Give nearby diners a reason to come in.
Postcards.ai helps restaurants promote lunch specials, openings, events, catering, and comeback offers to the people close enough to actually visit.
Tuesday lunch special
Try the bowl everyone keeps asking about.
Bring this card in for $5 off lunch before 2pm.
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.
Audiences
Start with the neighborhood or list you already know.
Mail nearby homes, apartments, offices, or an uploaded customer list. Keep it tight enough that the offer feels local.
Lunch, catering, events, and comeback offers all work better when the audience is close.
Nearby homes
Reach people close enough to become weeknight regulars.
Apartments and offices
Promote lunch, catering, pickup, or weekday specials.
Customer lists
Upload a list for comeback offers or event announcements.
Local moments
Mail openings, patios, menus, catering pushes, and seasonal events.
02 / What gets mailed
A good restaurant postcard makes the choice easy.
It should show what to order, when to use the offer, and why this week is a good week to come in.
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 it later, including address matchback when the sale happens through another path.
