As the world has now surfaced from the pandemic, the restaurant and hospitality industry overall has seen sustainable and robust growth, with an unstoppable recovery. Valentine’s day is no longer just for couples, but for everyone. It’s celebrating the day of love with your family, with your friends, we’ve been hearing all about the “Galantines”, haven’t we? and so much more. This simply means date nights doubled and restaurants full. So being said, it is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. Restaurang.org estimates that about 104 million Americans visit a restaurant for Valentine’s day. That’s 34% of couples, most of which are in their mid-20s to early 40s. Most adults (85%) plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day, according to a Popmenu study. Of those celebrating, 74% expect to dine out or order takeout/delivery from restaurants. Delivering a top notch experience for the customers is the priority for giving them their heart’s desire. A bit cheesy? Well that’s exactly what it needs to be, because it is the ultimate day to celebrate in the name of L-O-V-E.
