What do today’s restaurant operators need to manage the challenging sales environment? A break. Specifically, a coffee break. More specifically, a specialty beverage break. That is, according to Revenue Management Solutions (RMS) recent survey, Tapping into Specialty Beverages to Maximize Restaurant Sales , which suggests that the coffee (or boba or smoothie or soda) break is a growing trend— and one that could significantly boost your restaurant’s revenue.

School's out, the farmer's markets are booming, and summer vacation plans are finally coming to life. The 4th of July weekend offers so much more than an Independence Day celebration. It's peak summer. But unlike Mother's Day and Cinco de Mayo , the 4th of July is a quieter holiday for restaurants. Many people spend their day off relaxing with family, firing up the grill at a backyard barbecue, or catching the local fireworks or parade.

Business travelers? They’re the dreamiest. They’ll fill bar seats that other customers may find less desirable, quietly relax or have a friendly chat with the bartender, and happily consent to upsells, as they’re often paying with a company per diem. More and more people traveling for work are folding sightseeing and entertainment into their trips as part of the “bleisure” travel trend.

Trying to beat the heat and the dinner rush? Dine later. Summer nights are one of the season’s great joys. As someone who will take 90 degrees and full humidity over a crisp, autumn day any time (so much layering ), I’m never more excited to dine outside. Because I know not everyone shares my enthusiasm, I try to be sympathetic to loved ones who wilt in the sun whenever I’m searching for restaurant reservations that can accommodate everyone.
