Restaurant.com Delivers Plates of Thanks to Celebrate 20,000 Restaurant Milestone
Company Gives Back to Restaurants and Patrons during National Small Business Week
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Restaurant.com, the nation's largest dining deals site, is celebrating reaching a 20,000 restaurant partner milestone with the "Plates of Thanks" campaign. Kicking off during National Small Business Week (May 4-8, 2015,) the company has created the generous initiative to give back to the small businesses at the heart of communities: independently owned restaurants.
"Restaurant.com understands the importance of independently-owned restaurants in communities nationwide. We've helped them thrive since 1999," said Dr. Kenneth C. Chessick, Restaurant.com Chairman and CEO. "We are excited to continue our efforts to help these establishments succeed. Restaurant.com is proud to show our gratitude to restaurants, diners and businesses across the nation."
PLATES OF THANKS GIVEAWAY
This June, in honor of reaching 20,000 restaurant partners, Restaurant.com will offer the Plates of Thanks Giveaway by delivering gifts of gratitude to 20 select, locally-owned restaurants across the nation. The company will work with the restaurants to identify needs and provide solutions for establishments, ranging from new cookware and linens to landscaping updates. Of the 20 selected restaurants, Restaurant.com will deliver the gifts live on-site at five restaurants in the following markets: Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Las Vegas, NV; Philadelphia, PA; and Tampa, FL.
NOMINATE A RESTAURANT
Restaurant.com will take nominations for the Plates of Thanks Giveaway from May 4-15, 2015 at partners.restaurant.com/giveaway.aspx. Dining patrons, employees or even restaurants themselves can share stories, business needs and requests for gifts of gratitude through the nomination. Restaurant.com will base selections on need, passion and commitment to community. Selected restaurants will be announced on or around May 20, 2015.
PLATES OF THANKS SWEEPSTAKES
Restaurant.com is thanking restaurant patrons, as well. Beginning in June, hungry diners are encouraged to enter the Plates of Thanks Sweepstakes at www.restaurant.com/sweepstakes.
