Drive Traffic with Solo Diners

Oct 1

While you're thinking about fall flavor specials, there's a big opportunity in front of you: solo diners are driving big traffic!

Here’s What Trends Show:

Personal-sized portions are commanding premium pricing and driving traffic
Solo diners spend more per visit when they have menu options designed specifically for them

The Business Impact

✅ Higher check averages – solo diners pay premium for right-sized portions
✅ Faster table turns – solo diners dine and leave quicker
✅ Less food waste – no more half-eaten family portions
✅ Set Yourself Apart – most operators still ignore this segment

Bottom line: You could be capturing the fastest-growing dining segment with menu items that photograph beautifully, command higher margins, and keep solo diners coming back all season long. See below for ideas!

Your Fall Solo Strategy - Instead of large shareable appetizers, try this:
