This is awesome, how did you get the word out and market/advertise?


We’ve never paid for marketing or advertising.

- We are lucky to have a passionate community who tell others about us.

- Sometimes we do shared reels with the restaurant, which helps drive some of their traffic to our social pages and website.

- There’s a few large local Facebook food groups which have driven membership.

- The largest driver of new membership came from coverage in the region newspaper. We credit that with the transition from 1 or 2 degrees of separation to people we had no connection to.

- There’s been a few influencers who have shown up and documented their experience. We didn’t pay for it. It drove a few members, but the quality of the newspaper and Facebook group members was higher.


Curious, I'm also in NJ, which school district is this?


South Hunterdon School District.


Hey all, I created this site to help others and myself with meal planning. Its my first published solo projects so let me know what you think and what can be improved! Thanks!


Usually the font you have for the login and other places is used for things like Back To School supplies, and whatnot. If your audience is who I think they would be, I can't imagine them associating themselves to that font.

Also, while ratskellers are often basement (cellar) restaurants, the word literally means "council chamber." They pretty much always are associated to alcohol one way or other. Although that'll be great if you add in wine pairings.

So, there's a lot of mixed theming going on.

You know what a German ratskeller looks like. I wouldn't venture so far away from that theme with a name like that. There's a reason all brit pubs around the world pretty much look the same - like actual brit pubs!


Nice! How did you get your data?


I would imagine opening a restaurant and filling half the tables is better than a closed restaurant and no tables. Yea, margins are thin even when all tables are full but I'm sure they could negotiate on overhead costs + the loans from the government can help. In many cities I would be a lot of people would be willing to go out to eat once the ban is lifted - one for the experience, two so they don't have to cook anymore, and three to support their local businesses.
