Copy this. Set it up once. Let it bring people in every single month on autopilot. 🖨️ Add this small sign to your counter, table, or check folder: "🎂 Birthday coming up? Get a FREE [ITEM] on us!" Scan to sign up 👇 [QR CODE → links to a simple name/email/birthday signup form] Why this works: - Birthday promos have some of the highest redemption rates of any restaurant offer - You're building a real customer list every single day without doing anything extra - One signup = one guaranteed visit per year at minimum, often with a party of friends - The "free item" costs you almost nothing compared to the table spend it brings in What to offer: - Free dessert - Free appetizer - Free drink - $10 off their birthday meal Pick whatever feels right for your margins. Even a free cookie works. How to set this up today for free: Use Google Forms or any form tool to collect name, email, phone, and birthday month. Set a reminder to email them the week before their birthday. Takes 20 minutes to build, runs forever. Pro Tip from the Lab: If you want to supercharge this offer, swap the free item for a BOGO birthday meal. It consistently pulls higher signups and brings more people through the door (birthday guests rarely eat alone). It feels more generous and costs you the same or less per head when you factor in the full table spend. Want this running completely on autopilot? Signups, birthday emails, and redemption tracking all handled for you? That's the List Launcher step inside CafeFuel.
