For years, your country club probably catered primarily to the Baby Boomer generation. However, now that you may be seeing more and more Millennials and perhaps even Gen Z starting to sign up, here are some tips to help you keep your restaurant and menu relevant.
- Make use of modern tech – The upcoming generations have been raised on technology and use it in every aspect of life. Allowing members to place an order from an app for takeout or even from a table may increase the attraction for newer club members.
- Broaden your cuisine – Millennials and Gen Z love international foods, so you may need to update your menu to appeal to these tastes. Also, you may be encountering various dietary requests and requirements. For example, over 1% of people now need to eat a gluten free diet (for health reasons, not by choice).
- Use social media accounts – Nearly everyone is on Facebook, and most people are on Instagram as well. This is a good place to make announcements, reveal seasonal menus, and even show off food. Don’t forget to repost the great meals that your members display. Have a hashtag, so it is easy for you to find them.
