Beyond Restaurant Week: 4 Ways To Support Restaurants All Year
Restaurant Week is always fun, but it’s crucial to support our local restaurants all year long.
Here’s 4 ways to help support restaurants in your community all throughout the year so we can continue elevating our incredible lineup of culinary destinations (and the people behind them)!
1 - Grab Takeout
There are so many spots within the City of Lancaster that elevate your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night food plans!
From quick pick-up meals to full dinners on-the-go, getting takeout from restaurants is a great way to support them even if you do not always have time to have a sit-down experience.
2 - Make A Plan To Visit New And Favorite Spots
Sometimes just creating a plan ahead of time is the best way to guarantee you try a new spot or visit one of your favorites!
Look at your calendar and see if there is time to schedule weekly or bi-weekly visits somewhere—whether it’s to dine in, grab takeout, enjoy a drink, meet a friend, or enjoy something you’ve never tried before.
3 - Buy Gift Cards for Holidays, Birthdays, and Workplaces
Give the gift of flavor and experience this holiday season, birthday, or as a gift to your colleagues!
From stocking stuffers to thank-you gifts, grabbing a gift card to a restaurant is a great way to not only support the place but give the gift of a delicious experience to everyone on your list.
4 - Like, Share, and Get Social
One of the easiest ways to support restaurants is to help share their features, menus, specials, and content on social media.
We encourage you to follow their social media channels, like their posts, share their content, direct message your friends & family unique specials and menu updates, and generally engage with social media to help their reach and brand awareness grow.
By being intentional about supporting the local culinary scene we ensure that we’ll continue celebrating a robust group of incredible spots, and the faces behind them, every restaurant week and beyond!
