Imagine business lunch restaurants where you and your guests have to shout because the restaurant offers live music at noon. Certainly a pleasant or intimate diversion during any other social occasion, but definitely not during a business lunch.
You and your guest need a quiet and comfortable ambiance. The restaurant of your choice must allow for a clear conversation and an easy exchange. You need privacy, you need to hear each other and you need to be protected from neighboring conversations and loud noises. What's more, the lunch restaurant of your choice must "improve your lunch life", must offer enough lunch ideas and lunch menus to meet many of your guest's preferences and requirements as well as yours.
And then there's service. Great customer service means making guests feel welcome and taken care of. Inconsistent service means the server is nowhere to be found. A good server is prompt, friendly and available. Go to restaurants where people love to serve and make sure they are on your list of suitable lunch restaurants, business or otherwise. And don't forget to ask if they accept credit card lunch.
“We have a business lunch where we know the food is good” someone told me recently, to which I add “and where the price is appropriate”. There are such things as good, reasonably priced gastronomic experiences in Montreal. Owners of the best lunch restaurants know how to manage their costs effectively, handle their product quality properly and offer great business lunch ideas and lunch menus.
Location is important and the lunch restaurant of your choice must be as close as possible to your customers' office and as convenient as possible which, in most cases, means parking or transport facilities.
The geographic location and the type of community are important for you, for your guests and for the restaurant owner since lunch restaurants rely on visibility and exposure. Where there are shops there are restaurants and the island of Montreal offers a wide range of shopping areas and commercial streets.
In our highly competitive and saturated restaurant industry, understanding consumer needs and wants is critical for a successful management. Successful restaurant owners usually have a well defined and well researched concept. A concept that often includes safe food, cleanliness, quality of food, speed of service, perceived value of food and drink, quality of service, friendliness of staff, price, variety of menu and close travel distance.
Business lunch, early morning breakfast, mid-afternoon coffee are excellent ways to conduct business and to spend some time in a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable settings. Lunch or dinner, a face-to-face encounter was and still is an important and effective way to build relationships.
During a business lunch, business issues are normally raised any time after the first dish, but they may also come towards the end of the meal or after dessert. At dinner however, business topics are likely to be raised early during the meal. There are fewer time constraints and business dinners tend to evolve into a night out. People like to sit down to dinner at 7pm or at the latest 8pm and the encounter is often followed by a visit to a bar or a show.
