Daily specials are excellent...make them worth the money and value price......good food, clean place, good servers, fast food service, friendly staff.  Make people feel welcome and wanted.......Thank them for patronage.

Off a frequent diner card and after so many meals, they get free appetizer or meal.....or dessert......

Cup of soup with lunch meal is excellent.....free drink refills..

Be sure to offer dinner and lunch specials......Review your menu often and specials. remove what doesn't sell and replace, but be sure to let regulars know you can special make for them...........Also keep menu updated and fresh.....Stay away from standard desserts, go different, homemade, fresh everyday......

Coffee, be sure it has smooth taste not burnt taste.....Offer healthy choices, green teas, no sugar ice tea, plus standard drinks......Be different.....dont' make menu too full or diverse.....Put out cards and ask for menu reviews, and then have patrons drop in barrel, pick one a week for free lunch or dinner.......Put fish bowl out and have  people put business cards in draw once a week for free lunch...

Welcome take-out (pickup orders) and even consider delivery...many people would be thrilled.....and be sure to make employees convey take out orders, specialty orders, etc are no problem.....
