My suggestions to change that would be the following. First: Know your Patrons. Look around. Everyone in the Room was over 60 yet the blaring music was definitely not "their Music". Maybe tone it down a bit and either play Country or something more 50's and 60's. The Rock they were playing didn't go with the Diners. Secondly: Now that the Snowbirds are gone, you need to offer coupons or Specials to get people to come. Almost all of the Restaurants are doing that now. Some are offering 2 for 1 on a special night, or buy one, get the second meal 50% off. Maybe it would help to fill that other half of the Restaurant! They should remember we are the Far North End of the Villages. People in this area are mid Seventies to Eighties. They still enjoy eating out, but are not the Partiers they were when they moved here 20 years ago. They will help make this Restaurant a success, but the Owners might need to make the dining atmosphere a bit more in tune with the Age Group!
Assume you shared your thoughts with management. We cannot make changes………………
