Transform Restaurant Week into an Immersive Culinary Experience

Why Bandwango is Perfect for Your Restaurant Week

Engagement is left to chance with traditional Restaurant Weeks that depend only on static menus or directory-style listings. Bandwango helps transform this experience by offering a mobile-friendly digital pass that connects diners directly with participating restaurants. Here’s how Bandwango can help enhance your Restaurant Week:

Streamlined Participation & Seamless Check-Ins

Easily manage participating restaurants and showcase their unique offers in one convenient, mobile-friendly pass. Highlight prix fixe menus, exclusive discounts, or special events to attract diners. Diners will then be able to check in at participating restaurants through their digital pass, providing a sense of achievement and encouraging them to explore more locations!

Gamification and Incentives

Add an interactive layer by incentivizing diners with rewards for checking in to multiple restaurants featured on the pass. Prizes like custom merchandise, gift cards, or unique experiences can make the restaurant event even more exciting.

Actionable Insights

Track your diners' engagement with detailed analytics using the Bandwango dashboard. From check-ins to redemptions, Bandwango helps you understand what works best in your community, allowing you to optimize your future events.

How to Launch Your Restaurant Week Pass

So you’re ready to take the next step by putting your Restaurant Week pass into action. With Bandwango, the process is simple and effective, helping you connect diners to participating restaurants while keeping everything organized. Here's how to get started:

1. Choose Your Participating Restaurants

Reach out to restaurants that would benefit from the event and confirm their offers, whether its prix fixe menus, discounts, or exclusive dishes.

2. Build Your Digital Pass

Use Bandwangos Experience Builder to create a mobile-friendly pass where diners can check in, explore participating locations, and unlock rewards for visiting multiple locations. Personalize the pass offerings and exclusive swag. Fully customize the pass with branding by adding a custom logo, header, and event description, ensuring a seamless look and feel. You’ll have the flexibility to shape the pass in a way that fits your event and keeps diners engaged.

3. Promote the Event

Spread the word through email campaigns, social media, local media outlets, and traditional marketing collateral like posters and coasters for  participating restaurants' tables. This will help drive engagement and maximize participation.

4. Support your Restaurants 

It’s super important to ensure that participating businesses understand how the pass works and how to redeem check-ins or incentives, so they can seamlessly integrate it into their operations.

5. Track Performance & Engagement

Use real-time data to see how many diners are checking in, which locations are getting the most traction, and where you can optimize for the future.
