Five questions before you launch.
What capacity is genuinely available?
Use the real table inventory and kitchen capacity, not the theoretical maximum.
Who is the night for?
Families, couples, local workers, existing regulars and value-seekers respond to different ideas.
What makes it distinct?
Name the occasion, define the menu and create a reason to choose that date.
How will people hear about it?
Start with previous guests and the local catchment before relying on broad paid reach.
Can the team deliver and sell it?
Brief the floor, plan upsells and make sure the guest experience can support a repeat.
