Whenever you open up your restaurant doors, you have one chance to pull the customer in. Usually, it’s your glowing smile that does the trick, but if you’re not feeling all that smiley, or you’re getting a lot of business at once, you need to let your restaurant do the talking (and the smiling for you). With display stands, you can showcase your best work – and give yourself a little break as well as a boost in sales. There are numerous reasons to start putting these stands up in your store – but here are three that really matter.
Display Stands
1. You Will Increase Your Sales
When you use display stands to show off your latest pastry or dish, you’re going to show people what they can expect when they order that dish. So often, menus don’t have pictures on them, so the stand helps them make a decision based on what they will actually receive, rather than what they think they’re going to get. That leads to more sales, especially when you showcase higher priced items. If the customer is going to be spending a lot of money, they should find out what their spending it on, right? Also, if you’re serving directly from these stands, as you might with pastries, seeing that others have bought up the rest of the pastry might be incentive enough for a customer to try it.
2. You Will Show Off Your New Items
Instead of having to explain the new items on your menu, you can show them off. By attractively arranging your new pastries or other dishes, people get to see what it will look like and they will be able to imagine what it tastes like. In fact, you might want to include a few samples at the base of the stand so that people can taste the new item too, and then be inspired to order one for themselves.
3. You Will Protect Your Foods
If you want the open air approach at a bakery or a café, the display stand helps to protect the foods from germs in the air as well as bugs. Cover up the goods after they’ve already had a chance to cool from the oven so that you’re not trapping in moisture as well. If you want to display hot items, you might want to use glass topped chafing dishes instead. These tend to hold up better and they will keep the food warm and ready to eat.
With display stands, you can start showcasing the delicious tastes of your restaurant. After all, being put on display should be a positive thing, not a highlight of your flaws.

What’s On Your Bulletin Board?
Getting the word out is one of the hardest things to do for any business owner. But when you’re running a busy and successful restaurant, it gets all the more difficult. In order to make sure your employees and your guests know what’s changing in your store, you might want to invest in a simple piece of communication technology – a bulletin board. Sounds too easy, right? You might be surprised at how useful this piece of cork really is.
Employees Know What’s Going On
When your menu changes, would you rather talk to each individual employee on their own or would you rather post up the changes in the employee timecard area and know that you’ve saved yourself time while also educating your crew? The answer seems pretty simple. You can hang calendars, schedules, and even menu changes on the bulletin board, helping everyone stay up to date on their jobs as well as on what’s expected of them. You can also allow employees to post notes to other employees on the board to help facilitate discussions about shift changes.
Customers Know What’s Going On
But a bulletin board in your entryway is a great way to help customers see if your restaurant is for them. By posting your menu, the prices, and your daily specials, people can easily look at this area, make a decision and either leave or get a table. Many restaurants now put a glass enclosed bulletin board on the exterior of their building to accomplish these tasks. Some people who are in the area might not be ready to eat just yet, but having the knowledge of the restaurant will help them make plans for later.
Fun Ways to Use a Bulletin Board
You can also use a bulletin board to highlight special employees or events at your restaurant. Perhaps you have a charity event that you want guests to come to or you might want to showcase a special guest or entertainment group that’s going to be coming to town. Try to make this board exciting and new each week to keep people coming back to see what else you can offer them. Make sure the items posted are colorful and also clearly legible. You can also use laminated pieces of paper to use again and again, instead of printing new signage.
Your bulletin board can do all the talking for you – and that’s a relief. It’s much easier that talking to everyone individually or trying to coerce employees into a long drawn out meeting.
