A standing weekly hour for regulars

Give one weekday hour a name and a small perk, and it can become the hour your regulars plan around.

Steps

Pick a quiet weekday hour from your counts.
Name it ("Tuesday table", "Thursday open studio") and give it one thing that only happens then.
Invite your regulars by name, in person.
Keep it going for at least eight weeks before you judge it.

People in that hour, week by week.

Customers who drifted away often just forgot; a friendly note with a reason to return brings some back.

Holiday hours posted two weeks ahead on the door, the listings and the website save customers wasted trips.

Customers who give you their birth month get a small treat offer in that month.
