We are getting a new Red Robin in town and they sent out cards to various people in the area to come in for a "free" meal during their training period. It was a great time and the price was right...even though it was a bit slow. We had to call for a reservation to get in.
Everyone got a free meal of their choice. They brought us a free Speckled Lemonade, a free Raspberry Limeade, a free milkshake and a free hot fudge sundae for the kids. If you bought a cocktail or beer all the profits went to a local charity.
I thought is was a great idea and what a nice thing for the company to do especially in this economy. Have you ever heard of anything like this or done anything like this?
