Why become a Gastro Card Partner Restaurant?
Because it is free and brings extra business though your doors when you need it!
The Gastro Card is totally free of charge to participating restaurants, and in return we will introduce many new diners to your restaurant. Your offer is unique to your restaurant and you set the terms and conditions, therefore the offer can be used to direct diners to your restaurant at your least busy times.
Our Gastro Card members are regular restaurant diners who are passionate about eating out, and they are the ideal way to maximise valuable word of mouth recommendations plus they are more likely to make a return visit.
Gastro Card Partner Restaurants can increase their visibility by having their restaurant seen by 1,000s of people on The Gastro Card website, all of whom regularly dine out; and since it links direct to restaurants’ own websites it increases traffic to those websites and consequently increases business.
There is extensive information about each participating restaurant on our website including:
- Editorial and images
- Up-to-date menus
- Maps
- Extensive restaurant info – parking, disabled access, price range, opening hours, etc.
- Hotlink to restaurant’s own website
- Gastro Card members-only offers
Most participating restaurants can make special Gastro Card members-only offers to further encourage increased business. Typical offers are 2-for-1 main courses; up to 25% off food bill or total bill; and special Gastro Card fixed priced menus. Terms and conditions can be as open or restrictive as you like, you make the decision of what to offer and when.
The Gastro Card is one of the most definitive and extensive online restaurant guides for the West Midlands listing full information, maps, menus and facilities for hundreds of local restaurants thus meeting the need in the market for such a website.
In return we
- distribute a monthly e-newsletter to our members and potential members
- sponsor events promoting the Gastro Card and its restaurants
- produce regular PR which features some of our restaurants
- put news items about restaurants on our website
- post comments about restaurants on Twitter
And because your restaurant and its offering is important to us, you will have a dedicated member of our team contact you on a monthly basis to check that things are going well.
As the Gastro Card grows we have some great plans to enhance our offering to our membership and we will let you know of these initiatives as they come on line.
