Getting the Most for Your Restaurant Dollar

Eating out is one thing families tend to cut from their budgets in difficult economic times. This is unfortunate because dining in restaurants is a tried and traditional way that people get to know each other, couples reconnect and families bond. My name is Lisa, and I would like to teach you how you can continue eating out even if you are stretching your dollars. It only takes a bit of research, a willingness to take advantage of advertised deals and the foresight to make a plan before you ever leave for the restaurant. If you follow a few simple rules, you can eat out for litle more than you'd spend cooking at home.

Spouse An Italian Food Lover? Tips For Planning A Dinner Party For Them At An Italian Restaurant

If your spouse loves Italian food and you are planning to have a dinner party for them, a local Italian restaurant is a good choice for you.  Your spouse will be very happy, and all of the guests will have a great time. If you decide to do this, follow the tips below when you are booking your reservation at the restaurant so things will go smoothly for you.

Choose A Restaurant that Has a Banquet

If you are planning to invite a large amount of people to the dinner party, you should consider choosing an Italian restaurant that offers banquet services.  If there is a large party, it will take much more time for the servers to take orders from each table, and then the chef has to fix their meals individually. A banquet will give your guests a variety of foods to choose from that have already been prepared and laid out for your guests.

Think About the Nutritional Needs of Your Guests

Consider the nutritional needs of the food as there may be some guests that have to watch what they eat due to allergies to food. For example, you may have people there that are allergic to seafood and others that have to eat a gluten free diet. There also may be diabetics at the dinner party.

When you send out the invitations, include a note in each one asking anyone that has any nutritional needs to let you know by texting you, calling you, or sending you an email.

Once you find out the food people are allergic to or simply cannot eat, let the Italian restaurant know. They may be able to create a special menu for these people.

Think About the Atmosphere in the Restaurant

The atmosphere is very important for your dinner party.  To create a good atmosphere, ask the restaurant owner if you can have your dinner party in a private area of their restaurant. See if they can lower the lights a little, and put some candles or a small lamp on each table. Put a vase of beautiful flowers on the tables. Ask the restaurant to play soft music in the background.

It can be stressful setting up a large dinner party, but if you follow the above tips, things should go a little easier for you. If you need more help, talk with the restaurant owner to see if they can offer you any tips
