Opening a restaurant is a true labor of love. You spend a tremendous amount of time and money on it, and you want to ensure that customers come in droves. If you’re struggling with lower than expected numbers of patrons, you might want to make a few changes. Here are some things you can do to make your restaurant more inviting. 

Do a Happy Hour Menu

People love a good deal, and because of that, you should consider starting a happy hour menu. When choosing what time to do happy hour, you want to focus on times when business is typically slower. For example, if business slows down dramatically between lunch and dinner, you could opt to do happy hour between 2 and 4 p.m. Or, if you’re looking to increase the nightlife at your restaurant, you could opt to do it from 10 to 12 p.m.
