Ten Ways to Boost Business at your Bistro Restaurant/Cafe

1. It may be French, Spanish, Italian or even Portuguese. But give it a name we can say without sounding foolish.
2. Less is more. Do a few things well. Great (short) wine list. Great (short) desert list.
3. What do you want people to come to you for? Romance? Family? Ambiance? Amazing fish? Decide.
4. Light the candles on time.
5. Re-place the menus before they look tired and dirty.
6. Get clear, easy to read bills/checks with clear service/tipping policy. 
7. Ask people how they found out about you: spot themes and use that channel for more business.
8. Allow people to sit where they want. Not just to fill the window for you so you look busy.
9. Be attentive but not fussy. Ensure the experience is close to perfect.
10. Thank people for coming. Give them a card with your details.
