Mothers Day, One of the Busiest Days for Hospitality
Mother’s Day is one of the most important days for the hospitality industry. The special day always sees a rise in bookings and customer footfall, 2023 saw a prediction of over 1.2 billion British pounds being spent across retail. Meals out are the most common form of celebration. Between breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks, there are so many ways for establishments to stand out from the crowd and deliver a memorable experience for their customers.
We have plenty of sales and special discounts at the moment to help you make the most of the busy day. From crockery to cutlery, there’s something for every location. We also have great ideas to help your business stand out.
Innovative Ideas
Tailoring your menu to your customer base can help to ensure repeat customers and positive experiences. For example, creating a unique drinks menu with a focus on wines can boost your sales. Wine sales are up by 25 to 30% on Mother's Day, so why not tap into the trend? While you’re at it, take a look at our range of wine glasses, perfect for serving wine and alcohol-free alternatives.
Providing takeaway options for customers grew during the Covid-19 Pandemic, but has since cemented itself as a popular choice. People love to enjoy their favourite food in the comfort of their own homes, and Mother’s Day is no exception. Vegware boasts an impressive range of food serving biodegradables, several of which we’re running bulk discounts on. For example, the Plastic Deli Container with a hinged lid is available in 3 different sizes ( 8oz, 12oz and 16oz) and allows customers to easily transport their freshly cooked dishes home, keeping them warm and secure during transport.
Cut Prices on Cutlery
Harley is one of our best-selling ranges of cutlery, and it’s easy to see why. The doubled etched edge design of the Harley parish pattern cutlery is perfect for traditional dining rooms or modern restaurants looking for a retro style. The extremely popular style is decorative without being overly ornate giving it a classic look with the influence of Art Deco styling and straight lines.
We’re currently running a sale on Harley, with up to 20% off our best-selling products. From table forks to cake forks, we have everything you need for every dish, including tasty main dishes and mouthwatering desserts. The pieces in this range are made from 2.5mm gauge and 18/0 stainless steel, and are dishwasher safe too!
Carefully Curated Coffee
Sometimes, something as simple as a cup of coffee can make a world of difference and show appreciation. Mother’s Day coffee outings are as popular as their dinner counterparts. A collection of our Monin Syrups is on offer so you can provide your guests and customers with that perfect cup of coffee, crafted to their liking. Monin’s Almond Syrup would be ideal for iced coffees, which are just coming back into style as the last of the winter months warm up. Monin’s Syrup in Cinnamon adds a warming kick to coffee, another favourite for this time of year.
To go with your crafted cup of coffee, why not pair it with one of Simply’s Cappuccino Cup and Saucer. These simple white coffee cups are perfect for serving a range of hot drinks and the white colour elevates the drinks presentation. The durable construction ensures these cups and saucers withstand daily use, and are dishwasher safe for busy cafes.
