This Chain is Offering Date-Night Table Service for Valentine's Day
Katherine Pendrill — February 11, 2016 — Marketing
According to recent reports, a KFC restaurant in the UK is offering date-night table service this Valentine's Day. As many people know, getting reservations at a high-end restaurant is a near impossible task on Valentine's Day. For those who are looking for something more low-key, this fast food promotion could be the perfect option.
Instead of simply offering discount coupons or heart-shaped foods, KFC is celebrating Valentine's Day in a much bigger way. The romantic KFC set-up will include flowers, linen napkins and even a silver candelabra. Diners will be treated to table service and the assistance of a soft drink sommelier who will help them choose the perfect soda for their chosen meal.
While it may seem unusual, the concept of date-night table service is one that several fast food restaurants have experimented with, including Waffle House, White Castle and McDonald's.
