Top tips for hosting a New Year’s Eve event

New Year’s Eve is just a few days away, and as with all holidays, Saturday 31st December means crowds of potential customers. With a little extra preparation, you can take advantage of 2023’s new year at your venue. Here are our tips for a very happy New Year’s Party.

Holiday Specials

Capitalise on the holiday and entice customers with a special promotion. A holiday deal, such as a two-for-one offer, helps attract new customers.

Staff

Do you have enough staff on hand for New Year’s Eve? Make sure you have plenty of staff handy during the holiday rush. Just an extra helper or two can make all the difference. And don’t forget the Christmas spirit – perhaps motivate your staff with some seasonal rewards.

Cater for the extra traffic

Investing in technology can help you cater for the extra rush of traffic on New Year’s Eve. Many solutions are available, such as table management solutions, call buttons, and staff & customer paging systems. Technology can improve communication significantly, allowing staff to perform to their full potential and keep guests happy.

Collect contact details

Having an event photographer will give you the perfect reason to take contact details for further marketing. Hire a photographer or arm a team member with a camera to take snapshots of families. Collect their email addresses afterwards to send them a copy of the photo.

Food safety

Last but certainly not least is food safety. The extra traffic at Christmas and New Year means food safety is more important than ever. A wireless food safety system helps ensure your food products reach customers in top-quality condition.
