Here’s how to make the most of the madness - and how Appetite can help.
Big Groups, Bigger Expectations
People are planning their festive nights out… yesterday. The organiser of the group chat is hunting for somewhere that’s easy to book, good value, and guaranteed to impress. If your booking info isn’t clear, or your menu takes five clicks to find, they’re moving on.
Appetite makes it easy - it puts your restaurant right in front of people when they’re planning, comparing, and deciding. So when someone says, “Where should we go?”, your name’s already in the mix.
Make It Easy, Make It Memorable
Big groups want big energy - simple menus, quick decisions, and no drama. But they also want a ✨night✨. The kind where everyone enjoys their meals, stays longer than planned, drinks a few too many, and wakes up with a banging headache the next morning thinking ‘let’s book that again next year’.
Appetite helps you stay top of mind when those memories hit the app the next day. Happy experiences turn into stand out memories and excellent recs - and that’s how new diners find you.
Early Birds Win December
By the time December hits, it’s game over for last-minute bookings. So if you’re planning festive menus or limited-time perks, get them out early. Appetite Premium’s ‘Perks’ allows you to get your offers in front of diners before they start panic-booking.
After the Party Ends
January’s quieter, but it doesn’t have to be. Keep the momentum going by turning December groups into regulars - the ones who say, “That place was great, let’s go back.” Appetite makes re-engagement easy, with diners able to save and share their favourite spots straight from the app.
