With the Patriots and the Giants set to face off on Sunday, February 5th, restaurants around the country are gearing up to capture their share of the business… what are you doing to attract customers on this big day?

A look at restaurants around Orange County shows a wide range of promotions in the works…

Tons of Televisions! Obviously the first thing to do in order to get customers in for the game is to show it… Whether you have 1 big screen or 300 of them, make it easy for customers to cheer on their favorite team (or commercial).

Give-aways are also hot; big prizes like televisions (maybe like that awesome one you just bought to show the game on!) or smaller hourly drawings will keep customers entertained during the game…why not raffle off some gift cards so customers come back?

Food and Drink specials; from all-you-can-eat buffets to free shots for touchdowns, restaurants are pulling out all the stops. Kitchens will be turning out casual football favorites like chili, wings, nachos and hot dogs, or more elegant fare. Whether you give it away or offer it at special price, keep the food coming!

Of course we want to be sure you’re serving plenty of seafood during the game! Shrimp cocktail, smoked fish dips and spreads, fried calamari, oysters on the half-shell, stuffed clams… and don’t forget big bowls of New England Clam Chowder for those Patriot fans!
