When you are new to the restaurant business, it’s not always possible to spend a lot of money on an advertising budget to bring in new restaurant customers . At the beginning most of your time will be occupied working out how to run a restaurant .  Rather than paying for print or other types of media advertising, here are a couple of ideas to help you generate the new clients you need to start out. -Local Charity Donations Charities are often having some sort of fundraiser for their group, and you can offer a gift certificate good for a set amount good at your establishment. Confirm with your accountant or lawyer what amount may be tax deductible. The mere word-of-mouth publicity alone will be worth your donation will be worth the effort. In addition to gaining the reputation for being actively concerned and active in the community, your restaurant might be listed on the donor’s list for the event you have given gift certificates for. Note that in order to get the listing, you might have to donate a set amount like at least $100. But you CAN set limitations as to how long the certificates are good for (say a year or two years) or exclude them from use on certain holidays like Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve when you can reasonably expect to be closed or extremely busy. Once you have decided on the amounts/limitations, you can easily have the certificates printed up on your business computer and signed by you to be delivered to the charity. -Sponsor Your Local Sports Team You can help cover the cost of uniforms or other necessary equipment for a local baseball, football or cricket team or any such organisation
