As the voice of the restaurant industry, the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association is dedicated to promoting our world-class culinary and beverage community right here in South Carolina. Established in 2010 by the SCRLA, Restaurant Week South Carolina is an 11-day celebration of our state’s vibrant culinary scene. Restaurant Week gives local, regional, and national food lovers the opportunity to enjoy amazing values during brunch, lunch and/or dinner at a number of participating restaurants. Restaurant Week’s goal is to position South Carolina as one of the top culinary destinations in the nation by increasing awareness of the many dining opportunities available in the state, as well as stimulating business and revenue for restaurants. From fine to casual dining, participating restaurants will may feature new menu items, offer fan favorites, and/or develop your own multi-course menu during Restaurant Week South Carolina. Get involved in our summer, fall and winter campaigns! This is the perfect time to find new customers, generate repeat business, and grow the bottom line. Our Restaurant Week campaigns are a powerful business tool that offers full “brand-to-hand” marketing stewardship year-round and to ensure ongoing success, we continually develop new promotional programs and encourage the spirit of innovation. Restaurants aren’t the only business to benefit from Restaurant Week. It helps increase tourism, therefore increasing revenues for hotels, stores and other local businesses. We use the Restaurant Week campaign as a platform to showcase our state’s restaurant diversity, while helping build its culinary reputation. Marketing efforts target consumers interested in food, beverages and travel. Sign up today at SCRLA.org/restaurantweeksc.
