How Restaurants Can Celebrate Halloween: Amazing Ideas to Try How Restaurants Can Celebrate Halloween: Amazing Ideas to Try

Halloween is a beloved holiday and a great time to draw new restaurant patrons that will become recurring customers. Owners can take advantage of the spooky fun to create a welcoming space for people to celebrate. There are plenty of takes on Halloween, so every eatery can find the perfect approach to embracing the scary season.

How Restaurants Can Celebrate Halloween

Every restaurant should take advantage of the holidays to entice people to go to their eateries. Likewise, they could offer specials or provide an ambiance that makes patrons feel great when they visit.

Prepare With Restaurants Program Insurance

Restaurant owners should ensure they're ready to handle the large groups of people Halloween marketing can bring. For example, they should look into getting restaurant insurance to protect their establishment.

Restaurants program insurance offers several kinds of protection:

  • Assault and battery coverage
  • General Liability
  • Excess Liability
  • Products and Completed Operations Coverage
  • Liquor Liability

Finding a policy for restaurants and bars is significant for places that serve alcohol, as guests may become rowdy and damage property and each other. Business owners don't want to pay for cleanup and medical bills when they are just trying to promote their restaurant. Fortunately, as insurance agents, you can help your clients find the right coverage.

Create Halloween-Inspired Specials

Seasonal specials are a big draw since people want to try them before they're gone. Since autumn offers a bountiful harvest, restaurants can create some unique specials with fan-favorite produce:

  • Pumpkins
  • Apples
  • Corn
  • Squash
  • Cranberries

If inventing new dishes isn't on the menu, eateries can rename top-sellers to give them an All Hallow's makeover.

Offer Discounts for Halloween Weekend

Offering discounts for specific dishes or drinks can tempt customers to spend more at a restaurant or bar. For Halloween, establishments can market their deals with funny puns and other wordplays.

Embrace the Spooky Spirits With Decorations

Embrace the spooky side of things by adding a blood-curdling touch to an otherwise ordinary eatery. Business owners don't have to spend much to create a creepy atmosphere that delights guests. They can even get patrons involved by handing out Halloween-themed coloring pictures for kids, then hanging up the artwork for all to admire.

Turn Your Social Media Into Halloween Central

Turning social media accounts into Halloween havens is easy for businesses to show their creepy colors without breaking the bank. It boosts your profile when reaching out to potential patrons, as jumping on Halloween hashtags will spread the chilling cheer far and wide. Restaurants planning to hold events should advertise online to generate the most interest.

Hold a Costume Contest

Costumes are a huge part of Halloween, so holding a costume content is a great way to get the community involved. People are more likely to turn out if there's a prize - a gift certificate to the restaurant, for example. Eateries have many options for running the contest:

  • Holding the event on social media and asking for tags
  • Making the contest all about pets
  • Declaring a contest theme related to the restaurant
