EAT CARIBBEAN 2022 Guidelines

Here are some tips to help you have a successful Eat Caribbean New York Caribbean Restaurant Week 2022 experience. Suggestions for menu format, updating your staff and using this opportunity to promote your restaurant.

EAT CARIBBEAN Recommendation

  • Always present the Eat Caribbean Week menu with your standard menu or have it visible as a table tent or in a prominent position in your menu folder.
  • For dine-in restaurants, consider providing three options for each of three courses, i.e. three appetizers, three entrees and three desserts.
  • Take-out restaurants should provide an Eat Caribbean menu of specials.
  • If Beverage, tax and gratuities are not included in the price, it should be noted on the menu.
  • Your menu will leave an impression on guests, including first time patrons. Menu items should be representative of your restaurant in portion size and quality.
  • Consider including a vegetarian option for wider appeal.
  • Offer a special, fixed-price, three-course dinner or lunch menu. If you are a take-out restaurant, special offers should be posted next to the menu.
  • Provide phonetic pronunciation for unfamiliar dishes e.g. for callaloo (KAL-A-LOO)
  • Provide descriptions of the dish, ingredients, and cooking method to interest patrons.

Inform Staff

  • Ensure your entire staff is familiar with the facts about Eat Caribbean – the duration of the event, the menu prices and the types of dishes on offer.
  • Staff should be familiar with the specials, and know if they apply to lunch, dinner or both.
  • Explain ingredients, cooking methods of the special dishes to staff. Have them taste the special Eat Caribbean dishes to enable them to relay this information to patrons.

Reservations

  • Expect an unusually high volume of calls for reservations during Eat Caribbean week. Be prepared with days and hours of participation (June 19th-25th), and pricing.
  • Avoid confusion and disappointment, ensure all reservations are informed of any menu exclusion in effect during Eat Caribbean week.

Promoting EAT CARIBBEAN 2022 To Your Clientele

  • Email your Eat Caribbean menu to eatcaribbean@wiadcacarnival.org by June 1, 2022 for promotion on our website and social media. Include the name of your restaurant in the subject line of the email.
  • Put up Eat Caribbean posters. Use your mailing lists to inform your patrons of your participation in CRWNY.
  • “Like” Eat Caribbean & Wiadca on facebook and instagram. This helps us promote your restaurant.
