How Arby's Restaurant Co-Founder Used Barter to BUMP Alcohol Sales 27%
Thanks Dien,
Got Referred to the Co-Founder of Arby's Restaurants.
While Swapping Restaurant Stories he told me
How He Used a WEIRD Barter Tactic at one of his personally owned Restaurants.
A - Robert had an empty back room.
B - So He Opened a Beauty Parlor.
C - Window signs, Menu Insert, Website offer, Table Top Display said,
"IF you call ahead and Reserve a Table for Lunch or Dinner on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday -
You get F-r-e-e Beauty Parlor Services - Hair and Manicures and Pedicures...
While you wait for your Reservation time.
=====
The Result of Bartering F-r-e-e Beauty Parlor Treatments
to Fill his Restaurant Seats on SLOW DAYS?
Robert says - Groups of women would show up.
Talk and swap gossip while DRINKING.
His hi-margin Alcohol Sales went up by 27%.
Down-Side -
Robert said he had to Barter with Cabbies -
by providing their wives and girlfriends F-r-e-e Pedicures
and manicures - for Being ON CALL to take the Inebriated women home.
Thanks,
Glenn
