Valentine's Day: How to make the evening a success for your restaurant

In exactly one month, the time has come again: Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and couples in love are already looking for special experiences to enjoy together. For restaurants, caterers, and hoteliers, this is the perfect opportunity not only to ensure happy guests but also to secure their own planning and revenue.

With the prepayment option from foratable PAY restaurateurs can kill two birds with one stone: guests can book their Valentine's Day special stress-free without the risk of no-shows.

Why prepayment?

With prepayments, you create a clear commitment right from the start. And the best part: the guest experience benefits from it too.

●    Better planning: You know in advance how many guests to expect and can optimize your capacity management.

●    Secure revenue: Payment is made easily via credit card or TWINT, and reservations are immediately binding.

●    Enhance the experience: Your guests can look forward to a perfectly organized Valentine's Day experience and enjoy a relaxed evening together.

Prepayment with foratable PAY:

1.   Set amounts and shifts freely: You decide how much the prepayment should be and whether it applies to specific time slots.

2.   Simple payment: Your guests pay directly when booking – online, conveniently, and securely using common payment methods.

3.   Phone reservations? No problem! If a guest calls, simply send them a payment link via email. The booking is then automatically confirmed only after a successful transaction.
