Every week we comb through the news to find employment trends affecting the hospitality\u00a0<\/span>industry<\/span>\u00a0so you don\u2019t have to. This week\u2019s topic:\u00a0<\/span>what\u00a0<\/span>businesses\u00a0<\/span>can expect for Memorial Day weekend.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Memorial Day Weekend<\/strong><\/h5>\n

As we quickly approach Memorial Day weekend, <\/span>businesses should be planning\u00a0for a busy\u00a0<\/span>couple days\u00a0<\/span>as people head out to enjoy the long weekend<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>This is the first Memorial Day Weekend <\/span>since before the pandemic and more recently,\u00a0<\/span>the first\u00a0federal holiday since the\u00a0<\/span>CDC announced<\/span>\u00a0it<\/span>\u00a0had<\/span>\u00a0loosened\u00a0<\/span>restrictions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for those that are fully\u00a0<\/span>vaccinated<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because LGC has been operating in the hospitality industry for almost twenty years, we have a strong pulse on\u00a0<\/span>industry trends.\u00a0<\/span>Our expertise leads us to<\/span> believe that bars and restaurants can expect a busier than average Memorial Day <\/span>weekend as\u00a0<\/span>people take advantage of\u00a0<\/span>the warm weather. In order to set yourself up for success, it\u2019s important to\u00a0<\/span>properly set expectations<\/span>. Below we lay out<\/span>\u00a0what restaurants can expect for Memorial Day weekend.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have outdoor seating, it<\/span><\/b>\u2019ll\u00a0<\/span><\/b>be busy.<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

For the long weekend, customers will be looking to take advantage of nice weather and enjoy some time outdoors.\u00a0<\/span>Unless<\/span>\u00a0the weather is less than ideal<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 like a serious downpour \u2013<\/span>\u00a0we suggest planning for a busy patio<\/span>. There are a few ways you can set yourself up for success:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Prepare outdoor space as best you can to allow for different group sizes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Set up server stations on the patio to\u00a0<\/span>minimize the back and forth for employees.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Have a seating plan that takes any capacity restrictions into account.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Expect local\u00a0travelers if you\u2019re in a tourist area.<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

    While most restaurant-goers probably won\u2019t hop on a plane this weekend, they\u2019ll likely be traveling\u00a0<\/span>to local tourist areas\u00a0<\/span>that provide\u00a0a fun\u00a0environment.\u00a0<\/span>If you\u2019re located in one of these areas, expect local travelers who might even be staying the weekend.\u00a0<\/span>To<\/span>\u00a0stay ahead of the competition,\u00a0<\/span>consider offering d<\/span>eal<\/span>s on drinks or food, or other\u00a0tactics that can help draw in customers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Being understaffed will turn customers away.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

    Most of us are aware of the nationwide shortage of restaurant employees and the struggles hiring managers are facing. Despite this, you should do your best to be fully staffed \u2013\u00a0<\/span>or even going a step further by implementing an on-call team.<\/span>\u00a0If you\u2019re located in a market saturated with competitors, customers will leave in favor of a r<\/span>estaurant that can accommodate their requests.\u00a0<\/span>If you\u2019re struggling with hiring or\u00a0<\/span>last-minute<\/span>\u00a0absences, reach out to a staffing partner like LGC for assistance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    For Memorial Day weekend, restaurants should expect an\u00a0<\/span>influx of customers looking to relax and have a good time. But remember, the very purpose of the holiday is\u00a0<\/span>to honor military personnel who died in service, so make sure your actions reflect that this weekend.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    ***<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Being understaffed, especially as restaurants are trying to build their business back up, can be a huge detriment to a guest\u2019s experience. Contact LGC for staffing assistance, even if you only need help for a day. We\u2019ll help i<\/span><\/i>n whatever way we can.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
