Secrets of wedding prices - how else can we use this?

Shock, horror - using emotion to charge extra for a product! There are so many ways this can be done in a restaurant or bar, without making it a rip-off. What do your sales team think?

so true! What about when you ask the guest if they are celebrating tonight and the husband says"yes it's my wife's birthday". Straight away you should offer them to see your special "celebration gourmet menu"(something I hope to design in the future).This menu uses premium products at premium prices of course. The husband can not say NO to the wife as that would be too embarassing.
I learnt this from the marketing seminar the other Monday.

keep up the interesting posts thanks Ken

regards

Sounds like good marketing, would have to apply that type of strategy more often

The future of restaurant ordering by phone Watch how the new Pizza Hut app for iPhone works (and expect one for Blackberry etc very soon). Won't be long until you can order a personalised one for your business - no doubt developers are working on this right now. Think about it: ordering coffee to go as I approach the store, flashing through a food order, setting up drinks for the interval of a show, avoiding the food queue at a crowded football game...you get the idea. With all the upsell and add-on possibilities that staff usually forget. Driving it is the pervasiveness of the hardware. How to get familiar? Start using this app and roam around the iTunes Store and in the Apps section, use search words like pizza, coffee and restaurant. It's early days yet, but watch for developments...oh, and get an iPhone! Update: just found Eatnotwait who build an iPhone app for your restaurant and handle the order processing. It will be interesting to get feedback from their users...

Food Bloggers: new force in restaurant land! Local food bloggers and tweeters reacted with scorn to a statement by Masterchef celeb. George Calombaris: 'Bloggers have no idea about restaurants. They've got no idea how they're run.' Maybe they don't have a company gold card to pay for review dinners, but don't overlook the passion, knowledge and number of participants in this food army. Here's a list of more than 500 Australian Food Blogs, and this is a country of only 21 million people. Have keyboard and broadband - you're in business. Instead of black & white newspaper text, most feature gorgeous photography and lengthy analysis - these are no novices, and some make it a full-time job. Professional restaurant reviewers have always guided us from on high, but here is their audience acting like an opinionated, hungry rabble! If you're visiting a big city like Sydney - do you pay $29.95 for the official guide, or dive into joyful (and free) blogs like GrabYour Fork or Not Quite Nigella or the yummy Lemon Pi? Restaurateurs (like George above) are just coming to terms with free-flowing online review sites, Google Alerts and email. Now they're besieged by amateur bloggers and the twitterati - people who don't know the meaning of 'Yes Chef!' Stand by for more sweet and bitter episodes as the decline of old media (and rise of the new) is played out in the world of food. My stomach says it's a great idea! Update: here's Jen's list of the Top 50 Aussie Food Blogs...and Mr Calombaris is still not happy!
