There Is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch.... At Least for Restaurant Owners

Do you offer specials or events that happen regularly throughout the week? It can be frustrating constantly updating your Facebook page, Instagram, or Yelp profile. Sure, these platforms are useful tools, but what if there were an easier way to get the word out on a platform that’s open for anyone to use? And not just you, but your regular patrons too! That’s what we’re building with Gather Grub. 

The Idea is Simple: We’ve created an easy-to-use platform that shows what’s happening right now, based on your location. Let’s be honest, Facebook might lead the market in social media, but we’ve used it ourselves, and it’s not exactly made for real-time updates. They tend to push big, multi-day campaigns, which don’t really work when someone just wants to grab a bite or social activity right now. whether it be happy hours, taco Tuesday, burger Wednesday, Sunday Funday, Trivia Tuesday, Karaoke Thursday; you name it!

Plus, not everyone uses Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter these days, and running all those accounts can feel like a full-time job on its own. So why not take a few minutes and post your recurring offerings on the Gather Grub Beta App for free? 

It’s designed for simplicity, and best of all, your customers can join in and add what they see. We’ve added about 3,000 independent restaurants in New Hampshire, with almost 300 unique offerings. There’s a good chance your restaurant is on there already! Did we forget to mention we are not doing reviews? We’ve never been a fan, and we all know how toxic they can get; it turns into more of a place for complaints than useful feedback.  Even Google hides some businesses unless they’re “Paying to Play”. 

Even if your restaurant doesn’t have a recurring offer, we still want to feature you on Gather Grub. We link directly to your social media pages (except Yelp — that one’s a no-go for us). It’s all about providing locals and visitors a one-stop place to find what’s happening now without wading through ads or outdated posts. In just a couple of days, our blog post about Portsmouth, NH happy hours pulled in over 200 views! People are actively looking for these kinds of offerings, so why not make it easy for them to find yours? Give the beta app a try! Let’s update your restaurant on the map
