One of the ONLY things restaurant owners LOVE to pick apart is their MARKETING ROI! And the funny part is, they honestly don’t know what they are looking at many times.

In this episode I’m going to go DEEP into what I see and what you should too. It’s not as simple as you paid this and got that, it MUST be looked much deeper.

Afterall, what’s the ROI on the sign on your building? I mean, why not take it down for a month and see what happens? Afterall, that’s how you manage your marketing dollars now.

It’s that time of year again… Football Season. The question is: How can you capitalize on the NFL season to get more people in your restaurant? The answer is not yelling at your customers to come eat at your restaurant and watch the game because they already know you have pizza, wings, and beer.
