'I dont think we have a week go by without someone dropping in and asking if we'd donate a meal for 2' Assuming the variable cost of such meals to you is about a tenner because all your staff and premises costs would not be increased by the provision of a meal that would mean saying yes every week to such requests would cost you £500 over a year. You'd need to reduce this cost by the profit you would make on any drinks bought and if the people who got the donation brought friends you would also make additional profit. In addition I've won meal vouchers in various charity raffles and not taken them up so, all in all, you would probably be talking about a net cost of a couple of hundred quid. In return for that you would get incredibly well targetted publicity and a huge store of goodwill. I walked past your place a week or so ago and it was not busy. You clearly need to do something on the marketing side and I think you have just passed up a very good opportunity.
