Think about ways you can make the most of the potential revenue; maybe it’s asking for a higher deposit to sit outdoors, or asking guests to order from a particular menu. This isn’t anything new- plenty of restaurants in European countries such as Italy and Spain have been doing this for years. You want your top paying guests to feel like they can have the experience they want- and it’s not unreasonable for you to make the most out of that opportunity, too. Check out these examples of restaurants employing this tactic: at Darwin Brasserie- Sky Lounge you’re asked for a £10 charge for a premium window seat, and at Trafalgar St James they ask for a £50pp minimum spend on outdoor tables over the weekend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1751293511085-HB9CM4L0SIGHVHGU0NG7/unsplash-image-hCtSiT8YbHA.jpg Blog - Making the most of your outdoor space - Let me tell you a fun little story about that time I was a waitress in a well known bar chain; we’ll call it Modka Bevolution. As a central London bar, it was RAMMED every day of the year; but no more than when the sun was out and everyone practially RAN to the small terrace space. It was impossible to keep up on a Friday, and I once had a whole table of 12 who ordered drinks, had a tab going- and yup, you guessed it- skipped town before paying the bill. Having order-at-table technology not only stops the drink and dashers, it also takes the pressure off of your staff (especially in the summer months where you know you’re going to be understaffed about 30% of the time…yay for summer holidays!). Order at table can also keep track of your inventory (no more angry guests ordering a dish that’s just run out), as well as inform on wait times and give you valuable data which can inform your future menu choices for outdoors and beyond. Check out some of my favourite tech solutions- Me&u, Lightspeed and Sunday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1751294706513-TPJ0YXPLQHWBYPCMLZL9/unsplash-image-nq7Y_RAuZdY.jpg Blog - Making the most of your outdoor space - I know this sounds really obvious….but you’d be AMAZED how many times I’ve seen this missed. If you’ve got a gorgeous outdoor space, you have to tell people it’s there! And we’re not just talking about your website: your socials should be popping off every time the sun comes out to entice the crowds to yours. Make sure that you’re grabbing content when your outdoor space is full (there’s nothing less inspiring than a picture of an empty beer garden), and be reactive when it comes to sharing this content: you need to keep an eye on the weather and make the most of it. In addtion, make sure your google business profile has been updated, so that whenever people are searching google maps they’re seeing a line about your great space. https://www.londonhospitalitygirl.com/blog/blog-post-title-three-mgpzf monthly 0.5 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1753116994195-HHZU51MW1QROS98K3A8K/unsplash-image-KZYzpLx43DE.jpg Blog - Summer sales: 5 tips for sizzling restaurant revenue - Reasons to Visit might feel like spending money in a quiet time, but during the summer they’re more important than ever. Great summer events include special supper clubs, live music, weekend one-off brunches or themed nights. If you’re a family-centric venue then think about events which focus around keeping little ones entertained; craft tables, children’s entertainers, activity workshops and music shows are all brilliant ways to give tired parents a well earned break during the summer- which means more money in your tills! Top Tip: running an experience? Host it on Air Bnb experiences to drive the tourist trade. They will take a cut, but it could bring you in a whole new audience who could make you their favourite stop off spot during their holiday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1753262951424-70G9SDMQ0TM76OVMJOF6/unsplash-image-HbyYFFokvm0.jpg Blog - Summer sales: 5 tips for sizzling restaurant revenue - I CANNOT stress this enough- booking automation will make or break you during the summer. So many restaurant and pub bookings are made on a whim during the summer season- whether that’s because you’ve got a great beer garden and the sun has decided to come out, or it’s chucking it down (classic) and plans now need to change. If you’re not taking bookings on the day, or you’re taking enquiries only then ultimately you will end up losing business- potential guests will go to your competitors purely because it’s convenient. Make sure that you’re agile enough to take those last minute bookings and make the most of the season. Top tip: If you’re concerned about last minute bookings then have a small selection of tables with ‘reserved’ signs on them just incase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1753264302807-S8T79DXOUU1CIBFX6RE3/unsplash-image-RLw-UC03Gwc.jpg Blog - Summer sales: 5 tips for sizzling restaurant revenue - Ok soz, because this won’t be helpful if you’re actually reading this in the summer. But the fact is that for any sales campaign to work, it needs at least 6 weeks’ of lead time to make an impact. If you’re looking for something to change your fortunes right now, then yes, depending on budget you’ll be able to move the needle a little bit. But for next year, make a note in your diary to get your summer planning sorted in April. This gives you plenty of time to organise menus, booking types, promotions, guest comms, partnerships…the list goes on. Done right, the summer can really pay: but it shouldn’t ever be an afterthought. Oh, and if you are reading this in Summer? It’s the perfect time to get your Autumn plans sorted. https://www.londonhospitalitygirl.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/be1be900-5418-4028-a99e-4a8ed204ba3a/GNP-9363.jpg https://www.londonhospitalitygirl.com/about daily 0.75 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/354d61bc-41b6-4b62-a424-8c393fd6a989/GNP-9406.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1748792998601-84Y704NATITUMS3IF7FW/unsplash-image-tpVjU_vrGeU.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1748792915278-SQCE1E021U9TZLLRM157/unsplash-image-0UAAiIdR5Z4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/68371431-c758-4916-996b-f70990a6700e/Screenshot+2025-07-16+at+08.20.33.png https://www.londonhospitalitygirl.com/services daily 0.75 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1749400532900-F4FPIJTD5X389YD8SMZL/unsplash-image-7e2pe9wjL9M.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/59245b26-5237-43d7-b4fe-7eb352297dd5/GNP-9606.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1749400695132-NH8AH199TDOAX0UYSGZR/unsplash-image-KdeqA3aTnBY.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1749401165937-ZMX5YWYWAC78S1GHI9TX/unsplash-image-Fb0fHXzXyE0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1749401246551-4J2003X7XQ25U98UBWQ5/unsplash-image-PW8K-W-Kni0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/35b1f8f4-2181-484b-99c0-a84d74f59f27/Gordon+image.jpeg https://www.londonhospitalitygirl.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/b153bf32-ed75-46f6-a38e-ad14561cc295/GNP-9470.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/4129ec1f-0bd2-4b65-b112-f95ead6ab33c/Roxy+Leisure+Logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/6a1bb770-506f-4ab3-b8bc-f29e4afff645/The+Corrigan+Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/1d26c6bc-e969-4310-b7fc-6f3497c882e6/the+traitors+live+experience.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/c000e5ac-8950-4fea-9cfb-273fd9ab748c/Logotype_Kindred+Orange.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/0709e2b5-4bcf-4403-8a76-8f941b329278/kerb-logo.webp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/3c9082a5-ca64-42d8-9928-442a95e881ec/Our+Yummy+Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/965d7d26-ffc8-4cc7-bcbc-5ac0af366cb1/laine+logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/5d535dd6-a9d7-495d-b1c0-cf76b9075841/Time+out+market+logo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/b61c2558-bfd5-4c07-946e-f690c3e2e766/ascot-logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/68371431-c758-4916-996b-f70990a6700e/Screenshot+2025-07-16+at+08.20.33.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/26bd2a56-8f9a-4e12-80d4-8a2083e3b34e/Jo+image+for+website.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67b253e9eb302e61a8ffdffd/439d1a0f-cc12-4f27-933a-7fef1c7c5bee/Kathryn+pic.jpeg
