Restaurant.com Expert Tips

1. Read the fine print. Look for restaurants with a low minimum purchase, without day-of-week restrictions, and without exclusions on what you can order (alcohol, etc).
2. Check Yelp to see if the place is any good. Getting a good deal on bad food isn’t really that good a deal.

3. Each restaurant will have their own set of restrictions. Some of the most common restrictions include:

• Minimum purchase ($35 or $50)
• Not valid Friday or Saturday night
• Alcohol does not count toward minimum purchase
• Not valid toward tax or tip

We all love dining out, whether it is for special occasions such as Mother’s Day (which is coming soon!) and birthdays, or just for some fun and relaxation. Even the most talented and devoted family cook would like to get some rest and enjoy having delicious meals brought to his or her table.

This is why restaurant gift cards are an ideal fundraiser for businesses that are keen to become involved in their local communities. Not only can fundraising supporters save up to 60 percent on their restaurant meals, but participating restaurants also receive free advertising opportunities and create good sales.

More importantly, this is a fundraiser that is easy to organize. All you need to do is to order at least ten $50 gift cards at the price of only $10 each, specify your contact details, and then the cards will be delivered to your door in two to four business days. There is no deadline before which the gift cards have to be sold, and all cards unsold (which are rare) may be returned. Better still, by selling each gift card at the price of $20, your business is making $10 profit.

Finally, be sure to inform your supporters that they can redeem their gift cards at Restaurant.com (http://www.fundraising.restaurant.com/). Whether their favorite meal is vegetarian, seafood, Italian, Mexican or Chinese, there are thousands of participating restaurants proudly displaying their contact details in this website. All one need to do is to enter his or her gift card code numbers online. Then they will be able to search for restaurants using either their zip codes and preferred search radius (such as within one mile from their residences) or regions of their states (such as New York, Long Island & Vicinity, Queens, Jamaica, near the John F. Kennedy International Airport).
