1. Create a delightful Eid menu

Tip: To delight your customers, consider adding a free drink/dessert to your Eid menu.

2. Eid Offers & Discounts

Eid promotions, discounts and offers are a good way to drive more sales. Create customized offers or time-limited deals that run only during the Eid holidays. You can easily create these offers for delivery and dine-in to encourage people to order from your restaurant. 

Offer a discount selected items of your menu or for the next time the customer eats or order from your restaurant.
