For most of us, our patrons know us for the food we have served them in the past. Developing personal relationships upon their return means as long as the food is still great, we will more than likely retain these same clients. Word of mouth can also work in our favor as new referrals of friends of existing patrons. All restaurants can cultivate ties through its food. That’s been harder to do during COVID-19, but now that our patrons are getting out to shop, continue entertainment options, we as restaurant owners can let them know we are caring and connected. яндекс
