I think the cream always rises to the top, so once your restaurant is providing decent food and a good service customers will pick up on it quick enough anyway. Three couples a night is 6 x €70 and in reality to alot of restaurants having to seek business like that, there is profit gone. There are better ways. I dunno guys.

So not only will they remember the free meal, but also the nice manager (now their oppoint of contact with the restaurant) who they may never have normally met.

Your right - advertising it would lead to scroungers. But calling in actual prospects would be a better strategy.

I agree that people do bring people into restaurants when they are looking en-spec for a bite to eat. But how could you market this idea? If you advertised it outside your restaurant, you are bound to the same vultures each night. Do you have any insight as to how the whole process would work? Cathal Conaty. Mr.Kelly,
