DIne Around Card
 
Just curious - if you could purchase a "Dine Around Card" to some of the better restaurants in Barbados that would offer you either a better priced meal than available to the public if you had the card, would you do so? This would be marketed with possibly 3 meals at a choice of gourmet restaurants, for a set price for the card. Another option to market it would be a buy one entree, get one free if you have the card.<BR><BR>I'd really appreciate your thoughts, ideas, or suggestions. It's something we are consider marketing something like that and want to make it very appealing and worthwhile for people.<BR><BR>Lois

Sounds like a great idea if it would save me money and allow me to try some of the better restaurants there. Do you think it might be available soon?

Lois,<BR><BR>My concerns would be (1) I couldn't order off the regular menu (2) the prices would not be that much cheaper to warrant the expense of the card (3) It would limit my dining choices.<BR><BR>You'd have to address these issues upfront in order for me to consider purchase. That said, I'm the type of traveller who dislikes package deals, all-inclusives, etc. Other individuals may not be so "suspicious".

I would definitely be interested in a buy one get one free card. We have coupon books like that here where I live and they're great. They give you the opportunity to try new restaurants that you might not otherwise try for fear of wasting a lot of money on not so great food. If the card just offered a better priced meal it may not be so appealing. It would depend on the choice of places, price, discount, etc.

I think it's a great idea. Possibly something that I could choose 1 starer, 1 main course and 1 dessert from the regular menu but with my card it will be way less in cost would be great. Like getting a family meal at a Chinese Restaurant for a certain price. <BR><BR>Would it work like that?
