This may be a slight discount to offer a special meal deal or whatever you deem appropriate for your customers.

But that does not stop there, because now you will get an audience on hand to whatever you have to offer and have already bought from you before (in marketing to do it) because the ideal point of view, you must now make the most of your lucky situation.

Instead of a lot of money for advertising agencies, keep in touch with your customers by e-outs, mail-outs, SMS, etc. Give them a reason to come and you feel that your restaurant is the only way to go, if it time passes, is open for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
