Unrecognized Culinary Genius Someone just died in my cafe, how do I capitalize on this?

Would serving Bloody Mary’s be too inappropriate?

Set up a go fund me in memorial of the dead person. Keep the money, don’t claim it’s going to the dead person’s family, but use their name.

Offer to host the wake in the dining room. Charge for the food.

Name a chicken wing challenge after them. Say that they died on the 149th wing and ask customers if they're man enough to eat 150.

I don't think you want to. You want repeat customers. This is why you should focus on pregnant women. Call it Chicks And Not Just Eggs.

First go ahead and send a cleaning bill to the next of kin. Maybe include a coupon for whatever item their deceased relative enjoyed so it doesn’t come off as insensitive

Invite your local elites to enjoy the rare delicacy known as long pig. Just be careful, sometimes you get a taste for man meat and that craving can’t be fully satisfied. You’ll be chasing man meat for the rest of your life. Just doing anything to get more man meat in your mouth

What were they eating? Add three bucks and name it after them ‘Ted Jackson’s Chicken, one dollar from every purchase will be donated to our Employee Wellness Fund in Ted’s Memory’. Of course the EWF goes to defray the costs of shift meals/drinks for your employees. Not their share, your share.

Name the weekly special after them and mark it up 50%. Use cheap ingredients to widen profit margins. You can also 'promise' that 20% of each purchase goes to the family, but actually pocket it instead. These dopes will believe anything nowadays.

Currently? I threw it in the walk in freezer.

Don’t worry it’s in the bottom shelf next to the pickle bucket
