My lunch biz is pretty bad, what are some ways you guys have found to raise lunch sales? How do you present your company to local business and what makes them order?
thanks for any help in advance
Go to your local business’ and introduce yourself. The best way to get lunch sales up is to go out and shake some hands. Do the things no one else is willing to do. Then follow up with each of them with a short phone call. Works like a charm.

P_Lev,
As much advertising as I’ve done in my life and as much as I know about reading a market, the one thing that has always been my achilles heel has been dayshift sales. Before opening my own store I’ve always been blessed with high volume national chain stores so I never really had to worry about dayshift because it was always just… there.
Since that time I’ve opened my own place. When I first opened my night business was doing relatively well and I had no complaints. My dayshift was suffering however and I thought I finally met my match… but I was determined I wouldn’t let it beat me. I worked so hard on getting this part of my business going that at one point, it was the only thing I focused on in my store (Don’t do that. It can lead to a whole lot of other problems if you don’t watch it).
Here are some things I’ve picked up over the past few months in Think Tank. Take out of this what you think you’ll need and… good luck with the dayshift. -J_r0kk
