How to turn the worst part of a meal, the bill, into a promotional event…
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so you don't miss any of the NEW IDEAS posted twice per day. Thanks for visiting!

Here’s a great way to take the pain out of presenting your restaurants bill…
We all know the feeling, we have a great meal… then when we see the bill we wince… and it takes the whole edge off what could have been the perfect experience.
Well, this restaurant owner has come up with a unique way to turn the bill into a game that you will even want to tell your friends about.
.
He puts the flyer shown above on each table… then when go to pay the bill, you play, a best of 3 round of rock paper scissors. They change the incentive regularly, sometimes it’s a substantial discount, sometimes a prize… It’s a great way of turning the bill into a promotion.
The informality of the interaction with customers alone is worth it
Hi Lindsay,
Great site and great stuff. I’d like to use or paraphrase one of your stories in the future, giving your blog credit of course. This story here is similar to a promotion one of my clients does, only they use three gift certificates, $3 off, $5off or free.
Best wishes,
Joel Cohen
