There's one simple way to get your servers and bartenders to sell more loyalty cards. Give them more time. Your FOH staff are your sales force. Once your marketing gets your guests in the door, it's up to your servers and bartenders to maximize sales. It's not about selling guests things they don't want. It's a restaurant, not a used car lot. However, you do want to make guests aware of as much of your offerings as possible. One of those key offerings is loyalty cards. We all know that loyalty cards build email lists, and email marketing is still the most direct way to put offers in front of customers. That's why you want your staff to sell as many loyalty cards as possible, right? But they can't sell loyalty cards when they're running around in survival-mode. When your FOH staff is just trying to survive, the last thing they're thinking about is selling loyalty cards. So how can you help them? Invest in improving their workflow, so they can be as efficient as possible. Efficient workflow processes keep your staff out of survival mode, and allows them to be in sales mode. Your staff is much more profitable when they can do their jobs faster and stay in the right mindset. Omni-Rinse equipment helps your staff stay out of survival mode by decreasing drink ticket times. The faster your servers get their drinks, the faster they can get back to their tables and sell. Seconds really do matter in the restaurant business. Come see us at the National Restaurant Association Show in May--we'd love to tell you more about how we can make your FOH more efficient! #bars #restaurants #cocktails #foodserviceequipment
