We Strive for Your Patrons Satisfaction
When guests dress up for the evening and dine in fine restaurants, they expect the best: superb food, a relaxing atmosphere, exceptional service, fine china, beautiful crystal, and coasters.
Coasters? Yes indeed. Increasingly, the best restaurants use six-ply “quality” paper coasters to personalize service, quiet dining areas, enhance ambiance, and minimize the chipping of fine china. They work in unison with the rest of your restaurant’s atmosphere to create a complete and exceptional experience.
Advertising Coasters Help to Establish Identity
Harvey’s Prime Rib in Westmont, IL uses a maroon and gray quality coaster that features a chandelier and their logo. The chandelier is reminiscent of the 24 chandeliers in their restaurant. The main reason Harvey’s uses coasters is to protect customers’ clothing by absorbing spills and drips, but according to Harvey’s Mr. Terry Naba, the coasters are also a form of advertising that helps to establish an atmosphere that’s a little different. “Our atmosphere and good food are what make Harvey’s unique,” said Mr. Naba. “Our coaster helps to make Harvey’s stick in our guests’ mind. At least we think so.”
Coasters Stimulate “Word-of-Mouth” Advertising
Coasters can also stimulate word-of-mouth advertising by encouraging patrons to talk about their fine dining experiences.
According to Alan Jordan, of Add-Effect Associates Marketing Services in Wayne, PA, some restaurants use custom coasters to let servers know at-a-glance whether a guest is drinking regular or decaf coffee. “Guests, particularly those in large parties, are flattered when their server remembers whether they were drinking regular or decaf coffee.”
Says Jordan, “People like to share the good times they’ve had, but they need something to stimulate conversation. Imagine you’re being served dessert and coffee in one of your friend’s homes, and between the cup and saucer is a coaster that features an exclusive restaurant. Would you assume your host or hostess had eaten there, and ask them about their evening? Many guests do, and once asked, their hosts often spend ten minutes or more recounting a special event.”
Our own Gregory Krasnick, of Beverage Coasters, Inc., confirms souvenir packages of what he calls “remembrance coasters” are warmly received. In fact, Mr. Krasnick said some restaurants sell souvenir packages of coasters.
To receive coaster samples or further information, please call Greg at (610) 916-4864, or contact us and send a brief note describing your establishment and clientele to Beverage Coasters. We would love to help you enhance your restaurant experience with your own high-quality custom coaster.
FAQs
Why should I use coasters at my restaurant/bar/inn?
Coasters have many passive benefits for your location. Firstly, coasters catch stray drops of drink, condensation, soup, and more. This reduces messes and helps keep your customers comfortable and your location tidy. Secondly, they help reduce noise pollution in your establishment. Dining places can quickly get very loud with people talking, eating, and moving around. Coasters cut down on some noise by muffling the clink a cup or bowl might make when placed down. Finally, a custom coaster adds to the experience of your location. When customers enter and are greeted with coasters under their drinks, it feels more welcoming and makes you look better prepared to feed or host customers.
Can coasters improve business?
Yes, coasters can be a factor in improving your business! Coasters add a considerate touch to the customer experience and could improve their feelings toward your business. It shows customers you care about their experience and go the extra mile for small details. Coasters can also be useful in providing better customer service when it comes to drinks. If you provide different coasters for different drinks, it can allow waitstaff to better identify which customer has which drink.
Are general or customized coasters a better fit?
General coasters with simple greetings on them are a nice touch at any business and make guests, customers, and clients feel more welcomed. Customized coasters with your business logo, sales, or artwork on them have a much stronger effect on the people using them. General coasters with friendly designs will be beneficial for any cafe, diner, or local restaurant, but custom coasters will be more effective and fit in any type of business you could own.
