A free specials board for your restaurant.

What shows up at your door

• A 24″ × 36″ aluminum dry-erase board with your name and logo across the top
• A floor stand, and a set of liquid chalk markers
• Delivered and set up by us, in about twenty minutes
• Yours to keep, whatever happens afterward

The top two thirds is your writing space — lunch specials, the band on Saturday, whatever you want people to see while they're deciding. Along the bottom sit six small printed ads from local businesses. That's it. That's the whole arrangement.

So what's the catch?

There isn't one, but here's the honest explanation of how it works, because "free" always deserves one.

The board costs us about $400 to make. We sell the six ad slots along the bottom to local businesses — a plumber, an accountant, an insurance broker — for $600 each per year. They get to sit in front of your customers all year. You get a board you'd otherwise have paid for. We make the difference.

All we ask is that you keep it somewhere your customers can see it for twelve months. That's the entire agreement, and it's one page.

You decide who's on it

We'll ask you first. Most owners point us toward people they already work with and like — their plumber, their accountant, the realtor who's in every Tuesday. You see the full list before anything gets printed, and you can veto anyone, for any reason, no explanation needed.

Have a look at one

Easiest thing is for me to bring a board by and show you. Takes five minutes and there's no pitch — you'll know within about thirty seconds whether you want it.
