There is Such a Thing as Free Lunch
We're starting a new program to say "Thank you" to our Partners in Sustainability and our devoted members.
Everybody wins.
Here is how everyone else does it: They pay pennies on the gallon for a restaurant's used cooking oil.
Here is how we do it: We add value to our restaurants by advertising, marketing, and sending our membership to their tables. We have eaters-that is-customers, and those customers are you.
HERE IS THE TWIST: We are sending YOU to do the thanking and the eating. Each of our members can expect a gift certificate in the mail over the next three months that will let you dine at one of our Partners in Sustainability restaurants.
Don't forget to thank the restaurant for all they do for their community! And let them know that you came to eat running on fuel made from their grease.
Gift certificates will hit the mail this week.
We promise, everyone will receive at least one, but please be patient. We will be choosing members and restaurants by proximity and a few other factors. Remember, the more oil we collect, the more you gift certificates you get. Bon Apetit!
