The month of October is famous for Fall Harvest Festivals, pumpkin patch trips, the Major League Baseball Post-Season Playoffs, and Halloween. Each one of these October activities provides restaurant owners an opportunity to encourage new and existing customers to visit their restaurant by incentivizing menu purchases via gift card, loyalty, and rewards-based promotions.

Here are a few ways restaurants can engage their customers this October:

MLB Post-Season Playoffs - Begins October 7

​Millions of baseball fans will tune in to watch the top National League and American League teams compete for the Major League Baseball World Series title. For restaurants, the baseball post-season provides an ideal opportunity for hosting limited-time discounts at “watch parties,” offering baseball-themed take-home meal kits, promoting in-house delivery services, and utilizing QR code-based digital menus.

National Dessert Day - October 14

There’s almost no way you can go wrong on National Dessert Day. Whether you’re serving a classic pumpkin pie, apple strudel, baklava, churros, ice cream, or cookies, there’s a delicious dessert to satisfy every sweet tooth out there. This National Dessert Day, restaurants can encourage their customers to try new and existing desserts with buy-one-get-one deals and loyalty-based incentives. With Aldelo Express custom menu item modifiers built into the point-of-sale and Masa+ Digital Menus, guests can customize their desserts with add-ons such as toppings, flavors, and mix-ins.

National Chocolate Day - October 28

Cacao seeds have been consumed for thousands of years. But chocolate candy as we know it first began being perfected in the last few hundred years. Today, Americans collectively produce and consume trillions of pounds of chocolate every year. With seemingly limitless chocolate varieties and uses, National Chocolate Day provides the perfect stage for chocolate to shine. Here are some creative ways to use chocolate on your restaurant menu:

• Chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie (or ice cream sundae!)
• Pork legs with chili and chocolate
• Flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce
• Classic chocolate cupcakes
• Chicken with chocolate-based “mole” sauce
• Mini chocolate mousse cups

This National Dessert Day, restaurants can encourage their customers to try new and existing desserts with buy-one-get-one deals and loyalty-based incentives
