LTO Calendar Template
Deciding what you want to promote can be a big enough challenge for a busy restaurant operator, but the planning it takes for a successful LTO means an even bigger investment in time. Grande has created a calendar template to get you started with your planning. The five suggested recipes from above have been integrated into the calendar with timing needed to plan, implement and promote your LTO. Also included in the template is a blank calendar for you to fill in your own menu ideas. Just adjust the timing and add in any additional activities to get your team a head start in planning your specials.
Downloadable Content to Promote your Specials
Once your LTO is developed and ready to go, communicating to your target audience is critical to success. Promote your specials often using social media, in-store signage, box toppers and flyers. To help you in your efforts, Grande has created several social media posts for you to add your specials or if you use our suggested recipes, ready-to-go posts are also available for download. We even have instructions on how to create an online poll to get feedback from your followers on what to offer.
In addition to digital content we have customizable box toppers for you to download and fill in your store information and LTO details. Using the five suggested Grande recipes, we have you covered there with pre-designed box toppers.
