This means more business for restaurants. The Pokémon go designs make popular or busy spots as pokéstop and Pokémon gyms. If your restaurant has become a Pokéstop or Pokégym expect a surge in sales if not you can use these 5 methods to use Pokémon Go to your benefit.
1. USE THE NEARBY POKESTOP
If you have a pokéstop near your restaurant and you have free wifi people will flood to your place so that they can use your wifi as however the fun the game would be it eats up your data A LOT !!!! Free wifi is one thing which will attract the players to stop at your eatery for a quick drink. Make sure you are providing a good wifi connection.
2. DROP LURES ALL DAY
Another advantage of having a pokestop is that you can buy a lure module which costs approximately $1 as an in-app purchase, which increases the rate at which appear in your area and the players in your restaurant. In India, a pack of 1200 Pokémon coins costs INR 620, and a pack of 8 lures costs 680 coins. Each lure lasts for half an hour, so the pack will last for 4 hours. In 4 hours a restaurant can earn a lot by luring more and more customers. And if you are lucky enough to have a rare Pokémon appear in your neighborhood expect some serious business.
