Restaurant owners riding out rough period, still optimistic
The ongoing recession has taken a bite out of local restaurants’ profits, with more and more residents ‘dining in’ their homes. To retaliate, these establishments are adjusting their business plans to reclaim their customers.
Becky’s Restaurant and Lounge owner Rebecca Smith said her difficulty stems deeper than economic hardship.
The problem, she said, is that she had previously leased out the restaurant and has lost customers because of it.
“I don’t think it would be this bad if people know I’m back but a lot of people don’t know that I’m back yet,” she said.
To correct this, Smith has hired a promoter to inform old patrons of her return and possibly attract new customers.
According to Smith, this is just one attempt to increase Becky’s clientele.
Like many other local businesses, Becky’s has resorted to discounting its services in hopes that prospective patrons will be more inclined to spend at the establishment.
