01 / Campaigns
Four sends that make sense for restaurants.
The best restaurant cards are concrete: good food, clear timing, and one easy reason to visit.
Slow lunch
Give nearby people a reason to come in this week
A simple lunch card can move someone from meaning to try you to actually walking over.
Example: weekday lunch offer for apartments and offices close enough to walk or drive.
First order
Make the first visit easy
Show the food clearly, tell people what to order, and make the next step obvious.
Example: first bowl, first slice, or first entree offer for homes nearby.
Opening or event
Make the announcement feel local
New patio, seasonal menu, chef pop-up, live music, catering push, or grand opening. If it is worth leaving the house for, it is worth mailing nearby.
Example: grand opening card to 1,000 homes within a tight radius.
Regulars
Bring people back without another inbox blast
Use a customer list you already have to reach people who liked you once and have not been in lately.
Example: comeback offer to past guests before a new menu drops.

Sample creative, shown for illustration
What the card needs
Food that looks like something a nearby person would actually want tonight.
A simple offer with a real use window. Lunch before 2pm beats vague excitement.
One next step: scan the menu, book, order, or bring the card in.
A way to measure the response later.
04 / Signature strategy
Fill the daypart that actually needs help.
Slow-day playbook
Start with the gap in the week, then build the audience and offer around that one moment. The card should make sense before someone reaches the bottom.
01
Gap
Pick the daypart that needs help
Start with a real opening in the week: Tuesday lunch, an early dinner, a catering push, or the first month after opening.
02
Audience
Keep the send close
Choose the nearby homes, apartments, or offices that can realistically turn the card into a visit this week.
03
Offer
Make it usable right away
Show the food, name the daypart, and use one offer with a clear window, such as $5 off lunch before 2pm.
Best first send
500 to 1,000 nearby homes or apartments with one offer for a specific daypart.
What to do next
Reuse the audience for the next menu, event, or catering push.
