When the pandemic first took hold of Malaysia in March 2020, everything was put to a halt and many businesses were affected, especially the F&B industry. Almost a year later, today, even though restrictions have eased up a little and we’re allowed to get back into our routine like dining out, things are not the same as they were pre Covid-19. 

Some Malaysians may still be uncertain about stepping out, while others are delighted to catch up with their friends and family at cafes and local eateries. To entice more customers, many dining establishments have been handing out discounts and vouchers but that may not be feasible in the long run. So aside from dishing out discounts post-MCO to attract customers, what are other ways to add value to your customers’ experience?  

One way you can be ready to welcome customers back into your outlet is by creating a good atmosphere with crowd-drawing entertainment such as the Live Sports Euro, the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, and the biggest box office hits. From live football matches to Bollywood and Hollywood blockbusters, these are programmes that will bring everyone together with laughter and enjoyment when dining out with family and friends.

To support businesses that are trying to attract more footfall post-MCO, Astro is offering a special price for its Flexi Plan for commercial uses for a limited time only. Here’s what you’ll get when you subscribe to the New Flexi Plan for your F&B establishment.

Switch Up The Mood With One Click

  

Be it mellow tunes in the background or an exciting match on the screen, there’s no easier and more flexible way to change your establishment’s ambience than by using media entertainment. The combination of visual and sound is just perfect for getting everyone at your cafe or restaurant to be in a fun and positive mood. 

After a day’s work or attending college classes, Malaysians are famous for chilling and hanging out with friends with a “yum cha” session at their favourite mamak stall or dining spot — but they’re not there just for the company or food. They go to experience the rush of excitement listening to the cheering and jeering of fans by watching live sports events or the latest movie or drama that brings crowds together. Alternatively, if you’re going for a quiet ambience, you can always change the mood by featuring programmes like international news or documentaries to cater to different crowds. 

It’s this ease of flexibility to switch between channels (and the ambience) that makes Astro Business’ New Flexi Plan a favourite choice among F&B establishments. All the programmes in the New Flexi Plan are 100% legal programmes and feature different genres from exclusive live sports events to favourite local programmes and international news in HD.

If you’re already an Astro Business subscriber, you can upgrade to the New Flexi Plan and enjoy extra perks such as free up to RM1,500 worth of GO SHOP vouchers. By signing up for this plan, Astro Business will be offering you the flexibility to choose a plan and customize your selection of channels from a wide menu consisting of local and international entertainment programmes to suit your business needs.
