You are invited to participate in Atlanta’s Diner’s Deck.
The Diner’s Deck is a fun, risk-free marketing tool for restaurants that promotes your establishment as one of 52 chef-driven or neighborhood favorites to check out in metro Atlanta.
The Diner’s Deck is a fun and engaging way to create awareness and incentivize diners to visit your establishment. The playful design of the deck makes selecting a restaurant as easy as picking a card, and every card is a $10 gift certificate at that restaurant.
What does it cost to participate?
There is no out-of-pocket expense to you. Instead, you agree to honor the $10 value of your card in the deck, provided the guest’s tab is at least $30 before alcohol, tax, and tip.
Your card will feature:
- Detailed information including highlights, cuisine, address, phone, url, etc.
- A photograph from your restaurant
- A one-time $10 discount off of the food portion of the bill. (See terms below)
In addition to your restaurant being promoted in The Diner’s Deck, your establishment will also receive:
- At least one ad in the Rough Draft newsletter
- Your logo in a print advertisement in Reporter Newspapers and Atlanta Intown
- A special feature in the Side Dish newsletter promoting your restaurant with callouts for popular meals, outdoor seating, cocktails, etc.
Terms and conditions (as printed on every card.)
- The $10 discount is only valid with a total bill of $30 or more before alcohol, tax, and tip.
- Limit one Diner’s Deck discount per party.
- Cannot be combined with any other discounts.
- Dine-in only.
What sort of establishments will my restaurant be featured beside?
We are curating a diverse selection of restaurants across Atlanta, from neighborhood favorites to chef-driven establishments. Our goal is to represent Atlanta's diverse dining culture.
Where have I heard of The Diner's Deck before?
In 2004, we launched The Diner's Deck in New York City, and for the following years until 2018, we released a new deck annually. However, we made the decision to pause our releases when Jeff, one of the creators, relocated to Atlanta. The Diner's Deck is widely recognized. The New York Times described it as "a gift that could be used all year long," while New York Magazine referred to it as "the perfect stocking stuffer." Additionally, the blog Writing with my mouth full aptly stated that "when you can't decide where to eat, you leave the decision-making to the cards."
