One method a local establishment used was to hold a fund raiser for the local food pantry. 10% of all dinner only costs went to the food pantry. There were volunteers from the food pantry greeting customers and busing tables. This brought new customers who have continued to dine there. It is so crowded on weekends we need reservations.

try the sharks or dragons on the shows Shark Tank (USA) or Dragons Den (CANADA). they helped a poor baker get popular. but be convincing. you could also put ads on Twitter or Facebook or whatever. Try making a webpage or if worse comes to worse, you might have to take up a second job.

I’d suggest you contact a company called RestaurantMarketingGroup.org. They have the best program I’ve seen. They don’t do it themselves, they show you the most effective and cheapest way to do e-mail, direct mail, and other ways of marketing. And the results that I’ve seen are great. They have great training and some tools that make it easy.

First, you need to ask yourself if you are providing a good product.
If you have a good product and decent location, then consider putting some cash into marketing.
A few quick ideas:
Keep your bathrooms sparkling clean
Post specials on local job boards
Get with a local food bank to donate all your day olds
Hire someone to wear a sandwich board sign (these actually work)
Hand out 10% off discount cards to EVERYONE you know

People respond to direct mail offers on food more than anything else. Direct mail can be your best friend, and it works quickly.
Any method you canuse to recycle people back through your doors sooner and more often than they would on their own. Direct Mail accomplishes this.
Also, "Buy 3 get one Free" cards ( they work far better than 4 for 1 and 10 for 1) Sure you are discounting one of the meals…but people can achieve "3" very easily, and that motivates them to get through those three purchases quickly…and….they bring people with them every visit!
Openly look for opportunities to allow other businesses print coupons to your establishment on their promotional material. This lets them to ad value to their events…and then you get their traffic.
