An idea for restaurant owners:
Romantic Date Night Packages

A BMO survey determined the cost of an average date night is now approaching $180., once you factor in dinner, transportation, and grooming.

Many couples are becoming more selective about where they spend their money.

That creates an opportunity for creative restaurateurs.

Consider offering a special Date Night Package featuring a three or four course chef's tasting menu, blindfolded dinner, optional wine or beverage pairings or flights, shared appetizers and desserts, or a surprise menu tailored around guests' allergies and food preferences.

By allowing the chef to choose featured items, you can showcase your creativity while steering diners toward your most profitable menu offerings.

A thoughtfully designed package transforms an ordinary dinner into a memorable experience while giving guests outstanding value.

In today's economy, consumers are looking for affordable ways to celebrate special occasions. A well-priced romantic dinner package is an excellent inexpensive marketing tool which can help fill tables, increase check averages, and encourage repeat visits. Sometimes, a little creativity is all it takes to turn inflation into opportunity.
