Memorial Day is approaching fast! That means it’s time to break out all the barbeque and ribs you can to satisfy your guests. Above we have a red, white, and blue table tent that is perfect for promoting your specials. It’s easy to update online and print in minutes with the Menu Editor. If you’re ambitious, you could get them on your tables today.  Every mall, car dealership, and fire works warehouse will be having a sale so people will be out and about. Take advantage of hungry deal shoppers with these five, last-minute Memorial Day promotion ideas:

  1. BBQ Party Package. BBQ is a great way to feed a huge party for a small amount of money. Promote a party package that includes the slaw, potato salad and beans. Oh yeah, don’t forget the banana pudding.
  2. Veterans. Make sure we don’t forget the reason we are celebrating today. Invite local veterans to eat at your restaurant for free! You still have time to run this promo on Facebook.
  3. Flags for kids. Give a mini American flag to every kid that walks in the door to show how patriotic your restaurant is.
  4. Coloring contest. Hand out coloring books with red, white, and blue crayons. Hold a coloring contest for the kids to win a free ice cream scoop. Send the winning drawings to the local media.
  5. Drinks. If you have a bar or a pub, let soldiers and veterans drink half price. This is another great Facebook and Twitter promo.

How will your restaurant be celebrating Memorial Day? Tell us about it in the comments below.
