Problem


More than ever, restaurants need help

The pandemic has wreaked absolute havoc on the restaurant & food service industry. Restaurants have struggled to retain traffic and generate revenue, been forced to lay off staff, or worse, close permanently due to COVID-19. In 2020 alone, thousands of restaurants closed their doors for the last time leading to millions of jobs lost. Total industry sales fell by the billions. Recovery and rebuilding is the focus in 2021. As dining restrictions are being lifted across the U.S and pent-up demand for restaurants remains strong, now is the time to step in. Restaurant.com is the solution, serving both the interests of restaurants and consumers alike. 

Solution


Connecting restaurants with diners for a powerful recovery and growth for years to come

Restaurant.com helps diners discover new places to eat, enjoy, and socialize. With our traditional traffic-driving certificate program, certificate values range from $5 to $100, never expire, cost a fraction of the face value, and come with an easy exchange policy. As a result, our restaurant partners fill more tables, driving more revenue into their businesses.

As a partner in profit, restaurants succeed and diners enjoy more for their money. As a partner, restaurants receive:

  • Promotion of their restaurant to millions of consumers
  • A custom microsite for desktop and mobile

  • Exposure via our sophisticated search, email, mobile, and social media programs

Product


A pioneer in the restaurant space

Restaurant.com was a pioneer for restaurant deals and has led the category since 1999. We always offer the best deal, every meal.

Now we're expanding, again leading the restaurant industry into the post-pandemic age of growth and innovation.

Taking restaurants into the future is our goal. We will soon launch a new menu of services (get it?) that help restaurants market and operate themselves. We're not only driving traffic to restaurants, but also helping them increase average check and build customer loyalty.

Everything we do comes from the excitement of finding a new favorite restaurant, getting a deal at the best restaurant in town, or powering the restaurant industry into a new age.

Traction


Over $10M in revenue in 2019

Our 7.8M customers have supported the 184K+ local restaurants and retailers on Restaurant.com, filling more than 3.5M tables annually. In 2019 alone, we generated $10.6M in revenue.

Customers


A loyal base of customers and business clients

Restaurant.com has a customer database of 7.8 million, equally split between the core 25-44 and 45-64 age groups. The majority of our customers are women, upper-middle class to affluent with a median income of $87,500. Over 70% of Restaurant.com customers earn an annual income above $50,000. 40% of our customers have children in the household. The majority are married, with 87% living in urban/suburban areas covering all major metropolitan areas.


Business model


Designed to help communities

Our programs are designed to help local communities thrive through a 360-degree approach that benefits diners, restaurants, and small businesses. When our customers use Restaurant.com, they save money while supporting local, independently-owned restaurants. This drives traffic and fills tables, which in turn creates a demand for a fully staffed restaurant. What’s more, 100% of the money spent with the restaurants stays with them where it belongs.

Restaurants on our platform can decide on the level of support, ranging from traffic-driving discounts to marketing support and other services. Restaurant.com helps restaurateurs drive traffic, increase average check size, and build customer loyalty. Everyone benefits from Restaurant.com.

Market


Restaurant industry sales projected to reach $1.2T by 2030

As we emerge from COVID restrictions, restaurants should be the first to see significant activity as compared to other affected industries, such as travel, hospitality, etc. Eating at your local restaurant is an easy way for consumers to return to a sense of normal. And consumers’ pent-up demand for restaurants is high. Nearly half of consumers say they aren’t using restaurants as often as they’d like.

Restaurant.com is primed for continual expansion, with the daily deal industry experiencing steady growth over the five years leading to 2019 and revenue rising at an annualized rate of 12.5% to $6B.

Competition


We're the rising tide that lifts all boats

Our focus on helping the restaurant industry thrive means we have a pro-competitive strategy. We want everyone to succeed.

But of course, we have competition. Diners can find deals in a wide range of places; though none have the organic search power of our URL, Restaurant.com.

As we launch our new menu of services to help restaurants market and operate themselves successfully, we'll be taking on the world of high-priced services providers that cut into restaurant owners' profits. We anticipate strong demand for our reasonably-priced, sensible alternatives for menu consultation, online marketing, reservation management, and many others.

Vision and strategy


Becoming the online destination for "all things restaurant"

Our objective is to leverage our e-commerce expertise with the Restaurant.com technology, platform, familiar website domain name, and customer base to increase our B2B and B2C businesses, as well as to increase revenues through accretive acquisitions. The key elements of our growth strategy are:

  • Increase the number of restaurants in the program
  • Increase the number of product offerings
  • Expand our B2B client base
  • Acquisitions to deepen involvement with restaurants & expand in the entertainment industry

Funding


Supported by Kevin Harrington and acclaimed chef Fabio Viviani
