3 mistakes killing restaurants lunch specials profits

- can’t serve fast enough / or have too many people working
- wrong food calculations, IMO you don’t have to sell every lunch special with the same price. Ask for fair value.
- you don’t automate enough / every little corner you cut brings in more

When serving lunch margins are thinner.

Speed & automation = profit

3 practical things I did that contributed to my food business growth

If you are into food business and want to know what helped us grow revenue and improve customer experience, then read on.

1.  I introduced international cuisine weeks in our bistros.

Once a quarter.
Themed cuisine week with popular flavors.
Italian, Indian, and Mexican were the favorites.

Preparation started weeks earlier.
Our head chef made the menus and ran cooking & tasting sessions.

I even invited regulars to join the tasting.

These weeks were really popular, boosted sales, made loyal customers + turned out to be great for team-building.

2. For years I worked on the floor once a week.

It gave me the clearest view of what was really happening.

I saw what customers liked.
What slowed service, what created friction,
and what needed to change for better operations.

For me the best insights came right in the middle of the action.

3. I turned our bistro birthdays into real customer events.

On those days:
we served favorite dishes,
gave every guest free birthday cake,
ran lucky draws,
added surprises and tastings,
sometimes even had live music.

I personally handed out cake and celebrated with customers.

Those days created a lot of energy, loyalty, and strong human connections.

+ one extra thing:

I made a habit of having conversations with our regulars over lunch.

I got honest feedback what people wanted.

It wasn't a straight line up but from 2014 to 2024, we grew our business annual revenue from €200K to €1.6M, expanded from 1 location to 4, and earned local strong recognitions like Äripäev Gasell and Edukas Eesti Ettevõte along the way.

I believe these practical moves were one important part what helped us move from the early stages into growth.

They helped us win customers and improve experience by making our service and menu better.

@halowrites01 Thanks you 🙏

[Jarko Lipp @JarkoTips]

@Codie_Sanchez Yes, its better to do than just talk.

Best insights I got from my business was always when I was in the middle of action.
