stating other measures you are taking to keep residents safe..

• Share the things your team is doing to keep their family members happy during these unprecedented times.

• Identify alternatives to having loved ones visit in person.

10 | ISSUE FOUR 2020 | dish!

• Consumer confidence is at an all-time low as community spread continues to impact every state. Use this time to share your procedures with the community, as well. It’s a great way to market your best practices!

Communicating for the Future Document and share your activities during this time as a way to market yourself not only now, but into the future.

Prepare ahead of time: what will your procedure be if a resident or staff member tests positive for COVID-19 or if other things arise during this pandemic or recovery period?

By writing press releases and doing the work ahead of time, you eliminate the added stress “in the moment” when being challenged with the impact a positive case or other issue will have on you and your entire community. Consider the following: • What is your message?

• Who is going to be in charge?

• How will you prove you’re taking all required and necessary steps to keep residents and staff safe?

Don’t Forget About You Leaders think about their team, their customers and everyone else but themselves during regular operations. This is emphasized in challenging times. You have to take care of yourself, and make it a priority.

You need to rest, Angie Dark disconnect and Martin Bros. decompress in order Marketing Manager to continue to offer leadership and strength to others. ■

HELPFUL IDEAS FOR

Mitigating Weight Loss DURING TRYING TIMES

With the loss of congregate dining during the coronavirus pandemic, senior living communities are doing their best to maintain good nutrition in the people they are serving. The social isolation can affect how much residents consume and enjoy their meals. As a result, many communities are seeing weight loss and reduced intakes.

So, what are some things you can be doing to ensure those you serve are getting adequate nutrition?

Think About the Food First

Make Mealtime Fun

` If you haven’t already, consider liberalizing diets. Given the circumstances, diet restrictions should be reconsidered for therapeutic diets. You want residents to enjoy their meals as much as possible and ensure they are consuming the meals you work so hard to put in front of them.

` Eating in their rooms may decrease the enjoyment of residents when it comes to meals. Have staff think like restaurant servers and describe the “feature of the day” when delivering their meals.

For example, try making comfort foods like roast beef and mashed potatoes sound enticing and delicious.

` Sneak extra calories in by “fortifying” their foods. Can you do super cereals or higher calorie mashed potatoes by adding extra cream and butter?

` Eating is a social activity for residents. Can you connect them virtually to loved ones by setting up a video chat for residents to share a meal with their family?

` Take advantage of snacks. Who doesn’t like a chocolate shake?

You can prepare shakes with whole milk and for those adventurous folks, try a smoothie. You can also feature a “smoothie of the day” and try green smoothies to get those veggies in or any variety of fruit smoothies. ` Consider out-of-the-box approaches. Some communities have even used peanut butter cups to get extra calories and a little protein. ` If all else fails, look at options for commercially available supplements. Take into consideration how many ounces you think your residents will consume. Can you use an eight ounce product?

Or, would a med pass be a better option to get condensed calories and protein? What is your available storage space? Can you use a frozen product or do you need to go with something shelf stable?

And of course, what flavors would your residents prefer? ` Don’t forget about hydration. The importance of fluids cannot be stated enough. Especially for those that need assistance getting to the bathroom. They don’t want to be a burden to staff and may decide that by drinking less, they can avoid asking for help. But dehydration can exacerbate a nutritional decline and make residents feel even more lethargic. Keep pushing fluids!

Connect them virtually to loved ones.

Include music from their generation... it may remind them of happier times. ` If you have residents that need assistance feeding, can you use finger foods to help them with the ability to feed themselves?

Get creative with delivering entrées and make them more user-friendly to those with challenged dexterity. Can you place food inside a hot dog bun or a tortilla? What about an ice cream cone for desserts? ` Do you have a way to play music? If you can, include music from their generation.

It may remind them of happier times.
