Hi [USER=77590]@kate_r[/USER],
I’m not a restaurant expert, but I would expect your business to be highly volatile, and could be affected by public holidays, school holidays, a nearby office closing down, or a million other things so 3 days probably doesn’t mean anything at all.
If it were me and I was concerned I’d try to “get things moving” in more sustainable ways during those down times. Rather than throw out discounts (short term) I’d think about how to make the shop-front more eye-catching, or where a strategically placed sign might help, or simplified menu, or better lunch meal deals (just random examples) or other ideas that may help in a more permanent way.
Just a couple of thoughts for you while waiting for some restauranty people to offer their experience.
Dave
