How do you handle donations and sponsorship requests for your restaurant?

If you've been in the restaurant business for more than a week, you already know that some people are walking in, sending emails or calling to ask for donations or sponsorship, and we can't blame them for that.

They are nonprofit organizations supporting a league team or educational institutions, etc., and they need money for different kinds of stuff. So they come to local businesses to ask for some financial assistance, and it happens all the time.

The way we handle those is very crucial with how we build our brand, we want people to see us as a business that honors people. How to graciously say yes or no, and how can we partner with these organizations to serve them better long term is significant for our business.

In this show, you will give you 6 tips on how you can handle donation and sponsorship requests like a pro:

  1. Set a budget
  2. Have a strategy in place
  3. Make sure your team is aware
  4. Have one point of contact to handle the logistics
  5. Track information
  6. Say"no" graciously
