Hello Houstonians...I have loved living, working and dining here since 1975. I owned restaurants here and in Austin. For the past 12 years I have been providing concept development, operations, and growth related consulting services to restaurants, bars, hotels, theatres, airports, stadiums, and convention centers. We travel where the clients take us but love working right here at home best! Since the restaurants are so good here, and we all live or work here...shouldn't we pick a place and meet for lunch?

I came across an interesting marketing idea the other day on UTube. A marketer suggested using lotto tickets in a campaign to entice patrons into restaurants. For those states that have scratch-off lotto cards, here is a great idea.

With lotto scratch-off cards being given as Christmas presents, advertise that your restaurant will redeem those winning and non-winning lotto cards for everyone. Just present the winning card at check out for a discount on that meal or if a non-winner, present that card for a complimentary non-alcoholic drink for one person or if several at a table and each have a non-wining card, then one non-alcoholic drink for each, or a give them an appetizer of your selection.

This is a way to put fannies in the seats, have some fun and reward non-winning tickets. You should gather a great deal of free publicity with this one, especially if you send a press release to all newspapers, tv and radio outlets in your city. You may surprised at the positive results.

All the best and Happy Holidays to all!
