What is an LTO and how does it work?

⏳What is an LTO?

A Limited Time Offer (LTO) is a short-term, themed collection of meals designed to spotlight your dishes during key moments—like holidays, seasonal events, or special collaborations.

Examples include:

• Holiday menus (Thanksgiving, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, Mother's Day)

• Special brand or influencer collaborations

• Limited product launches or exclusive bundles

👉 Think of an LTO as a way to showcase creativity, build buzz, and connect with customers around moments they already care about.

🎯 Why do LTOs matter for you as a chef?

When you participate in an LTO, you benefit from:

• Increased visibility: CookUnity promotes LTOs with banners, push notifications, emails, and social media.
• Customer excitement: Customers look forward to seasonal menus and are more willing to try new dishes.
• Sales growth: LTOs often drive higher order values during the campaign window.

Testing new ideas: You can experiment with creative recipes and see how customers respond before adding them to your core menu.
