Many of you are very passionate about helping out independently owned restaurants and so is Restaurant.com. In fact, each year Restaurant.com helps fill nearly 5.5 million tables at independently owned restaurants nationwide and has helped them thrive since 1999. To help support this cause Restaurant.com has paired up with Cash Mobs founder Andrew Samtoy, to launch the Dine Local Dish Mobs campaign. This is a national event to encourage restaurant goers to dine at local, independently owned restaurants. The campaign starts on September 24th and goes through October 7th. Restaurant.com is encouraging consumers to patronize independently owned businesses and will be hosting Dish Mobs events in select markets prompting supporters to dine at a chosen local restaurant in their community.
The Cash Mobs concept was started in 2011 by Andrew Samtoy and was set up to help independently owned businesses within a community thrive by sending consumers to each business on a designated date and time. Five restaurants have been chosen in five markets for a Dish Mob event this year:, St. Louis, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Denver. The partnership gives them the ability to extend the reach and rejuvenate local restaurants. Through social media and word-of-mouth, they are hoping the camaraderie can spread to communities in other cities and hopefully host one in your area in future years! If you live in any of these city locations, please think about participating and supporting your local restaurants!
