Very important to replicate as close as possible to a customer's on-premise dining experience they expect this & will keep coming back for more. Please don't leave them questioning that they could have done better at home. The end product through delivery is reflective of the operators – NOT the delivery service Customers need reassurance of food safety measures, ie tamper-proof stickers/bags Environmental solutions available that are ovenable, microwaveable, compostable etc. 2/3 of consumers admit they prefer take-out/delivery even after the dine in restrictions have lifted. This will continue to be a relevant revenue stream for operators and remain a good growth opportunity.

The clothing can be a great way for your restaurant to get around via word of mouth. You can make your merchandise valuable by creating an exclusive contest. This also helps create buzz and interest, and it's a great option when first introducing your new product lines. Offering branded merchandise can be a very valuable and it can be an excellent way to grow your brand. But, you should do careful research beforehand to ensure that there is enough customer demand and interest in merchandise before making an investment.
