Absolutely! This is an excellent opportunity to maximise the effectiveness of your First Table marketing strategy. If you're currently offering one table at 5PM daily but notice a decline in reservations, we can easily add an additional table for that week. This can be scheduled for the same time or later during service. By doing so, your restaurant can foster a lively atmosphere, increase revenue, and attract more new diners to your establishment.
Another great way to manage your schedule is to sign up to our weekly text message prompt which makes it quick and easy for you to respond and add extra availability.
What it involves:
- Every Thursday your local sales rep will send a text requesting last minute weekend table availability
- If you want to add tables just respond to the text (free of charge)
- Advise what days, how many tables and at what time you want to add e.g. Fri/Sat/Sun 1 x 5pm each
- If you don't have any availability simply don't respond
Why are we doing this?
When joining First Table you set your weekly schedule according to what works for your venue. But we understand that in the hospitality industry bookings can change from week to week depending on many different factors. Adding the option to increase availability on an ad hoc basis, allows you to evaluate your upcoming bookings and add the option of securing additional revenue from what might otherwise be empty tables. Plus, First Table will promote your weekend availability to our database, giving you free marketing and more visibility for your venue - it's a win-win!
