I've been a restaurant owner for decades. It will be interesting to see if this works. Has it ever?
The reason I ask is because, at my places, we occasionally give free food to organizations in our neighborhood because they are in our neighborhood with the attendees also from my neighborhood and it's similar to advertising. They see our napkins and included flyers or coupons and, hopefully, we'll make some of them a regular customer. At these events, however, wouldn't most of the attendees not be from our neighborhood?
Most pizza joints are franchise or personally owned. That means this would be an out of pocket expense for the owner. You may find someone to do this once but I don't see how he would benefit once he finds out no one from his neighborhood is coming in.
This is just my initial reaction to seeing this.
- greglindahl 8y agoThe intent is for recruiters/vendors who want to market to the people at the event to pay the pizza place. But I totally agree that that's not very visible on the website right now.
- sureaboutthis 8y agoThen that's even stranger. Why can't they just contact the event organizers and offer to do that? Then call a local pizza place and place the order.
- ricardobeat 8y agoCompanies don't usually go hunting for random events to deliver pizza to. Event organizers will run around to find sponsors (cash or otherwise), this site serves as a quick middleman for one specific kind of sponsorship.
- sureaboutthis 8y agoBut companies would go hunting this web site for random events to deliver pizza to? Again, why does someone need a middle man for this?
- saluki 8y agoy, cool idea. When we have an event we are organizing we contact potential sponsors and they give us a check ahead of time or bring a check as they usually want to give a pitch at the event and we use it to purchase drinks, pay for the pizza or other food, plates, etc and sometimes give-a-ways. This could be easier, but usually we purchase more than just food with the sponsor's money and usually the sponsor is attending the event.
- thecatspaw 8y agoIsnt this how this website works? It connects event organizators and sponsors, with an easy way for organizators to ask for sponsorship, and a nice list of places to sponsor if you're feeling generous
- pj_mukh 8y agoMaybe a better ("local") geo-filter would solve that problem? Find local meetups to fund.
