We Build It
We create the Community Board around your restaurant and the space available at your location.
We Install It
You Use It
Tell us a little about your restaurant, your location and where you would place the board.
We handle the setup and installation so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
Use your board for specials, promotions, events and announcements. We handle the local advertising portion.
You're In Control
This is your restaurant and your board. We handle the advertising, but you have a say in what appears in your space.
You don't have to sell advertisements, contact businesses, collect payments or manage the advertising. That's our job.
Choose where the board is placed.
Tell us which local businesses you'd love to see featured.
Tell us which businesses or industries you do not want featured.
We'll never place a direct competitor on your board without your approval.

We’re Looking for a Few Great Local Hosts
We’re currently looking for established local restaurants where a Community Board would genuinely benefit both the restaurant and the local businesses featured on it.
Consistent customer traffic
A visible location near the entrance, host stand, counter or waiting area
A restaurant that values its local community
A desire to promote specials, events and announcements
A willingness to keep the board visible for 12 months
We select host locations based on visibility, customer traffic, location and overall fit for the program.
Why Is the Board Free?
Local businesses sponsor the advertising portion of the Community Board. Their sponsorship helps cover the cost of producing and installing the board, allowing us to provide it to selected local restaurants at no charge.
The restaurant gets a useful board. Local businesses get a place to be seen. The community benefits from stronger connections between local businesses.
What We Ask From You
We keep the commitment simple.
A Visible Location
Provide a visible location inside your restaurant where customers can easily see the board.
A 12-Month Partnership
At the end of the 12-month period, we'll check in with you about continuing the program. There is no automatic renewal.
Reasonable Care
Treat the board like any other piece of equipment or signage in your restaurant.
That’s It.
You use the board for your restaurant. We handle the advertising side.
Ready to Bring a Community Board to Your Restaurant?
