Holidays are a unique opportunity for your restaurant to shine. By establishing special schedules, you not only offer a unique gastronomic experience but also open the door to new economic opportunities.

Increase your revenue with special menus
What better way to celebrate a special day than with an equally extraordinary menu?
Establishing schedules for holidays allows you to introduce exclusive menus and dishes, creating a unique culinary experience that justifies special rates and, at the same time, significantly boosts your revenue.
Minimize no-shows and maximize your capacity.
The sad reality is that on peak days, such as holidays, no-shows can be a problem.
By setting specific schedules, you can more effectively manage your capacity, minimizing ghost reservations and ensuring that each table is filled with food lovers and not left empty due to an unexpected cancellation.
Setting specific schedules for holidays will improve communication with your customers. Diners will value the transparency and be more open to spending extra for a distinctive experience if they are aware in advance that prices might fluctuate on these special occasions.
This open communication builds long-term trust and loyalty.
How to implement holiday schedules
Exclusive menus
Design special menus for holidays that highlight the excellence of your cuisine. Set up your special menu from the Settings of the Zeus Manager Reservations Module and add the specific availability of the menu, prices, etc.
Holiday calendar
Check the 2024 holiday calendar to select the days on which you want to have a special menu (Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, Father's and Mother's Day, etc.).
Reservation policy
Implement a clear reservation policy for holidays. Ask for confirmations and deposits to prevent no-shows and make sure every table is a culinary gem that is fully enjoyed.
Proactive communication
Excitedly announce your holiday schedules on your social media and website. Inform your customers about the special menus and price changes to avoid unpleasant surprises.
