As summer heats up, June is packed with fun reasons to gather, celebrate, and, of course, enjoy amazing food. Whether you're looking to bring in new customers or keep regulars coming back for more, these key dates offer creative ways to highlight your restaurant’s menu. Here are some marketing tips to turn each celebration into a delicious dining experience—while also leveraging Masa+ QR Code Ordering to enhance sales in-store and off-premises.

June 8 – National Best Friends Day: Share a Meal with a BFF
There’s nothing better than catching up with a best friend over a great meal. Encourage customers to celebrate their friendships by offering shareable menu items like appetizers, family-style dishes, or even “Buy One, Get One” meal specials.

• Offer a “Bestie Combo” with two signature entrees and a shared dessert at a discounted price. Encourage friends to post their meals on social media and tag your restaurant for a chance to win a gift card.

Masa+ QR Code Marketing Tip: Friends can conveniently scan a QR code at their table to browse digital menus, order, and pay without waiting for staff. This makes group dining more enjoyable and ensures faster service during busy hours.

June 14 – National Movie Night: The Perfect Time for Takeout
A great movie night isn’t complete without the perfect food and drinks. Whether it’s pizza, wings, or gourmet burgers, encourage customers to grab takeout from your restaurant before settling in for their favorite film.

• Feature a special “Movie Night Bundle” with easy-to-share items like sliders, nachos, or popcorn-style chicken. Highlight beverages by pairing meals with themed mocktails inspired by classic films, smoothies, or milkshakes.

Masa+ QR Code Marketing Tip: Customers can place pickup and takeout orders directly from their phones using Masa+ QR Code Ordering, reducing wait times and streamlining the ordering process for both in-store and off-premises dining.

June 15 – Father’s Day: Celebrate Dad with a Feast
Father’s Day is all about treating Dad to something special—whether that’s a hearty steak, a BBQ platter, or a giant burger stacked with all the fixings. Make your menu stand out with exclusive Father’s Day specials that appeal to dads of all tastes.

• Offer a “Dad’s Choice” menu where fathers can customize their meal with premium toppings or extra-large portions. Consider a free dessert or drink for dads dining in with their families.

Masa+ QR Code Marketing Tip: Large family gatherings can be managed more efficiently when guests place and pay for their meals directly through Masa+, minimizing order errors and speeding up service.

June 19 – Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom and Culture
Juneteenth is a time to honor history, culture, and community. Restaurants can recognize this important day by featuring special dishes inspired by traditional soul food or partnering with local businesses for a collaborative menu.

• Highlight foods like barbeque, red velvet cake, cornbread, or southern potato salad. Share the significance behind the Juneteenth menu to engage customers and show appreciation for the day’s history and traditions.

Masa+ QR Code Marketing Tip: Take advantage of QR codes to let customers quickly scan a QR code to place their orders, reducing long lines and ensuring a smoother dining experience.

June 20 – First Day of Summer: Kick Off the Season with Refreshing Eats
Summer is here, and it’s time for light, refreshing, and vibrant flavors. Whether it’s fresh seafood, crisp salads, or tropical drinks, restaurants can capitalize on the excitement of the dawn of the summer season.

• Introduce a “Summer Kickoff” menu featuring seasonal ingredients like watermelon, berries, and citrus. Consider happy hour specials or outdoor dining events to make the most of the sunny weather.

Masa+ QR Code Marketing Tip: Outdoor diners can enjoy seamless ordering by scanning a QR code to browse the menu, order, and pay without waiting for a server, enhancing customer satisfaction and boosting sales.

Last Day of School: Celebrate the Start of Summer Vacation
For students and teachers alike, the last day of school marks the beginning of a well-deserved summer break. Families, friends, and school staff often look for ways to celebrate, making it a great opportunity for restaurants to attract groups looking for a fun dining experience.

• Offer a "School’s Out Special" with discounted meals for students and teachers or a family-friendly bundle that makes group dining more affordable. Consider hosting a themed event with music, games, or a free treat for kids.

Masa+ QR Code Marketing Tip: Large groups can easily browse the menu, place their orders, and pay separately without hassle. This allows families and friends to focus on enjoying their meal while ensuring smooth service during peak hours.
