I learned that asking, "Would you like something to drink with that?" when taking an order, has upped my drink sales.

My son said I was saying it wrong and he was right.

He says take one decision away from the customer. Don't ask 'IF' they want a drink, ask "What would you like to drink with that?" like everyone automatically orders a drink and which kind do you want.

It has upped my drink sales again.

Happy about that. =^)

If you're not doing it now, give it a try, and see what happens to your drink sales.

Our season has started out with a Bang and we're very happy about that too.

Weeeeee....

Your son's a sharp cookie !!

"Would you like something to drink with that?"

The answer for this is: "Yes" .......or "No"

"What would you like to drink with that?"

Is a foregone conclusion.....

This language is basic hypnosis & it has to work, as you're bypassing the concious decision making process....

It's used in all kinds of advertizing all the time.
