The busy and quiet times of a cafe's year
- Busiest: the fall drinks launch and the holiday season.
- Quieter: hot summer afternoons. Post iced drinks and a slow-hour deal.
- Every week: post the morning rush and the new bake of the week.

- Friday: Weekend brunch preview
- Saturday: Saturday morning rush
- Sunday: Quiet Sunday corner

Keep the dates above that fit
Cross out any your customers don't care about, and add your own: your anniversary, events, launches and slow weeks.
Work back from each date
Put a first post one to two weeks before, a reminder a few days before and a post on the day.
Make a month of posts at once
Make them in one sitting and schedule them, so a busy week doesn't leave your feed empty.
