Tips for dining out
on Mother’s Day
Mother's Day is right around the corner, and this
special holiday serves to honor all those women who
devote so much time and effort to their families. While
gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebra-
tion, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a
night out on the town come Mother's Day Not only
does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also
it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend
time together as a family
A vast number of families travel to their favorite
restaurants for Mother's Day meals. Mother's Day is
one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants.
The National Retail Federation says 54.8 percent of
Americans treat their mothers to a special meal out on
Mother's Day Billions of dollars are generated by peo-
ple eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to
be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating
Mom to a meal.
Book early ... very early To guarantee a reserva-
tion at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant,
you will need to make a reservation well in advance of
Mother's Day It's never too early to put your name on
the reservation list. Don't forget Mother's Day is Sun-
day, May 10.
Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you're
bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant.
Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no
one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accord-
ingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having
a snack before you leave. Don't arrive famished, as no
one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky,
which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty
of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as
well as activities to keep them entertained.
Consider dining out a day before or after. Restau-
rants are generally packed on Mother's Day, and as
a result kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed.
What's more, diners might be relegated to a special or
abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting
and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a
better idea to celebrate Mother's Day in advance. Then
have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special
day.
Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a
dinner out, without really having to go out. Many res-
taurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited
to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curb-
side service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or
something more elaborate, she'll have that option.
Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often in-
clude a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger par-
ties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother's
Day The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you
may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service
is exemplary
Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mother's Day
is a chance for the entire family to spend time together,
the main goal is to ensure Mom's comfort and happi-
ness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be
able to relax and enjoy her meal. Infants will need to be
fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted. Have a sitter
watch little ones when adults are dining out, and then
Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns
home for more celebrating.
