Marketing template
Festive tasting menu
Meta category: Marketing
Marketing templates promote, recommend, or try to bring someone back. Meta bills them as marketing messages. The person needs a valid opt-in, and the copy cannot be dressed up as a shipping or payment update.
A tasting menu for a festival is a promotion. The end date sits in a variable so the template is not stuck saying Diwali in March.

Quick reply
When to use it
Send it to guests who opted into offers, while the menu is still bookable. {{2}} is the festival, so the same approved template can carry Diwali, Eid, or Christmas without a new review, as long as the page matches. Do not send a Diwali sample in a week the page shows Eid.
The price is per person and the body says so. If the menu is only for the full table, change that phrase before you submit. A couple who arrive expecting two plates at that price, and are told the minimum is four, will not blame the host stand. They will blame the message.
Tips for getting it approved
- Festival, outlet, and per-person price in the samples, matching the page.
- Do not promise a specific dish list in the body. Menus change, and the page can list them.
- The decline reply should stop festive restaurant promotions, not their reservation reminders.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the last night not in the body?
Festival dates move with the lunar calendar, and a restaurant may extend a weekend. The page holds the last night. The chat tells them the menu exists and that they need a booking.
Can a booked guest get this as well as their confirmation?
Only as a separate marketing send, and only with opt-in. Do not append the tasting menu to the table-booked template.
