As the season moves from winter into spring and summer, service-based organizations are recruiting members and fundraising for upcoming projects. Restaurants looking for increased brand exposure are supporting their community and their business by providing food, drinks, supplies, and their establishment as a venue for meetings, outreach, and fundraising initiatives. By building organic relationships with local organizations, especially with small and parent-run groups, these restaurants are called upon later to cater and host future events, providing their business greater local awareness to multiple demographics.
Restaurants with family-friendly spaces are ideal venues for hosting youth and young adult scouting troops and recurring in-person meetings, including expositions and award ceremonies. Such services not only promote the business as community-centric, but increase the number of people regularly eating the restaurant’s food and drinks. These businesses are also contacted when community groups are in need of catering or food services for off-site gatherings.
Restaurants that create a lively and vibrant environment attract onlookers and passersby, quickly become the “go-to place” in the community. Additionally, restaurants that support the community naturally result in the community supporting the restaurant.

Restaurants directly support volunteer groups at on- and off-premises locations
Restaurants are also directly aligning with nonprofits, service clubs, and volunteer groups to provide catering, takeout, or delivery of food and drink items at off-site project locations. Example settings include city cleanups, clothing and food drives for relief groups or local shelters, and community gardens run by churches and nonprofits. In this way, restaurants increase their brand exposure while supporting volunteers and their community.
Through these organic relationships, volunteers and other customers are encouraged to patronize the business while attending these events and in the future. Guests keep the restaurant in front of mind when they or friends in their network are planning local gatherings.
When hosting meetings or events in their dining room, QR code-based table stickers and window decals enable guests to quickly order and pay for food and drinks via QR code scan, complete with digital payments from any web-based device.
Restaurants that use Aldelo Express and Masa+ enjoy full-featured online ordering and payment capabilities for in-store and remote operations. Users promote their menus and online ordering solutions by inserting QR code-enabled business/menu cards in to-go order packaging for catering and delivery services.
