What Is a Restaurant Gift Card?

Whether you just opened a restaurant or have worked in this industry for many years, Restaurant Gift Card promotion is a great idea - the certificate holder will have a chance to visit your establishment at any time convenient to them while you are able to generate profit immediately since the individual purchasing the card will pay upfront. You can allow your customers to indicate the value of the certificate, establish it yourself, or choose certain dishes that can be obtained for free by the individual that comes to the restaurant with the gift card.

How to Make a Restaurant Gift Certificate?

Here are some tips that will help you create a gift certificate for a restaurant:

1. Make sure you use colors, fonts, ornaments, and embellishments already closely associated with your brand. It will build a stronger rapport with your potential guest and increase the recognition of your establishment especially if the customer will keep the Restaurant Gift Card with similar cards.
2. When it comes to the contents of the certificate, keep it simple - it will be enough to draw several lines to indicate the name of the restaurant, its location (in case there is a chain of cafes and restaurants and this gift card can only be used in one of them), the price of the meal the guest can receive, and the name of the person that can use the certificate and eat at your place. Alternatively, you can skip the last field if you want to give any cardholder an opportunity to use the certificate. You should also give a person that buys the certificate an option to write their own name on the card - either add one more line or leave some space on the card for a little message.
3. Since the gift certificate is small, you should use the space on the back of the card to promote your restaurant. The possibilities here are endless - you may insert a logo of your restaurant, a map that shows how to find your place or what landmarks are next to it, a photo of your signature dish, or a discount you offer - for instance, all take-outs will cost 15% less.
4. Do not forget to promote the gift cards - you should mention them on your website and list the terms and conditions you offer. Additionally, call your guests to action by including a Restaurant Gift Certificate as one of the items on the menu. A receipt your customers get at the end of their meal can also contain a reference to a gift card - use different opportunities to promote a gift card, especially during the holiday season.
