FOR RESTAURANTS

Fill your tables with new customers during off-peak hours.

EthnoEats connects students with ethnic restaurants they haven't been to before, offering students $3 off $15 plus 3 times a week at participating restaurants during their non-peak hours.
$3 OFF $15 PLUS, 3 TIMES A WEEK
ONE SIMPLE DEAL
$3 off $15 plus
Every restaurant offers the same deal: $3 off a purchase of $15 plus. You choose the hours it's active. Students redeem with a QR code that is only valid during the window your restaurant is assigned to them (Sun–Mon, Tue–Thu or Fri–Sat).
We don't take commission from you. We give it to you.

How it works

1
We feature you
Your restaurant is assigned to students for a Sun–Mon, Tue–Thu or Fri–Sat window on their EthnoEats calendar, with a short description of your food and the hours your deal is active.
2
We market you
We introduce your restaurant to new students from diverse backgrounds who haven't tried you before, through their personal weekly schedule.
3
Students claim, you serve
During their window, students open a QR code that only works for that window. Scan it with your phone camera on the EthnoEats restaurant page (no app or hardware to buy), and take the discount off at checkout.
