Recommendations to Improve Sales
- Promotions During Low Sales Months:

- Focus on Popular Items:
- The top-selling items include Sandwiches, Frankies, and Cold Coffee. Focusing marketing efforts on these popular items, perhaps through special deals or highlighting them in advertising, could drive more sales. For instance, a "Combo Deal" featuring a Sandwich and Cold Coffee at a discounted price could be appealing.
- Increase Availability During Peak Times:
- October 2022 saw peak sales. Ensuring that popular items are well-stocked during this peak period can help meet customer demand and maximize sales. Additionally, consider extending operating hours or adding more staff during peak times to handle the increased customer flow efficiently.
- Leverage Cash Transactions:
- Cash transactions accounted for a higher total sales figure compared to online transactions. Consider offering incentives for cash payments, such as discounts or loyalty points, to encourage more customers to choose this payment method. This could also help reduce transaction fees associated with online payments.
- Enhance Online Presence:
- Although cash transactions are higher, online transactions still represent a significant portion of sales. Enhancing the restaurant's online presence through social media marketing, online ordering systems, and delivery partnerships could attract more online customers. Offering exclusive online deals or discounts could also boost online sales.
Conclusion
By implementing these strategies, the restaurant can potentially enhance sales performance and better align with customer preferences. Monitoring sales trends and continuously adapting marketing and operational strategies will be key to sustaining growth and maximizing revenue.
