Monday - Wednesday is the New Saturday
Capacity will be full during the weekends, so why not go out when you have a better chance at getting a table? "Monday - Wednesday is the New Saturday." There are significant benefits for your guests to get out on these days, along with great benefits of supporting their local restaurants. Thus, we launch the campaign “Monday - Wednesday is the New Saturday” Campaign .  
.
The following messaging may be used to promote successful ways to gain more business not just on weekends, but everyday:

  • Now’s your chance to dine at the restaurant you could never get a table at. “Get a seat Monday - Wednesday...it’s the new Saturday”

  • If you’re working from home and not fighting the traffic on the Mass Pike getting you home at 8pm, take advantage, get out of the house and grab diner at 6:30pm at your favorite restaurant “Monday - Wednesday, it’s the new Saturday”

  • Tired of eating at home, hit your favorite restaurant when you know you will get a table “Monday - Wednesday is the new Saturday”

  • Tired of take out, hit your favorite restaurants when you know you will get a table “Monday - Wednesday is the new Saturday”

  • The weather is perfect now to grab a great lunch at your local restaurant "Monday - Wednesday"
