Let's Support Our Local Restaurants!
On April 15th, 2020, Canada Takeout (CTO) introduced the first National Takeout Day in support of Canada's restaurant industry and Canadians set a record for most takeout ordered. We are looking to break that record this year in support of the restaurant industry. Locally, we will be looking to help promote any specials you have for that day so please send them to us as soon as possible. Going forward we would like to keep the momentum of the day going by helping promote individual local eateries throughout the week similar to what we did last year to help support our local restaurants. When you submit your special for next Thursday, please also let us know if you would like to be part of our Lunch is Served weekday promotion going forward.
You can find marketing materials and more information on National Takeout Day at the below link:
