Begin planning 4–6 weeks before the holiday. Finalise menu and pricing first. Open reservations early. Order stock with plenty of lead time — suppliers sell out. Brief the entire team on the plan.
A pre-holiday planning checklist for restaurant managers preparing for peak seasonal periods — Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or major local events. Covers special menu development and pricing, staffing and scheduling for extended hours, reservation management and capacity planning, supplier ordering for increased volume, decoration and ambiance updates, and the marketing push that fills the book.
Holiday periods can generate a disproportionate share of annual revenue — a restaurant that's fully booked with a premium menu on Valentine's Day or Christmas Eve can earn more in one night than an average week. But the premium only works if every operational detail is planned — enough staff, enough stock, and no surprises.
