Wonderful! The diner dollars are priceless and it's such a great way to build partnerships.
We just started something similar that allows guests to spend $50 a day and at any business in our community and get reimbursed by us. Went over it with a few of business partners and it has a lot of promise. Best of all, we actually want our guests to spend to the limit every day. We're going to be getting the word out to community businesses during the first quarter and set up some simple means where the guest lets the business know they are using the receipt for a discount at our inn and gets a code or signature on their receipt. In the end, the guest gets a discount, the business knows we're sending folks to them, and we build good will and increase our reservations. This is one of the specials we are implementing as we do away with our rate tier system.
