The 4th Annual Downtown Bozeman Restaurant Week will be held Monday, April 22nd – Sunday, April 28th.

Restaurant Week is able to be tailored to your unique business! From a quick coffee, to a full-service dining experience, to a drink at the bar, to a weekday lunch - Restaurant Week can adjust to YOU!

Restaurant Week can drive both new customers and repeat fans through your doors. You, as the participating establishment, have free-reign to offer a special, promotion, discount, feature, etc as you see fit!

Some examples that businesses have found success with in the past...

  • Create a special consisting of off-menu items as to not compete with your current menu and inventory for regular demand on those items. This is a huge selling point for potential customers as they will be able to try unique specials at their favorite eateries as well as places they have never been before.
  • Feature a local or in-house created ingredient.
  • Offer discounts or price-breaks (e.g. $1 off all draft beers all week; Dinner for 2: customer's choice of app + 2 entrees + dessert for $60; buy 2 coffees get 1 free for a friend!).
  • Develop a pre-fix menu.
  • Plan a unique dining experience where a set number of reservations are available.
