🐣 Easter Trading 101 — How to take advantage of Easter with online ordering.

Easter is a huge opportunity to boost sales, your customer database.. and look slick doing it 🐰 Bopple’s here to help — like always. All you need to do is prep today, and thank yourself tomorrow.

Good Friday is this Friday (yep, already), and Easter’s hopping in hot.

If you're one of the many venues staying open to take advantage of this busy period, this is your moment to shine — and Bopple’s here to help so your online customer experience... doesn't turn into offline headaches.

Easter growth opportunities

• Easter is busy. New customers, higher foot traffic, bigger average spends.

• You’ve got the chance to wow regulars and convert visitors into loyal fans.

• But with great power (read: public holiday pressure) comes great responsibility...

Let’s keep it simple — an Easter checklist

✅ Update your opening hours
Make sure your trading hours for Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Sunday, Monday are set up correctly in Bopple Back Office.

If you're closed, mark it. If you're open longer, show it. No one likes a customer turning up to a closed cafe — especially when you've taken the money already.

✅ Post it like you mean it
Once you’ve updated your hours, share them on your socials (especially Instagram). It takes 30 seconds, earns you brownie points, and clears up any confusion.

✅ Add your public holiday surcharge
If you’re applying a holiday surcharge (and you should be), double-check it’s live in your Back Office settings—or in your Lightspeed price list if you're integrated. Easter Sunday rush isn’t the time to find out it’s missing.

✅ Display those QR codes proudly
Make sure your QR flyers, cards or posters are visible and ready for scanning. New customer walks in? Boom — they’re ordering and paying on your beautiful Bopple menu before you’ve even said “Hi”.

✅ Sense check your menu
Open your customer-facing menu and think like a first-time visitor:

• Are your hours accurate?

• Is it easy to order and pay?

• Do you have product photos and descriptions?

• Are you making the most of our AI Engine to sell smarter?

The little things add up.

What you’ll avoid

• ❌  Refunds, chargebacks, and disputes (eek)

• ❌  Frustrated customers showing up when you’re closed

• ❌  Lost orders and upsells because your menu wasn’t quite ready
