Promotions & Discounts on Slot Rules
Fill the quiet shifts with a reason to come.
A restaurant's weakest shifts are also its most predictable. Tuesday lunch, early Thursday dinner, the 2pm Saturday gap between services — everyone in the industry knows them. Fixing them doesn't need a campaign, it needs a nudge: a small reason for a guest choosing between your venue and staying home.
Promotions & Discounts on Slot Rules let you attach an offer to any slot, day, or date range. "20% off ribs on Tuesday lunch." "Welcome drink if you book before 7pm on Thursdays." "Complimentary dessert for bookings made 48 hours in advance on off-peak dates." The promotion appears directly on the booking form when the guest picks a matching slot — they see the reason to book that time instead of another.
The promotion is data, not just marketing copy. Every booking made under a promotion is tagged, so later you can see exactly how many covers that specific offer drove, what the average party size was, what the no-show rate was. Good promotions stay, bad ones get retired — with numbers to back the decision.
Runs with all the other slot rules: deposit, cancellation, capacity, working time. The guest sees one coherent booking form; underneath, the rules compose cleanly.
