Copy this. Send it the morning of your slowest day. Watch the difference by dinner.
📲 Text blast to your customer list (or post if you don't have texting set up):
Hey [FIRST NAME]! [RESTAURANT NAME] here. We've got a table with your name on it tonight 👀
Come in between [TIME] and [TIME] and grab [SPECIFIC ITEM] for [SPECIAL PRICE/OFFER].
Just show this text. No app, no code, no hoops.
See you tonight!
Why this works:
- Targets your known weakest window instead of a generic promo
- "Show this text" removes all friction — no codes, no app downloads
- Time-boxed urgency without sounding desperate
- Works for texting platforms (SimpleTexting, Podium, CafeFuel) or as a Facebook/Instagram story if no texting exists yet
Want this sent automatically every week without you remembering to write it? That's what CafeFuel does.
