COLUMBUS VEGAN RESTAURANT WEEK


Do you have a vegan or vegan-friendly restaurant or have you been thinking about adding some vegan options to your menu and want to test it out? Get your restaurant in front of thousands of area restaurant-goers looking for meat-free options. Join us September 27-October 3, 2021 for Columbus Vegan Restaurant Week (CVRW).

For 1 week, participating restaurants will offer a special vegan menu (2 or more options please) and/or discounts on current vegan menu items. We've found in other markets that the restaurants with new options for the week (instead of discounted regular menu items) and those with 3 or more vegan week menu items do the best at drawing in customers during restaurant week.

Vegan Restaurant Week is similar to other restaurant weeks such as (614) Restaurant Week, except the special menu items are completely plant-based. This means no meat or meat broths, dairy (milk, cheese, butter), eggs, or honey.

You can still sell your regular menu items during restaurant week, just offer a special vegan menu, preferably different than what you currently offer to entice restaurant-goers to visit for something new!

Vegan Restaurant Week's are a great way to increase awareness of your restaurant, target diners looking for meat-free and healthier options, increase business and dollars, and to make veganism more mainstream.

Since we're still unsure what COVID will be doing by September, we ask that each participating restaurant offer carryout for those who don't want to dine in.

YES, food trucks are welcome!! Just let us know what location you'll be at during CVRW.
