Dear Restaurateurs & Hoteliers,

Do you want your restaurant to receive recognition in one of the largest restaurant events in Northern Virginia? Register your restaurant for Northern Virginia Restaurant Week 2016 (NOVA Restaurant Week) on February 16, 2016 and your restaurant will receive recognition on our social media and Restaurant Week website. Restaurants will also be giving logo recognition in our online TV promo and in printed posters. WUSA 9 is also featuring Northern Virginia Restaurant Week in a daily segment from March 7-11! Turn in your commitment sheet no later than the close of business on February 16, 2016!  Do not miss out on this opportunity to receive media exposure! 
What is Northern Virginia Restaurant Week?

The 2016 Northern Virginia Restaurant Week is produced by the Greater  Reston, Loudoun, Arlington and Prince William Chambers of Commerce. Mark your calendars! This year's restaurant week will be held from March 7-14, 2016.  This event is designed to drive new customers to your restaurant and boost your business all year long. Take advantage of this ideal opportunity to showcase your cuisine to thousands of people within your community. Join with other area restaurants to co-market your menu, gain exposure through extensive media promotion and attract new patrons in the door to try your food.
Here are some important details about Northern Virginia Restaurant Week:
  • Participant fee for current Chamber members is $250 and $400 for future members.
  • We encourage you provide a lunch and dinner option, and each should consist of a special menu with three courses-a choice of starters, entrĂ©e and dessert-if possible. Please feel free to adapt the menu based on your particular restaurant concept. We suggest showcasing your food by offering a wide array of choices.
  • You set the price of the menus, but they need to end in .16 (i.e., $16.16; $20.16, etc.).
  • If you are a restaurant or shop that does not have menus with courses, you are still eligible to participate. We suggest offering special prices on your food (salads, cupcakes, ice cream, etc.).
  • We would like to encourage "hotel restaurants" to participate also by offering special rates throughout Restaurant Week.
  • Restaurant Week will be advertised through an extensive marketing campaign by the three Chambers, which includes a custom menu design template for businesses who need it, website promotion, press releases and email exposure, in-store window posters, social media promotions and listings in area event calendars.
  To register, please complete the  commitment form and email it back to the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact LJ Wilson, Communications Manager, at ljw@RestonChamber.org or 703.707.9045. You can also visit us online at www.RestonChamber.org
Thank you for your consideration.
