If you operate a drive-thru restaurant, it's important to consider all of the different ways that you can convey relevant information to your customers. One method is with vinyl banners, which you can order from a custom sign company with the wording and images that you want. Around your establishment, there are plenty of places that you can display these banners — between a light post and a fence, for example. Here are three custom vinyl banners that you should consider ordering to hang around your drive-thru restaurant.

Hours Of Operation

Drive-thru restaurants' hours of operation can differ significantly from restaurant to restaurant. Some establishments serve breakfast, which means that they might open at 6 a.m. or even earlier. Those that focus on lunch and dinner open later in the morning, while some drive-thru restaurants are open 24 hours a day. Customers aren't always aware of a drive-thru's hours, so it's a good idea to use a vinyl banner that shares this information. You can hang it outside of your establishment in a place of prominence — ideally, where motorists who are traveling in multiple directions will be able to see it.

Current Specials

A lot of drive-thru restaurants have regular menu specials. For example, you might have a few promotional items each month. These items are important to highlight, and while you might do so with various types of signs inside of your eatery, vinyl banners that are share this information outside can also be a good idea. A seasonal promotion can catch peoples' attention and help them decide to visit your establishment, especially if your vinyl banner design creates a feeling of urgency. For example, you may want to list when a certain promotion ends. This will compel people who haven't experienced the promotion to visit before the listed date.

COVID Safety Measures

Many people are choosing to visit drive-thru restaurants more than dine-in establishments during the COVID-19 pandemic, so you may want to do what you can to draw people to your restaurant. One way of increasing your business is to design a vinyl banner that shares what measures you've implemented to keep your customers safe. This list could include having your drive-thru workers wear masks and gloves, encourage touch-free payments, and more. If someone is hungry but feeling tentative about where to eat, he or she might see this banner and feel that your drive-thru restaurant would be a safe choice.
