Labor Day: A Celebration of the American Worker
Show your customers how much you value their contributions by picking a theme they'll love!
This is going to be the last hurrah for many workers and their families this summer, so focusing on an idea that feels more personal is a great way to spark their interest.
The End of Summer...Or the Beginning of Fall?
While Labor Day is not the official start of fall, for many, it still represents the seasonal transition. To mark the occasion - whether that it's one last blowout before the weather cools down or a bash to start off fun fall activities - many of your customers will be participating in outdoor festivals and other events.
Join in the outdoor celebration with beer dispensing and concession equipment from Rapids Wholesale.
Chances are, most of your potential customers are looking to enhance the party with an ice cold brew, something you can add your menu with a portable jockey box! While we have a number of different jockey boxes to choose from, our two most popular are the two-tap cold plate cooler and the two-tap 50' coil cooler. The double tap lets you offer an old standby and a seasonal favorite - Marzan- or Oktoberfest-style - to your customers! Don't forget to check out our flowchart that will walk you through all of the parts you need to start dispensing beer from your jockey box!
To complement your beer offerings, Rapids also recommends some nachos, popcorn, or hot dogs! Concession food not only looks delicious, but it also smells great, which will lure customers to your booth!
Kick Off the College Football Season
Baseball may be known as America's Pastime, but the sheer amount of football fans who flock to the bars during game time is nothing to sneer at.
If you want to target sports lovers this Labor Day, focus on providing cold beers, hot wings, and other fan-favorite football foods.
Speaking of providing beer, the Volition VDD59 direct draw beer dispenser was designed with the perfect pour in mind - cold air is continuously pushed up from the cabinet into the 3" stainless steel columns, which means reduced foaming. This dispenser fits two 1/2 barrel kegs and one slim quarter barrel, which means you can serve more than one beer at a time! Comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty and a five-year compressor warranty.
The Frostar 60 oz. drink pitcher lets you provide customers with a way to easily refill their own glasses while simultaneously eliminating worries about a watered-down beverage. It includes a separate ice compartment - so when the ice melts, it can't affect the taste of your drink!
On the food side of things, Rapids has plastic serving baskets in a variety of sizes and colors that are perfect for all kinds of fried foods!
Mixing Glass Sale!
Don't miss out on a great deal on this 16 oz. heat-treated mixing glasses! They are 50% off for a limited time!
Great Scott! It's Time to go Back to School!
Promote family time before the kids head back to school with some back-to-school specials. Popular options include a special children's menu, letting kids eat free or at a discounted rate with the purchase of an adult meal, or including family-friendly games in your celebration.
Showcase your specials with a durable menu cover with double-stitched edges or a snazzy dry erase board and easel!
We also offer booster seats and high chairs to help ensure your restaurant is welcoming to families with children of all ages!
According to an infographic by WalletHub, more than 40% of the American population had plans to barbecue for Labor Day last year.
Take advantage of this grilling craze by offering to take the work out of the whole process - all they have to do is come to your restaurant, and you'll provide the grilled food!
Volition charbroilers have heavy-duty cast iron cooking racks to withstand the rush of Labor Day weekend. They are also reversible, which means you have the option to provide either thick or thin markings. The 10-gauge stainless steel radiants provide consistent heat distribution so you can be assured of an even cook no matter where you place your meats, and the 4" high backsplash and sidesplash offer protection against grease splatters.
To help you make the perfect burger every time, we recommend a Hell's Handle stainless turner that is heat-resistant up to 450°F and has a dual-textured finish on handle for extra grip/slip resistance.
